If this holds we are right on the bubble. Makes Bama and A7M must win games since their RPIs Are projected better than ours. If we have a better conference record and beat A&M and Arkansas and split with Bama they at least have to bring our name up.

21-9 with a 59 RPI would not be on the bubble. That is squarely NIT.

This team has to go on a run and beat one of UT or Auburn in the process to start talking NCAA.

If we finish 6-3 i have a hard time believing that our rpi only drops 2 spots. It went up 6 for beating mizzou at home and 9 for beating USC on the road. If it moves an average of 5 either way each game, 6-3 would drop it by 15. I realize it's not that simple but i would guess we'd end up close to 50 with that finish.

Went down 6 for beating missouri, i should say

The computer is basically saying everyone pretty much is who they are at this point... So if we win what we should and everyone else does as well, there is naturally very little room for movement.

2-3 unpredictable wins from State and a few losses that should not happen by other teams ahead of us, you could see a 20 spot or more jump in RPI. We need to win all remaining home games and 1 or most likely 2 road games to really move the RPI needle.

Just for a little point of reference - Our final RPI the last 5 years

The struggle has been REAL, but MSU has made a lot of progress this season.
