The MVC conference RPI dropped from 7th to 10th last night with the losses of BU to IUPUI, and Evansville to Murray State, and ISU's win over Chicago State.

MVC's Conference RPI has now dropped behind the MAC and is in 12th place.
gotta wonder if Wichita had only a few losses, the MVC's RPI would be even worse and be down around the summit - kinda just what Mo was saying... -

RealTimeRPI shows the MVC 12th
Most others, CBSSports, RPIForecast and WarrenNolan.com show the MVC back into 11th after Saturday's games-

With the MVC games completed, the MVC's conference RPI is ranked 12th among the Division I conferences.
Ironically, the next conference behind them is the Big West. This listing shows the Big West 14th, but the 13th ranked "conference" is not actually a conference. It is the D1 independents, which this season consists of only 1 school, New Jersey Institute of Technology.
The Missouri Valley has fallen off significantly from when they routinely ranked 6th, 7th, or 8th for most of the past dozen years. OTOH, Big West is greatly improved. They were the 22nd ranked conference just last season, and have averaged in the 20's until this season. Now, with the loss of Creighton in the MVC and the decline of several usual quality programs like Bradley, SIU, MSU, etc., the Big West is almost equal to the MVC in RPI now.Comment

The raw numbers show the MVC closer to #8 than to the Big West. The Ivy is also ahead of the Big West now by .0004.Comment
