MOUNTAIN WEST RPI's (NCAA.com - I believe the most accurate)
1. Colorado State (#27)
2. San Diego State (#30)
3. Boise State (#40)
4. Wyoming (#72) - Noticed this has gained about 70 spots since December 30th. Win and will continue to rise.
5. UNLV (#98)
6. New Mexico (#131)
7. Utah State (#149)
8. Fresno State (#223)
9. Air Force (#256)
10. Nevada (#297)
11. San Jose State (#338)
STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE
1. UNLV (#56)
2. SDSU (#77)
3. Boise State (#90)
4. CSU (#101)
5. New Mexico (#144)
6. Utah State (#146)
7. San Jose State (#154)
8. Wyoming (#182) - (Notice how this jumped over 130 spots since December 30th. Trending Upwards. Should continue)
9. Nevada (#197)
10. Fresno State (#214)
11. Air Force (#225)
NCAA SELECTION CRITERIA
W-L: Reach minimum of 25 D1 Wins. Would be UW positive
RPI: Reach Top 40: Could happen with strong finish and an additional good RPI game in MW Tournament (BSU, CSU, SD)
SOS: Should continue to rise. How much? Key is non-conference opponents winning, helps this area. Add MW Tourney GM.
Wins versus Top 50: Cowboys are 3-2. Not bad. Chance to pick up additional wins w/ SDSU and MW Tourney Game.
Wins Versus Top 100: Cowboys are 5-2 (With CU on verge)
Wins versus Top 150: 7-4
Head-to-Head with NCAA Bubble Teams: CSU (2-0), BSU (1-0), SDSU (0-1??) 3-1
Final 10 Games: To Be Determined - How do the Pokes finish? Key area (Cowboys control own destiny)
Good RPI Wins: CSU Twice, Boise Once. SDSU? Take another in the MW Tournament. Can CU, perhaps NMST Climb?
Bad Losses: Air Force, Utah State. Not too bad in this category, especially Nance out for Air Force (Consideration) and USU was on the road.
Road Record: 4-4. Not too bad. Can improve in this area w/ games at SDSU, Nevada, UNM, and UNLV. Good road win at CSU.
League Championship or high finish in standings: I think this area will weighted highly.
In Summary: NCAA Selection is more than one area. If your lower in one (SOS), can you make up in other areas and mitigate it some. SDSU received an at-large last year with SOS around 100. Wichita State received automatic but would have received an at-large with SOS well in the 100's, so other factors taken in consideration.
