It's December.
If you're using RPI Categorizations like "RPI Top 50" to judge what's a quality win and what's a bad loss this early, you're stupid. It's pretty simple.
To me, Texas A&M's win over Virginia Tech (neutral court) is more impressive than any individual win Arkansas has so far. Houston is mediocre and overrated; Texas is bad (although they could get better by season's end). UTA might be their best win.
Arkansas has the better overall computer resume lined up (A&M played too many 250+ type teams), but I simply think Texas A&M is the better team, and there's not that much of a difference in their resumes to justify saying that one needs to put Arkansas above A&M in a December power ranking, which is based mostly on how good I think these teams are.
If these were resume rankings and not power rankings, I'd move Tennessee down to 11 and LSU probably up to 8.

If you are using your opinions in a power ranking, I don't believe you should really be calling someone stupid because they decide to back theirs up by RPI. Regardless of how relevant it is atm.

This is exactly what I'm talking about
