Its typically harder for teams like us to maintain during conference play but asun and strong midweek should help.I guess I can agree with that but you have an RPI saving Series this week with USF and while stetson may be down FGCU and UNF should be RPI boosters on top of the midweek ACC schedule. I sometimes forget that not everyone plays a Full ACC schedule. My guys are sitting in the 70's right now but we have a full conference schedule coming up.
Warren nolan is def the metric to use. Not close either.

Naturally your going to get big swings from day to day or series to series this early but it can also give you an idea how much difference a win or loss can make, especially a really good win on the road vs a home loss to a bad team. BTW, Liberty jumped about 26 points with the VT win.

NW predictive rpi has us around 35 which would be good for at least a 3 seed (43-12 regular season record) . Boyd's starts printing their rpi needs report tomorrow. Looks like we should be ok as long as we keep winning at this pace.
Still have 5 acc games including 4 on the road 3 of which are in the top 100 rpi probably all 5 by the time we get there with uva and wake playing better.
