what's important 1st and foremost for all conferences and certainly the big east and pl as conferences that annually try to be the 4th league that may catch a stray is conference record.  of course it'll ultimately matter what kind of quality backs those games and records for positioning of that conference ooc record.

the big east is 17-26, 9 games below .500. that's no bueno.  they are gonna be 1 bid, just like last year with a similar record.  g'town finished 10-4? ish AND won their conference tourney and finished 16 rpi.

pl record is actually looking pretty good.  29-17 and they've played some good conferences.  bu and navy, army any of whom might be in 1/2 way decent spots for rpi if they can run thru the conference.  most recently, bu or army have been right outside the cutline (and i didn't check those years' ooc record, but i doubt it's as good as this year's).

if uva finishes anywhere near .500 (certainly not a guarantee), they're gonna be a top 20 win.  same with navy if they finish on an upswing.

fwiw, cuse looks like they have 3 sure fire top 20 wins thus far.  st joe's is only gonna maybe sneak in if they go undefeated except for richmond.  denver probably can only take 1 more loss, and that's unlikely.  penn has a very difficult ooc schedule, they're going to need to finish .500 or more likely slightly above to be top 20.
