My Answer (in terms of 2018) is we would still likely be out, but we would be in the first 4/first 8 out discussion, which is more favourable than now.   So much closer to the NCAA tournament than now.

I can't answer in terms of 2005 -- things were different back then (no quads, no kickers for road wins), but I can answer in terms of 2018 -- the last year the RPI was used.

They still run LIVE RPI data on Warren Nolan.  We are
RPI - 32
Q1 - 1-6 under RPI, 2-7 under NET
Q2 - 3-2 under RPI, 3-1 under NET
Overall 4-8 under RPI, 5-8 under NET.
NET actually helps our "quality" win outlook.   Because of Pitt.

As of this morning our RPI is #32... there have been some P6 teams that missed the tournament with RPI's in the 30's.   I believe the lowest is somewhere between 31 and 35 IIRC.

[B]Similar to now individual RPI or NET isn't going to put you over the top, it was still a selection based on Q1/Q2 wins and bad losses.  And we lack in that.  [/B]  But we would certainly get more "benefit of the doubt" under the RPI.

I think the comments would be more like "Syracuse is a bit of a dilemma with the high RPI.  If Syracuse can get 1 or 2 more quality wins they would be a lock"   Now 1 or more 2 Q1/Q2 wins doesn't lock us into anything.
