hey po, i realize it is early, but through 13 games, bigeast tark has conf rpi of .6284 !

i dont watch these things that closely, but isnt it a good sign that our rpi has increased over .0200 (from aorund .6050 to .6284) in just 3 games since conf play started?

Smith Big East finished with .6015 RPI this past season.

^^^^^ thats wooden

key posts at top of thread could not convert - this is a cool thread - maybe the originator can re-do those?

Rupp Season 44 - D1

BIG12 finishes with an RPI of .6030

and

SEC finishes with an RPI of .5953

***Both of those are good enough for the list (at least with the official list that has been posted).

Phelan 26 - DIII - Piedmont - Claytes09 - .7110

Phelan 26 - dII - Lane - PItino27 - .7010

The BE in Tark last season definitely cracked the list but I can't remember the exact RPI but is was in the .5900 range, I'm thinking closer to the .5960 range.

thats funny kavedude.. i was about to post here and hadnt seen your post and was thinking just about the same thing/   I seem to recall .5940 for some reason,

i am guessing no other conf on the list  got there without a single elite8 team. 

that was season 046 for tark big east ..... in case anyone is keepoing score.

I'll repeat since it hasn't been updated. 

Wooden Season 44, the Big East finished with .6015 RPI this past season.

Also, the Smith Season 44 SEC will finish on the list and has an outside shot at the D1 record.  Would be great to see these updated.

Central atlantic IBA last season would have been on the list, but didn't save it. We are at 57xx right now with 7 in the NT and 1 more in the pit.
