| After 4 straight loses, 1 unexplainable to South Carolina, Bama's RPI has plummeted from 15 to 39! 2 weeks ago they looked like a lock for the tourney, now they're barely hanging on to the bubble. The selection committee needs to reavaluate their system. Bama goes 12-4 in the SEC last year and gets snubbed. They're only 2-4 this year and they got a shot. I'm tired of the so much emphasis on non-conference wins. Its tough to win 12 games in the SEC! |

| Great win today over Georgia. By the way, I find it funny an auburn fan says the Tide stinks. Especially after the Tide beat auburn both times this year and especially since the barn is 10-19. Once again auburn fans showing their intelligence, or their lack of. |

| I also failed to mention before that the Tide's overall Strenght of Schedule ranks in the sub 125 range which isn't that good which also contributes to their high RPI number. Nontheless, Bama still controls it's own destiny to reach the tourney. As long as they keep winning, the commitee cannot keep them out! ROLL TIDE! |

| Stands for rated percentage index, basically it's a formula used to project a computer based ranking of all NCAA basketball programs. Similar of that to college football's BCS. It's based on strength of schedule, overall record, conference and non-conference wins, bad losses, and true road wins. Though Bama's tied for the best overall record in the SEC and their overall record is decent, their RPI is hurting because they had a horrible non-conference record, 5 bad losses to sub RPI 80 teams, including St. Peter's, Providence, Iowa, Seton Hall, and Oklahoma St. And they have only 4 true road wins, Auburn, LSU, Miss St, and Tennessee which was a great win. That win and their home win against Kentucky is what's keeping the Tide in the RPI top 100. Their RPI is now currently 78, but that can only improve slightly with wins at home against Auburn and on the road against Ole Miss. You'll see a RPI leap though if they either upset Florida in Gainesville who has a RPI of 13, or beat Georgia at home who has a RPI in the 30's. ROLL TIDE!!! |

| O.K. So someone please explain what constitutes a team's RPI. |

| Thanks to Bama's stellar (8-2) conference record they are back in the tourney conversation. In fact at this moment Joe Linardi has them as in the field. They still have work to do though. They have no non-conference road victories to speak of. Their best non-conference win was at home against Lipscomb. They must win at LSU, at home against Arkansas, and Auburn and then maybe 2 out of the next 3 at Ole Miss and Florida and then finsih up at home against Georgia to solidify their shot. But all in all, great turn around, it's been fun to watch! |
