Probably. But over the past couple of years they've tweaked the formula to where it's no longer a gauge of how strong a team actually is.

Look at West Virginia....they have a top 30 RPI but they are 5-18 against RPI top 50 teams. 9-14 in their league. RPI says they're better than 3 teams in the SEC who will see post season play.

Now look at RPI 18 Indiana State. They're 3-3 vs the top 50 RPI, and have 22 wins over teams with RPIs at 101 or higher. That's nearly 3/4 of their wins. The RPI says they should have a shot at hosting.

Arkansas has played 28 times vs. top 50 rpi winning 14 and Indiana St.is looking to host a regional while Ark. is hoping to get a 2 seed.
Thats a problem most middle of the pack SEC teams face though.
