Yes, the late games must have had some slight effect, and now the MVC is back at #2, but 2,3,4 are all tight.
What is really helping us this year is the fact that the teams near the bottom in the MVC have a decent rpi. As long as each one of these schools continue to get a win every few games (depending on who they play of course) their rpi's will continue to be decent. Most of the so-called power conferences have a couple of stinker teams that may help keep them down and below the MVC. Question: does anyone have a feel where they think the MVC will end up? I think probably #5.
Also, any time one of the prior Valley opponents wins, it will boost the entire MVC RPI.
That's why I keep pulling for DePaul, Michigan State, Tennessee Tech, and, yes, even Illinois!
Everyone was saying our CRPI would jump when we get to start to beat each other up and feed off of each other's high RPIs. Well, guess what: Conference season for the other guys are underway, and they get to do the same thing that we've done for the past 2 weeks: Beat up on each other to boost our SoS. The MVC just happened to get about a 2-week head start.
My honest guess: BracketBuster will kill our chance to finish in the top 3 and we'll have to settle for 4th. There just simply won't be enough good opponents to fill our schedule all the way down the line.
The MVC has dropped to 4th on realtimepri.com. It would be great to stay ahead of the BIG conferences (Big Ten, Big Least and Big 12). That would prove that the Valley has really "cracked the code" as it were.

The 2,3,4 teams are all very close to each other, and the order will likely continue to shift for the rest of the season based on how the teams that the MVC, SEC, and ACC do with their remaining games. Plus, the MVC has the bracket busters games that will have an impact. Right now, it's looking more like those games could be mostly a negative factor for the MVC, since the opponents they'll get amostly have lower RPIs.

The key in the BB is to win all (most) of the road games, since they give your RPI alittle boost.
There is a good chance that all the MVC teams will be in the top 100 when the BB is played in FEB. Hopefully everything shakes out right and all the MVC teams face off with teams that are also in the top 100 or atleast near it, thus not hurting the Conference's RPI.....and with winning most if not all the road games......helping the Conference RPI.
