People worry too much about the RPI of our current opponents at this time and ignore what is probably more important.

And that is how your conference is doing in.    That is a really important thing to watch from an RPI perspective at this time of year.   Individual RPI by itself is a fairly meaningless metric.      But if the ACC plays well in November and December  (or plays poorly) it creates (or takes away) top 50 win opportunities.    Top 50 wins is really important when you are on the bubble.

Furthermore, if the strength of your conference, can artificially inflate some of your mediocore teams above that critical 100 line in the RPI, you avoid the "bad loss" on your resume.      And we are going to lose to some middle of the road team on the road this year (lets hope it is not teams)

As of right now, numbers wise the Big 12 is on track to be the best conference.     7 of 10 teams are tracking for top 50 RPI's.   Since the B12 plays everybody twice, they should have some inflated top 50 wins totals.
