Even if UCF does not make it...we could still end up with more top 50 wins this year. If the committee looks at other metrics like they said they would...we should be just fine. We are holding steady in Kenpom even with a horrible SOS so far.
If they seeded strickly based on the rpi, people would just game the rpi. You seem to be confused by that
