I've been wondering how our RPI was so damn low given the buzzsaw of an SEC schedule we've had to this point. It's a fricking joke that midweek games have that much of an impact on RPI.

"So Arkansas pays a huge price for playing five games against No. 295 Mississippi Valley State (3-29) and No. 300 Grambling State (12-26). As a result, Arkansas ranks 46th in strength of schedule. Remove the three games against MVSU, and its SOS jumps to sixth. Take away the two games against Grambling, and it jumps to No. 1."
This is insane.
"Arkansas is 8-7 against the top 25 in the RPI, giving it the third-most top 25 wins of any team (behind only Florida and Kentucky). The Hogs are 10-10 against the top 50.
And the RPI says Indiana State (No. 21) is an NCAA tournament lock with a chance to host a regional, even though the Sycamores are just 1-2 against the top 25 and 2-4 against the top 50."
So is this.

It's just gonna keep us from being a regional host.. Best thing for us is get placed with a weak regional host

Yeah I wish we could host but we'll still be a 2 seed somewhere. We've played well on the road this year.

If the Hogs keep playing like they have been they can really make some noise in the postseason.. Just how much though im not sure

Maybe I'm missing something here but if scheduling SWAC teams are this devastating to our RPI, so much that it could be the difference in Hosting a Regional or being a 2 seed, then why in the name of all that's holy schedule them?????
If you can't find a mid week opponent that is not going to screw your RPI then just have a damn intersquad scrimmage.

Another Friday loss 
Killian has to be frustrated. 2-7 on the season and lost on giving up only one earned I believe

Posted on 4/26/14 at 10:05 pm to Litigator
I've heard of it but yeah that's before my time.
