To be fair, RPI means absolutely nothing after 3 games. Afterall, Temple is #3 RPI now, and Nova is #99. Wait until after the OOC and you'll have a better picture.

The actual RPI right now flips around so much it's not funny. I mean right now, Ole Miss is #1 in RPI. They've played 3 games and are 3-0. They beat Louisiana, Eastern Kentucky, and Georgia State. That should tell you all you need to know about the actual RPI right now.

If winning % is far more important, then we need to dump the Gavitt Games for a Big East - MEAC challenge pronto.

Bottom line, AAC and Big East doing well IMO like I've said is great for college basketball. I don't want to just have the P5.
I mostly agree with this sentiment from a macro level. It is probably better, on a whole, to limit the power and influence (in college hoops) of the P5 conferences. If those 5 leagues at any point start to completely dominate the college hoops landscape, it gives them all the more reason to take their ball and just play among themselves.
On the micro level though, I want X to be the premier program in OH; for Creighton to be one of the only two powers (along with Kansas) in the Great Plains; for PC to own the NE region; for VU to never battle Temple for recruits or the Philly limelight; etc. Bottom line these individual programs are rivals and you never root for rivals to be successful if it could hurt your own program in some way.
So far it is very safe to say that the BE schools (other than maybe G'town) mostly have benefited from realignment and the AAC schools mostly have not. After Calhoun's BE players all graduated, UConn has been a shell of it's former self; Memphis is down; USF is almost non-existent; Temple is down; Cincy may be the same but their March success has been unremarkable at best. SMU has been decent but you wonder about long term after losing a HOF coach.
On the flip side, PC, SHU, even SJU have experienced resurgences; Nova has taken off and become a national power; recruiting at Creighton and X have soared; bids are up, etc. In short, we are thriving. The AAC is hoping that WSU can elevate the league back up to respectability. They really needed to do something so I applaud them being aggressive. I guess we'll all see...

the winning % is more important than the RPI right now.
SOS is great if you actually win. But like we're seeing with the A10, if you lose a lot of the games, you're going to struggle. I mean- A10 right now in RPI forecast(I know still early) projected to have the #3 OOC SOS, but RPI is #10.
