I'm by no means an expert on RPI, but how on Earth is UGA still so high? They're 17-9, 8-6 in conference. They don't have any marquee non-conference wins. They're 2-3 against top 50, 6-5 against top 100, and have three recent losses (2x to South Carolina and one to Auburn) that are about as bad as LSU's three bad losses (Mizzou, Miss State, Auburn).
By contrast, LSU is 18-8, 8-6 in conference. They're 4-4 against Top 50 (including heads up against UGA), 9-5 against Top 100, and have a nice non-conference win over West Virginia. I absolutely understand why LSU is at 53 and hanging on for dear life and probably needs to win the next 3 before Arky. But why isn't UGA in a similar position? I see them as a safe 9-seed in bracketology right now, and it doesn't make sense. What am I missing here?

SOS
UGA has an OOC RPI SOS of 81 and an overall SOS of 32
Now look at LSU...
LSU has an OOC RPI SOS of 193(very, very bad) and an overall SOS of 100(still not good)
Basically, the formula shows that UGA being 17-9 with their SOS is more impressive than LSU being 19-8 against their much weaker SOS.
Make sense?

UGA is 2-3 against the top 50 but you have it into account that 2 of the losses are to 1 seeds. We will get another one next week when we play UK
