We are currently sitting at 17 in the RPI and in reaching distance of a handful of spots in front of us.

To maximize our RPI gain, here are all of the games that impact our metrics. Teams we need to root for are underlined and in bold
  • Oakland vs Wright State - A Wright State win gives us 1.7 points. A loss drops us 3.3
  • Oklahoma vs Vanderbilt- There's really no outcome here that changes anything with us. We drop a point regardless of outcome. OU win drops us 1.7. Vandy win drops us 1.8. However, an OU win would drop Florida by 3.3 points
  • Texas A&M vs Auburn- Auburn win will get us 1.5 points. A loss drops us 3.3
  • Dallas Baptist vs Jacksonville State- Jacksonville State win gets us 1.9. A loss drops us 2.8. Dallas Baptist will gain 16 points if they win and lose 33 with a loss, so definitely a game to keep an eye on
  • Tennessee vs Texas- a TN win gives them 32 points, a loss drops them 15 points. We need all of the teams we're on the host bubble with to lose
  • Old Dominion vs Southern Miss- USM win nets us .8 points, a loss loses us 2.4. USM is another bubble host that would help us if they lose
  • Jacksonville vs Austin Peay- a Jacksonville loss will drop FSU 3 points
  • Cal vs Georgia Tech- A Cal loss drops FSU 2.4 points, a win by them helps FSU by 3 points
  • Clemson vs NC State- a Clemson loss would drop FSU 3.8 points
  • Michigan vs UCLA- a loss would drop UCLA 35 points
  • Penn State vs USC- a USC loss drops UCLA 4.2 points - Their largest impact game today outside of their own matchup
  • Michigan State vs Oregon- Oregon losing would drop them 42 points
  • Houston vs TCU- TCU is another bubble host we need to root against

A lot of this is going to be for absolutely nothing, as a win tomorrow against Arkansas pretty much solidifies everything. But if you're bored at work on a Thursday and need to know who to pull for to help us out, there ya go
