if your rpi is 12 and you lose 5 in a row to teams between 26 & 70 in RPI, you would still likely be on the NT bubble, and would definitely make the postseason, which is all that is needed to make the list. but you won't lose them all... my RPI is counting on it.
also still waiting for jj to get things turned around there-- could this be the season that chicken little was finally correct? nah.
