SMU/Tulsa situation in the American is also screwing us.

Also, SMU is an interesting example of being benefited by the limitations of the RPI, in the exact opposite way that BYU is being screwed by the limitations of RPI. SMU's wins for the season include Temple (x2, RPI 40---and a team that I've already argued shouldn't be in before BYU), Tulsa (RPI 37), then a bunch of lower-RPI teams (69, 79, 89, 92 [x2], 94, 98), one against an RPI 141 team and an RPI 180 team, then a bunch in the RPI 200-300. Tulsa is up 1/2 game on them in conference, and they play each other March 8.

However, SMU's RPI is somehow 20, while their BPI is 26 (BYU's BPI is 25). A bit odd that SMU's RPI is so much higher than BYU, when their resume and other metric show them performing just below BYU's level.

Personally, I don't think either team has a tourney resume, so I hope that one team emerges as a clear conference champion and take the autobid for the league.
