RPI still has quite a few teams way out of whack, but it should start looking "normal" in about 3 weeks. Trust me, this is the craziest projection you'll see out of me this year, and it's the last time you'll see a team (Indiana) in my field with a RPI in the 100s.

An * denotes best conference record or, in the case of ties, the team with the best RPI in a multiple-bid league.
