[QUOTE="jrichisamazing, post: 1362043, member: 8500"] Obviously the most important question is how strong (or weak) is the B1G. KenPom really likes the B1G right now with all 14 teams at or near the top 100. RPI, on the other hand, only has 8 teams in the top 100. I'm guessing as the season goes on KenPom and RPI will meet somewhere in the middle. Where? I have no idea because I've never paid attention to the discrepancy between the 2. FWIW the lowest RPI to make the tournament is 67 ranked USC in 2011. So if we're not in that ballpark then we realistically have no shot. It would really suck if we have a solid B1G season, like 9-9 or 10-8, KenPom likes us, but our RPI doesn't rise enough for the committee to seriously consider us. I feel like that would make us the poster child for making RPI less of a factor on selection Sunday (which many people are already arguing for). [/QUOTE]
