Top 10 Conferences by RPI as of 04/30/2017:
1) Big XII
2) SEC
3) ACC
4) Pac-12
5) AAC
6) Conference USA
7) B1G
8) Big West
9) Sun Belt
10) Souther
That's good for four spots in the NCAA Tourney, IMO: Maryland, Nebraska, Michigan, and Minnesota/Indiana/Purdue/Iowa (depending on conference ranking and B1G Tourney performance).

Looks like NU's RPI dropped a bit this week. The next 2 series at home are going to be big. It would be great to go 5-1 against Rutgers and Michigan State. Can't do worse than 4-2.

WarrenNolan.com has Nebraska as one of the Last 4 teams into the tourney...
...which honestly doesn't make any sense considering Nebraska's RPI isn't bad (42--it went up a point since CHusk posted yesterday, I guess?) and they have Indiana going from not even projected to make the tourney (04/24) to skipping the bubble and being the third seed in the Louisville bracket. All while Nebraska is the third seed in the Oregon State bracket.
I honestly think WarrenNolan mixed Nebraska and Indiana up, and Indiana was meant to be one of the 'Last 4 In' teams. There's nothing that's happened that should have downgraded their position since last week IMO.
EDIT: Ah, I see--go to the Predicted Conference Standings for the B1G, and it has us getting third in the conference (With a predicted 41 RPI) and barely edging out Indiana, who will have a very similar record. That means they see us going 7-3 over our final games (and Indiana 5-1-1--really, they predict another tie for Indiana...
) which may mean we lose a series we shouldn't and hobble into the B1G Tourney.
Honestly, can't argue with that prediction, considering there's precedent for this happening under Erstad. Here's hoping this year we break the trend and do some major damage.

Its' interesting that Nolan goes to the predicted record before conference tournament to give his predicted field. However, if NU does go 7-3 in the final 10 games, while that would put NU on the bubble, he still has NU in the field of 64. I think that is in line with most of our thoughts over the past few weeks. If NU goes 8-2 or better, NU should be safely in the field of 64. If NU goes 7-3, it is getting close. At 6-4 or worse, NU would be in serious jeopardy of missing out of the NCAA tournament.WarrenNolan.com has Nebraska as one of the Last 4 teams into the tourney...

I think finishing in the top 3 or 4 of the conference regular season, along with a top 4 finish in the conference tournament would get NU in. It's gonna be a fun last month of the conference season.

I think that's a little too optimistic--if we go 6-4, Minny or Iowa are liable to jump up and steal our spot, especially considering the lack of separation between 3rd through 6th.Its' interesting that Nolan goes to the predicted record before conference tournament to give his predicted field.
