"Oklahoma (34). The Sooners went 9-3 in the nonconference, and they beat West Virginia on the road in their Big 12 opener. I expect them to be riding the bubble the next couple of months. I like that Oklahoma only played two teams ranked 200 or below, but I don't like that they lost at home to Stephen F. Austin. The Lumberjacks may be 69th in the RPI, but that is still a bad loss."

Gonna be disappointing if losing that SFA game is what keeps us out of the Dance.
 
The 34 is our non conference strength of schedule ranking not our RPI.
 
With the way advanced statistics have infiltrated sports in recent years, I look forward to the day when the outdated RPI is no longer a reference point in college basketball.
