Final conference RPI rankings

The top ten were:
ACC
Big 12
Big East
Big Ten
SEC
Pac-12
American
Atl 10
WCC
Mtn West

Not much of note there. The ACC replaced the Big 12 at the top and there was some shuffling among the other big boys. The Pac-12 dropped from third to sixth. The American replaced the Atlantic 10 as the best of the rest. The WCC moved up five spots to 9th from 14th, presumably in part because of Gonzaga's great year. Interestingly, CUSA, to which several of our SBC brethren bolted, moved down from 21st to 23rd. The poor MEAC maintained their spot on the bottom of the list.

The Sun Belt had a very good year. We moved from 17th to 13th, so it was a significantly tougher place to play this year than last. That is a good trend. It would be very nice to climb into the top ten one of these days.
