Looks good. But not all Top50 RPI teams are the same. Not sure what Fl St. RPI is but I don't think we have played any team this year w a top 10 RPI.

You sort of beat me to the punch.

And why I love and appreciate your research, the way you present it makes it hard to truly do a comparison.


Here's another way to look at it,


# of teams in the rpi Top 25 with MORE Top 50 wins than Minnesota? Just SIX

# of teams in the rpi Top 25 with MORE Top 100 wins than Minnesota? Just EIGHT

# of teams in the rpi Top 25 with MORE BAD losses than Minnesota? SIX

# of teams in the rpi Top 25 with MORE Top 50 road wins than Minnesota? Just ONE!!!!

ONE. Only ONE. Last year's Natl Champs, Villanova, is the only team in the country with more Top 50 road wins than Minnesota.

# of teams in the rpi Top 25 with MORE Top 50 neutral game wins than Minnesota? Just SEVEN.

# of teams in the rpi Top 25 with MORE Top 50 Home losses than Minnesota? FIVE

# of teams in the rpi Top 25 with WORSE losses than Minnesota's loss to PSU? ELEVEN
