Which tells you how goofy the RPI is. Or/and it tell you how close 5 through 18 is and how eliminating Saturday's results from the evaluation will yield some material differences in the top 20.

And finally, Michigan vs. Michigan State: If Michigan wins: 13. Michigan 14. Michigan State 15. San Diego 16. Kentucky If Michigan State wins: 11. Michigan State 12. Missouri 13. UCLA (or Washington) 14. San Diego 15. Kentucky 16. West Virginia 17. Utah 18. Michigan West Virginia? They did just land a big transfer?

Some conclusions - if this Friday/Saturday RPI hold water:
Texas benefits greatly. They will finish 4th in RPI as long as Minnesota wins one game this week. Eliminate Saturday and they will finish either 2nd or 3rd. I think that would be huge for them hosting.
That Michigan State match is huge for Michigan. They lose that and Utah wins both of their matches - then Utah would pass them in the RPI before Michigan plays on Saturday. Utah would be a serious contender for a seed.
Kansas will finish #6 if they beat Baylor (a fairly big if) - w/o Saturday then they are destined for a #10 RPI.
North Carolina by getting to play early has a chance to jump up to #5 or #6 despite most likely finishing the season around #10 or #11.
Creighton misses out on winning the Big East and upping their RPI standing.
Florida will look better in RPI then where they finish.
UCLA may max out at #7 before Saturday - they could use that next win against USC so they can get to #5 in RPI.

Valley has got to love Wichita in the Top 25.
UNLV, Colorado St. and Illinois fighting for two spots, IMO.

I actually think UNLV is out. I just don't see how you can take a close look at their profile and put them in above others. But I could be way off, their RPI is really high and they are a much needed SoCal drive-in team.
