Up to #45 in RPI this week (prior to tonight's win) after 
a really good performance against Oregon to get a split
on the road. Important to get some wins against a 
fellow bubble team in Oregon State, and tonight
was a good start.

Next 11 games are really big.  Three left against OSU then 8 against two top ten teams.  Anyone want to hazard a guess at what kind of record will be needed over the next 11 games to move on the post seasons?

We should get credit in terms of RPI just playing the contests against UCLA and UW (which are both top 10). Winning at least 1 out of 8 against them would be great. Winning this series against a fellow bubble team (particularly since it is at home) is critical. Also need that game against Cal for season series win. 

The bubble teams from non Power conferences playing weaker competition should continue to move back toward us, which has also helped our rise, along with getting two out of four against top 15 Ducks.

I think we will make it, but constraints of COVID is making things tougher due to having to play weaker regional competition in non-conference (Cal also having another tough year all around hurts).
