When do the first D1 RPI rankings usually come out? On another topic, what surprises do expect to see in those rankings?

I see that no one answered your question so I will try.
I am not sure when the RPI comes out other than end of season.
Boyd Nation does a good job of psuedo RPI.
RPI really means little (to me anyway) until end of season, when the NCAA tournie field is announced. Top RPI teams usually get the regional, which of course is an advantage in the tourney.
Fresno State's RPI was 51 last year, it certainly doesn't determine who will win the championship, just helps getting into the field of 64.

RPI for college baseball is mis-leading with most D1's using "mid-week" pitchers for non weekend games.
Many teams "some what mildly" serious about winning mid week match ups typically against in state non conference D1's.
A look at NCAA tournament appearences over the last 3 to 5 years may show tru indicator of a programs consistancy.
Conference win's That's where its at.

Thanks for the answers, I had no idea if they worked similar to the BCS or not in football.
