12/14 Rankings for WSU
KenPom - 33
RPI - 49
WSU's RPI was in the 200s on December 1st and was outside the top 100 until the UNLV win. KenPom has had them top 50 all year long, and has clearly been much better tracking WSU through the early season ups and downs.
If you are putting much stock into the RPI before Christmas, you are doing it wrong.

Say WSU goes 27-6, wins MVC regular season & tourney.
Narrative on selection sunday will be:
Excellent Non-conf schedule
Won the tough games when they were healthy
One of hottest teams in the country
Has seniors with tournament experience ready for one last strong run
In that case, WSU is a single digit seed at absolute worst, probably most likely a 4, 5, or 6.

KenPom has never left top 50.

I guess I don't get the optimism wrt seeding. We had an incredible year last year, following a F4 and a 35-1 season, and were rewarded with a 7 seed. No one is looking for an excuse to move WSU up seed lines. Clearly they were looking for an excuse to move them down seed lines. I don't see what could have changed in a year.
