with Northridge & UCSD having much better than expected seasons, the Big West RPIs are already good and will get better.

McKendree is the real surprise at #4, but then they've played Loyola twice already, plus played Beach, Hawaii, UCSD, not a surprise that their opponent % is a huge boost to their RPI

it'll be interesting come selection/seeded to see how the NCAA committee deals with Hawaii's massive home schedule advantage this year. 21 games at home, only 10 games on the road.

Beach will have 16 games on the road/neutral vs. 16 at home by comparison
