ESPN Daily MWC RPI

Current JANUARY 5th:

(RPI projections above are current as of the date stated; from this point on is the stream that started in November)

It's way too early for RPI estimates to be statistically meaningful, but it's fun to watch.

By the end of December the MWC's RPI will be a good predictor of how many bids the conference is worthy of... and also the teams with horrible RPI ratings will be known - these are the teams that will drag the rest of the league's RPI down as MWC conference play goes on.

ESPN Daily MWC RPI

By virtue of what will be one of the top SOS's in the country, should UNLV win a couple "key" games and win most of those that they should win, the RPI should be really good.

(RPI estimate as of Nov 23)

 

[BleedRebelRed90]

SDSU and BSU have both leap-frogged Utah St, and this is how the rankings should look for a while. SDSU has a solid lead over Pitt in the second half and BSU won tonight - neither of those games is factored into this.

Fresno and AF both lost tonight.

UNLV's drop is due to SOS (strength of schedule) drop due to Sam Houston getting clocked by Wofford and Morehead State losing American and two other RPI150+ schools. Early in the season there will be shifts but things should start to average out.

The RunninRebs have settled in around the low 50's. Unfortunately there won't be much opportunity to advance in the next three weeks - the next RPI Top 150 opponent the Rebs face will be Utah on December 20th.

ASU is currently 183, so IF we beat them they will probably drop out of the top 200.

The game Friday against Saint Katherine won't be calculated into the RPI.

I agree it.is entertaining to look at, but making predictions on it is like predicting the weather next month.

I like to watch kenpom instead. UNLV right now 106, and ASU at 83.

If unlv wins, th rpi will take care of itself in the end. What's hurting it now is that all our past opponents are performing between mediocre and horrible.

I secretly checked RPI as well, but I wasn't brave enough to admit it.

Regardless of RPI, I will consider a win against ASU a good win, and a stepping stone to 7-1 on our way to Utah and Arizona. Coming out of there at 8-2 would be pretty good, before hosting the always tough Thunderbirds of SUU.

 

[rebelluver]

Agreed. A win at ASU would do wonders for my confidence, not to mention the players.

Snapshot Dec 9th. The loss to ASU (#156 RPI) hurt.

CSU has risen to the top of the heap as they remain undefeated.

The bottom three teams are going to be RPI SOS killers when it comes to conference play.

 

[2ndGenRebel]

The worst thing about Fresno St.is that when they get Cezar Guerrero and their freshman Bailey back, they're actually going to be good and beat some of the top 5 teams in the conference and their RPI is so pathetic that it may drag the whole conference down. Hopefully, they just redshirt those guys and call this a lost season but I doubt that happens.

 

[BleedRebelRed90]

What a difference a game makes...

The MWC had already evolved into three clusters of teams: The GOOD, The BAD, and The UGLY BAD, with UNLV kind of being the outlier floating between the GOOD (CSU, SDSU, BSU) and the BAD (Wyo, USU, UNM, AF) clusters. The Arizona win attached UNLV to the GOOD group.

Unfortunately when conference play starts all those games against the UGLY BAD and even any losses to the BAD are going to be RPI killers.

 

[BleedRebelRed90]

This is where things ended up after the opening MWC games and UNLV's final non-conf game at Kansas.

CSU's loss to UNM and SDSU's loss to Fresno State are figured in.
