Diet Coke and Green Bay tournaments pretty much insured they won't be hosting.

Win 2 this weekend, and they're hosting. Settle down.

Rutgers will hurt their RPI, win or lose. And that's the point, their RPI is toast. MAYBE if they win the rest of their matches they could squeak by, but for every Nebraska, Oregon and Wisconsin, there's a Rutgers, Northwestern, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Iowa, Ohio State even. It has nothing to do with being unsettled.

Winning on the road against Penn St. will improve our numbers quite a bit.

1) They need to win that match (hardly a lock) and 2) Rutgers will cancel out whatever they gained. Maybe more than cancel out. RPI stinks, but no point in pretending it doesn't work the way it does. Diet Coke, even with Auburn, plus the Green Bay tournament seems to have torpedoed their chances of a decent RPI.

Note: as far as I know, NCAA volleyball RPI does not differentiate between home and road games

Even worse, it doesn't differentiate between 3-0 sweeps and 3-2 wins (or losses). Nor does it care if you lose sets by 2 points. It is a seriously flawed metric to use for something as important as NCAA tournament seeding. (And, yes, I know it supposedly isn't the ONLY thing they use.)

For better or worse the NCAA RPI remains a reliable predictor of whether power conferences teams will host and/or make the tournament
 



SMU's loss to Stanford today is a perfect example. They were swept, but outscored by only 7 points -- and last set was 35-33. All losses are not the same.
