Good example of why rpi should never be used in any sport.

Wolfpack baseball 22 - 1, ranked #1 in USA today, and top 5 all other ranking, going for sweep at Miami today.

Yet according to rpi, they are only 18th best team. If they defeat Miami today, they will probably drop in the rpi because Miami is currenlt #49 and may drop from quad 1 with a loss.

Teams rated ahead of State?

Oregon #10 @ 12 - 8
Coastal Carolina #12. 18 - 4 - 1, State curb stomped at their place
Texas #14 17 - 9
Texas Tech #1. 15 - 5

And before you start chiming about State weak non conference schedule

#17. Indiana State 18 - 2. 0 - 1. Quad 1, 12 - 1 quad 4

#18. NC State. 22 - 1. 3 - 0. Quad 1. 12 - 0. Quad 4.
