huskrplaya Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 After the win against Kansas State we are 37th in RPI. Here is the list of the B1G teams from the RPI ratings. 9. Purdue 37. Nebraska 57. Ohio State 70. Illinois 89. Michigan State 168. Indiana 183. Minnesota 191. Penn State 211. Iowa 240. Michigan 256. Northwestern It's pretty sad for the teams that are over 200 but it's not too bad seeing 5 teams under 100 even thoght that will probably change when conference games start. Also, California is 113 with a 9-2 record which means they havn't really played anybody so we should give them a run for their money at home especially if we have another 4000+ crowd. This series could really tell us how good the huskers are. Quote Link to comment
95huskers Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Good work Playa... also to note that the Zags are 10-0 Quote Link to comment
bball_backer Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Seeing Purdue so high made me take a look at their opponents' schedules. I know longer think as highly of them as I did before. The only good team they played, Maryland, beat them 11-1. After looking at UCONN, Cinci and Notre Dame's schedules... those are not great wins. Purdue is decent, you don't go 8-1 without some talent, but they are most definitely beatable by an average team - which NU seems to be and is improving. Quote Link to comment

Purdue is better than you are apparently giving them credit for. ECU and WCU are better than the majority of the Big Ten year in and year out. ECU is a really solid win and WCU is a pretty good one also. Purdue was and still is ahead of us in the Big Ten.. We are growing as a team, but still not where we need to be yet. Also, where are you pulling the RPI #s from? *edit* One other thing... Zaga is playing solid ball right now, but their RPI will take a big hit as they go into conference play as ours will also. Cal is going to have to be competitive in the Pac 12 to help our RPI. Quote Link to comment

MoStateHusker Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 That too site is awesome. It was updated within 20 mins after the ksu game. Gonzaga is #2 rpi. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I think it's interesting that Michigan was picked to win the B1G, but they're ranked 240th by this site. EDIT - my bad. The Coaches picked Sparty, not Michigan. Quote Link to comment

Cal is going to have to be competitive in the Pac 12 to help our RPI. I said they're good. Just not as good as I had originally thought. They aren't like some of the Texas or aTm teams NU had to play in the Big 12, which is to say if you are an average or slightly above average team (like NU, as I said) you have a chance to beat them.

Fair enough. If you had them on that level then I would agree, they definitely aren't THAT good. Nobody we will play all year is on that level (although UT is not playing well at all, so sad to see........). We definitely can compete with Purdue, I don't doubt that at all. And playa, I usually look at boyd's site to see the RPI info and I noticed it didn't match. Figured you probably got them from warrennolan, but I never went and looked there. The RPI numbers so far are just "educated guesses" because the NCAA doesn't release those numbers until later in the year, I believe. warrennolan is definitely not the eyesore that boyd's site is, I've just always liked boyd's stuff.

huskrplaya Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 As of right now..the updated list look like this as of 6pm central time Warren Nolan RPI 5. Purdue 32. Nebraska 46. Michigan State 48. Illinois 86. Ohio State 172. Indiana 177. Minnesota 196. Penn State 217. Iowa 256. Michigan 272. Northwestern Quote Link to comment
huskrplaya Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 After going 2-2 agaisnt Cal and aftser Gonzaga goin 0-3 this weekend... 4. Purdue 44. Nebraska 82. Illinois 94. Michigan St 109. Ohio St 177. Penn St 194. Minnesota 200. Indiana 217. Iowa 234. Michigan 269. Northwestern This isn't looking very good anymore..hopefully some teams can start getting some wins. Louisiana Tech is 143, about where Cal was before the series started so they might be near tough but doubt they have the bats Cal does so we should go 3-1 against them. Quote Link to comment
