Shox RPI at 94 according to Warren Nolan.

And I'll just point out that sCUm RPI is 50.

Why bother posting that? Because sCUm SoS rank is 158 vs. WSU SoS 125 which demonstrates that winning games regardless of who you play (sCUm W/L 32-12, WSU 30-22) carries more weight vs. just getting a better schedule and underperforming vs. that schedule. Even Ill. St. is in at RPI 68 with an SoS of 142 and a 27-15 record.

It isn't just about playing the tough games, it is about winning the games you play.

Too bad for sCUm - 50 still isn't good enough for an at-large. Boo-hoo.
