Under the old RPI formula, the Hoyas would be at 34 right now... can't remember the last time they were up that high, but I think I was still a student (2001?).

Now let's climb the other 45 or so slots!

[Cambridge]

Most interesting thing is how some of our 200+ opponents have become #100s due to their success in their conferences. Keep it up!

[ShimmyJr]

that oral roberts loss really hurts --> we would be taken much more seriously if we had taken them down.

But just goes to show that we are constantly improving...let's hope that GU can make adjustments when Syracuse comes at them with their vaunted zone.

[hoyadrummer]

First time in many years that more than half of our out of conference opponents hve RPIs above 150. Since the selection committee has a special penalty (or used to anyway) for teams who played more than half their non con games against teams with RPI 150 and below, this is huge.

That penalty is a big reason why we were a 10 seed back in 2001
