FWIW, we have the second highest RPI in the country.

It is those kind of RPI rankings that make it lose all its credibility.  Two loses in 8 games, and ranked #2 in RPI ??  Certainly the two teams that beat us should be ranked higher, if RPI were worth its salt.  Jeez, Texas is 8-0, beat the two-loss #2 ranked RPI team and gets a #21 RPI ???  Of course it is early in the season, but this situation helps one to understand that RPI is seriously flawed, even when things are relatively simple.  Later in the season, things are more complex so people can't point out the idiocy of it so easily.

So, in my opinion, FWIW, RPI is worth very little.
