Re: How Early is Too Early? Inside the PWR
Right - the catch is that if they keep that same record against TUCs, their RPI will likely drop some as well, so all of that drop can't be attributed to the TUC comparison clicking in - but it's certainly something to keep an eye on.
Look at Bemidji - they might not get to 10 games. They're at 5 right now, with 2 coming up against UMD. Other than that, they've got two against RPI #26 UNO later in the season, and they've already played RPI #28 Minnesota twice - but they've also played RPI #24 Minnesota State twice (and lost both).
All of those teams could move in or out of BSU's RPI resume, which will both change the chances of them ending the season with at least 10 TUC games, and also potentially changing the pool of results against those TUCs. For example, if Minnesota (with whom BSU split) became a TUC instead of Minnesota State (who swept BSU), that's a net gain for the Beavers - IF they get to 10 games overall...
