One thing you may want to look at CB is whether all your conference victories over the high (high being bad) RPI teams are being trumped by better wins from the other teams in their respective conferences. For example, I have seen several times where my team would absolutely crush a bad team in conference play and my PR position will drop a spot or two despite my RPI staying in the same position (SOS obviously would have taken a bit of a hit). It's because the teams around me were winning that night against better quality teams even if they weren't top 50 RPI-type teams. Say they beat the #105 RPI team and I beat the # 205 RPI team, both with identical records. I'm more than likely losing ground and rightfully so, I think. Even though it wasn't a "quality" win for him in terms of Top 50, 100, or whatever RPI, it was a "better" win. Does that make any sense at all?
