would have to run the numbers, UCI has a poor RPI record, so that will set back the RPI, as would a loss, or even a 1-1 record if win tonight, loss tomorrow, the #s are close
I think the perception issue would be PSU could end up #1 in RPI, if we lose tonight, so again, not safe
Ball State has really good metrics, and RPI in the MIVA conference favor, so as much as one would want to believe we are in, the only way is to take matters into our own hands and win tonight and tomm
the MIVA commissioner is on the selection committee, just saying, the only conference commissioner on the selection committee

With a win tonight and a loss tomorrow we will still have the #1 RPI and on all the other key metrics we are at least as good as Penn State and UCLA. The only major pitfall is we lost at home to Penn State. But there is too much going our way (metric wise) to really leave us out.
Now a loss tonight changes the picture as UCI would be a bad loss and might knock us out of the top RPI spot. Heck in men's volleyball any loss to a team outside the top 10 is a bad loss as there is so few schools that actually have men's volleyball.
