If we pick up another unexpected road win all of a sudden RPI will love us again. Tech was going to hit our RPI win or lose. It's blind to individual wins, just gotta pick up a big road win.
I bet as we get closer to the TCU/KSU games if we keep playing well it will turn those to wins(Playing OU and TX twice plus KU one more time will really bump up our RPI).
I mean did anyone before the b12 conference season really expect us to win on the road at KU, OU, Texas, or OSU? Probably not, so it's not like these predictions, minus the TCU one and MAYBE minus the KSU one are all really that groundbreaking.
