Does anybody remember what our RPI was in the year 2000 when we last received an at-large bid? How about the NIT years that followed. Like the fact Davidson is winning so may give us another top 50 win by season's end

That make our current top 50 record 2-3?? With three more chances left? Winning another one would be huge

No, 42 is correct. 55 would have way to low to get an at-large bid.

Any site that updates their RPI after the post season is pointless.
The NCAA does it for one major reason: The NCAA results basically increase the RPI of everyone who made the tournament, which makes their selections look totally justified…
UCLA - Selection Sunday 48, Final NCAA Report: 39
Colorado State - Selection Sunday 29, Final NCAA Report 37
CollegeRPI.com has our 2000 RPI as #40. They are a Selection Sunday. The NCAA used to have "secret" adjustments for games scheduled against RPI segments. We were in front of UNC and Villanova on CollegeRPI.com, who as power conference teams likely got the "SOS bonus"

I always like to say that the Top50 RPIs get bids (since historically that is true of the 68 team bracket) but this year there are two additional bids with top20 teams SMU and Louisville taking post season bans.
This could be another six bid year for the A10. Four bids is what I was projecting a while back but the volitility of other conferences has helped the A10.
Will be interesting to see how many of the top six get bids. I haven't watched enough games to know the overall landscape but I think one or two of the top-6 A10 teams could find themselves in the NIT.
I could see a fifth or sixth place A10 team getting an at large over a fourth or fifth place A10 team depending on A10 tournament results and their total resume.

As of now three teams from A10. The A10 tourney champ and 2 at large. My guess would be VCU, Dayton and Joe's. The next two out are Bonas and GW. Next three games mean a lot. We have legitimate shot at regular season champion and A10 champion. Need to win out. Staying positive

RPI is a crude autoregressive metric (res will understand), but we are reaching the point in the season where it converges with more informed measures of team performance. However, there are still a lot of those ranked in the 35-50 RPI range likely to be flushed out in the next month. I just hope the Bonnies aren't one of them, and the foolproof way to assure we're not is to keep winning.
