No problem with this.   We have the quality wins and this RPI is not out totally out of the range of what has been accepted before.    I think the RPI at 72 is totally irrelevant in assessing us a bubble team

Now what if we lose to Georgia Tech in the first round of the ACC tourney

While the individual RPI is very de-emphasized this is still the highest any team would ever get in with.    Having an 80+ RPI is a bit of a concern and I could see it not being irrelevant at this level.  I have no basis for this, just a gut feeling.    I think if the RPI is so high it subconsciously forces people to look more at our other warts (bad losses and road wins) rather than focusing on what is really good on our resume.   Not to say we can't make it with the above, but it's not a 100% lock either.

I am not going to bother posting our 17-15 projection.   We have not locked anything despite what Dick Vitale said last night,
