The MVC is still the 7th best conference in RPI, and the 5th best in SOS (Strength of Schedule)-

Good solid numbers for the Valley. This is how you do. I think the ACC and maybe the SEC can get around the Valley in SoS when their league play starts merging all their numbers together, but even if that happens, #7 CSoS is a return to expectations.

Even BU with a 5-9 record comes in well under 200 in RPI.
For 4 league teams with legit NCAA hopes, road wins vs. Missouri St., ISU (red), Drake, and maybe even Evansville will look decent on the resume.

The MVC still has a shot at 3 NCAA teams (likely if CU doesn't pick up the Automatic bid), very good chance at 2, and an outside chance of just 1 again if things fall apart for the hopefuls.

SIU: 4-0 against intrastate competition.
