Here's the kicker, and I might be wrong, but I just did some back-of-the-envelope math and I think if you replace LSU's win over Alcorn State for example with a LOSS to Duke, our RPI goes up.
I was seriously wondering the other day whether our loss at home to Xavier was helping our RPI more than our win at Tennessee. Since the SOS only counts winning percentages and doesn't count what the team's ranking is, we don't get much credit for beating Tennessee even though they are highly ranked in the RPI ratings because their record is mediocre.

RPI does factor in opponents' SOS.
