Some other data

[B]Our projected RPI by victory total[/B]

[ATTACH=full]87898[/ATTACH]

At least at 11-7 our RPI becomes respectable at 57.

[B]Can the bad losses turn?[/B]
Sub 100 RPI is a bad loss, but I think once it gets below 150 it looks really bad.   Most P5 teams will have a loss on the road to a low 100 team in conference by season's end.

Boston College - Need to go 5-5 to get below RPI 150
UConn - Need to go 6-3 to get below 100, need to go 3-5 to stay below 150
St. John's - Need to go 6-3 to get below 100, need to go 3-6 to stay below 150.
Georgetown - Need to go 2-7 to stay below 100

Future top 50 wins opportunities?[/B]
This is ACC team's expected RPI's at the end of the season.  RPI forecast uses Sagarin to project future results.

This was before today's results, so I am sure Clemson is now projected top 50, but Wake may no longer be.  It also does not include Syracuse and Georgia Tech win's today, so they are both top 100 now.

It's hard to get a bad loss in the ACC.   Basically any win is a top 100 win.    We were lucky to play 5 of those 7 teams at home this year.   We need to capitalize.
