I subscribe to realtimerpi.com, and they always have some interesting content and projections. Now that we're almost 2/3 through the season, RPI is becoming an increasingly relevant topic. BC's current RPI is 34 and their SOS is 25. The SOS is projected to increase to 22 by the end of the season. The site projects that BC will finish at 9-7 in the ACC and 19-11 overall; more significantly, if they do finish at 19-11, the site projects a final RPI of 41 (not including ACC Tourney, of course). BC has benefited slightly over the last couple of weeks in the computer rankings by stronger play from their nonconference opponents.
I remain comfortable in my prediction in another thread that 20 wins definitely gets BC in, whereas 19 put BC squarely on the bubble. At 20 wins, BC's resume would be as follows: mid 30s RPI, at least one signature road/neutral win (Texas A&M), 10 ACC wins. One area that BC would improve is wins over top 50 RPI teams; currently we only have one, although we do have a moderately strong record versus the RPI top 100 (6-5). The fact of the matter is that it is very rare for power conference teams to be left out of the dance with an RPI above 40. And, based on the fact that 68 teams will qualify, three additional bubble teams will make the tournament compared to prior years. I believe that if BC finishes 20-11 or 20-12, they're dancing.
