RPI:

Kentucky .6565
Florida .6280
Vanderbilt .6115
Alabama .6082
Mississippi State .5985
Ole Miss .5790
Arkansas .5665
LSU .5616
Georgia .5337
Tennessee .5165
Auburn .5170
South Carolina .4963

I see one win over a team with a lesser RPI (Auburn), with 4 games against those below us, plus a game with a team we beat already.

I don't think losing to State really takes that much off the table, to be honest.

ETA: Sorry.... I used statistics and facts to make my case.... I promised I would stop doing that. Strike whatever I said.

Sheep we're not making it in at 9-7 +2 tournament wins after losing to Mississippi State. That would be a solid NIT resume.

I hope you dont honestly believe that RPI is a good indication that we should win a game or not... Arkansas hasn't won a game on the road all season... We should win that. Ole Miss at home are you kidding me? They were playing like crap. The game before us they beat powerhouse Southern Methodist 50-48 and lost the 3 previous to Dayton, Middle Tenn, and Southern Miss. Auburn is plain bad, and Alabama was missing 4 of their 5 starters...

Numbers are good, but you have to use the right ones.
