The committee uses RPI, strength of schedule, home/away record, conference finish, record v. RPI top 50, record v. RPI top 100, and a few other things to evaluate teams. Ole Miss, before their bad showing against Mississippi State last weekend, had more top 50 wins, more top 100 wins, were 2nd in the SEC, and were 11-5 on the road. I think Virginia will be in the hosting discussion, and could be a host site in this week's projections, but the fact is 21 of their 37 wins are against teams outside the RPI top 100. They have a strong RPI and look to finish in the top 4 in the ACC, but their strength of schedule is really dragging down their resume. Outside of their ACC performance, there just isn't much to their resume. The rankings have nothing to do with the regional projections.
