I found a website that includes the SOS component of RPI separately:

http://realtimerpi.com/rpi_Men.html

Using that information, I can calculate that our RPI would improve to 0.5707 from  0.5589.

Assuming no other team's RPI changes, that would move us from 76 to 67 in rank.

We can hope that a win over (likely) vandy tomorrow would move us up the same amount.

This ignores the changes in SOS, which of course is in flux every day as our former opponents play games, but those changes are fairly small.

I know RPI is not everything and the committee is not going to be just looking at that by itself, but I think breaking below 60 will be a big help, and that we can be in the high 50s if we make the SECCT final.

Of course, we definitely have to beat Ole Miss.  Don't want to overlook that.  But Cuonzo got interviewed at halftime by the Auburn network last night, and he definitely sounds prepared.  Looking forward to tonight's game.....
