The funny thing about RPI is as long as we aren't a complete disaster, our RPI is going to jump with all the RPIs left.
WarrenNolan's "prediction" actually has us 3rd in conference at end of year (although he counts the hole midweek games as conference...) but still highest RPI of Pac-12 teams at 10 because of who we have left to play (with UCLA winning conference at RPI 20, Arizona 18 and hole 29)

They won though. Impressive. Oregon State jumped another spot with Grand Canyon's win. The Beavers are 14-2 against the #18 SOS slate of non-conference opponents, the nation's #1 non-conference RPI. If only, the Beavers were more dominant in conference......... Second half is where all the money is. Let's see how much the boys have learned. |

The earlier mention of going 22-5 to finish (21-5 now with 26 left) is a bit mind bending. Possible? I guess. But, with a 7-5 home and Pac12 record, some tough NC games, and 6 Pac12 series left... ahhhh. For example, 21-5 would mean winning EVERY Pac12 series, with one sweep, AND winning all NC games. Lots, of possibilities, but for every NC loss OSU would have to be better than 13-5 in their remaining Pac12 series. With (2) vs Zags, (3) vs LBState, (2) vs ucks, and finishing with UCLA and @zona... just don't see 21-5 as realistically possible. The last 26 are much tougher than first 28. |

I believe that 21-5 was a miscommunication. I was thinking more like 18-8 with a top four finish in the Pac-12 Tournament. That, to me, says National Seed. Maybe seven or eight, as opposed to one or two, but that should be good enough. |
