The Beavers started the weekend in 9th place in RPI but have fallen to 17th with the loss. If Oregon State wins the series, they stay in the top 20. A split and the Beavers fall to 24th. If Utah sweeps, Oregon State falls to 29th.
Texas Tech has the highest RPI and will probably maintain that position with a series win over West Virginia. If the Raiders slip, Stanford can probably take over the top spot with a series win over Oregon.
The team with the next-highest RPI in the Pac-12 is Oregon. With a sweep, the Ducks could have a top 15 RPI. With a series win, Oregon would probably have a top 20 RPI and would likely pass Oregon State.
California is fourth in RPI. Fifth-place UCLA will pass California, unless the Bears sweep the Bruins. With a series win, UCLA would have a top 30 RPI, at top 45 RPI with a series loss, and a 64th-place RPI with two losses. California would have about a 36th-place RPI with a sweep, a top 50 RPI with a split of the last two games, and a top 75 RPI with a UCLA series win.
In non-conference RPI, Arizona is playing RPI-poison Nicholls State. Arizona beat Nicholls State in the series opener. With a sweep, the Wildcats probably hover around 110 in RPI. With a loss, Arizona probably falls to 130 in RPI. If Nicholls State takes the series, the Wildcats' RPI would probably fall into the 150s.
Oregon State's best wins were the three against California. Ohio State is the second-best opponent so far. The Buckeyes play three games against the Cornhuskers this weekend in Columbus, another Oregon State opponent. Ohio State wins generally help Oregon State. In particular, a Buckeye sweep would be helpful. Gonzaga is winning in the eighth. If the Zags can take the series, they would probably be a top-70 team.
New Mexico beat #23 San Diego State in the first game of the series yesterday in San Diego. With a sweep, the Lobos could be around 117. A series win likely gets New Mexico to around 121. The Lobos probably stay pat with a series loss.
Cal Poly can move to a top 200 team with at least a split with Cal State Northridge. Portland can do the same with at least a split against Santa Clara.
Hartford continues to be a slug with regards to RPI but has a big chance to move up with a home game against Connecticut tomorrow. Hartford also plays Central Connecticut this weekend. Connecticut is Hartford's final foreseeable opportunity chance to dramatically upgrade its RPI.
