Thats just it. Mid 40s RPI with quality wins gets you in the tourney.

No it doesn't. I think CBS did a comparison. SMU was just as bubbly as teams in the previous years. They should have been in, but its not a "travesty"

After seeing what went on this season for USF to get an at large invite we would need to go 25 and 7 or 26 and 6. Our conference doesn't have the respect for anything worse from us.

A lot will depend on our OOC wins

Bingo!

I disagree. A quick look at 2012 and 2013 rpi and field would indicate otherwise. Teams with that rpi range from 8-12 seeds.

But I am interested in that CBS story if you have it handy.

This seems like a strange thread for the day after a member of our conference won the tourney.

There's no doubt but I'm not interested in squeaking by anyway. Domination is my standard.

I've googled the crap out of it. All I can find is a USA today saying its not egregious. They finished the regular season with a RPI of 53.

It's a travesty that SMU was top 25 ranked and didn't even make the tourney.  

The Top 25 is a travesty imho.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
