This is out of 290 teams.

The RPI is totally unforgiving if you happen to schedule a bottom feeder or worse, a D2 team.
For instance, Nebraska and Florida State would be in or around the top 10 if they didn't go to Hawaii and play Hilo ( # 249 ).

Congrats to Itchy and the Illini, especially since we have hammered him on occasion.

I find it hard to believe that the RPI is right for WIU at 244. I would compare the non-conf schedule to anyone anywhere. Tex Tech, Okl., Okl. State, Mich State, LSU, Arizona State twice, **** Roberts 4 times, I don't see EIU, SIU, ISU, or alot of other schools playing that type of schedule. The conf. schedule is not the best teams but if they are in the conf you got to play them.
The problem is that they play Chicago State, Oakland and several other bottom dwellers. The RPI kills a team that has so many low RPI opponents.

And though they did beat Texas Tech and O. Roberts once, thier overall record against the teams you mentioned is 3-18! (the 3rd win was VS Mich.State and they are @ # 144 themselves)
