Marquette drops to 69 in the RPI

Back of the envelope here ....

Last year's RPI of 50 equated to a 6 seed.

What does a RPI of 68 equate to?  10 or 11 seed?

Well, first you should use the 57 because that's what our RPI was on Selection Sunday...not 50.

Second, look at someone like Florida who had a 56 RPI on Selection Sunday...they ended up with a 10 seed despite having one better RPI number than MU who got a 6 seed.

So the back of the envelope thing doesn't work as well for seedings because of the Pod implications, avoiding rematches in the first round, conference avoidance, etc.
