Here is the RPI Futures Probabilities. This is based on 1000 simulations of the season. If asked, I would consider it better to be higher on this list than the regular RPI Futures. I would pay most attention to average RPI rank.

Avg RPI Rank order. Team - Conference, Average rank of the 1000 simulations (RPI Future Rank) % times finished in the Top 4, 16, 45, & 90.

1. Penn State - Big Ten, Avg RPI Rank - 2.037 (1) T4 - 92% T16 - 100% T45 - 100% T90 - 100%
2. Florida - SEC, Avg RPI Rank - 2.887 (2) T4 - 84% T16 - 100% T45 - 100% T90 - 100%
3. Minnesota - Big Ten, Avg RPI Rank - 3.589 (4) T4 - 67% T16 - 100% T45 - 100% T90 - 100%

Interesting to see that the RPI Future has the top three teams all losing one more match before the end of the season.

[Fight On!]

I understand why, but I don't like seeing USC falling 2 spots after a winning weekend. LOL. Damn UCLA for dropping out of the top 25

They also played the Arizona schools, which have a combined losing record... they'll be fine in a couple weeks.

[ay2013]

Based on this RPI futures I'd have seeds of:

1- Penn State
8- Washington
9- Oregon
16- USC

2- Stanford
7- Kentucky
10- Kansas
15- Iowa State

3- Nebraska
6- Texas
11- Wisconsin
14- Utah

4- Minnesota
5- Florida
12- Colorado
13- Michigan State

Stanford fans would love that.

Colorado really could have been sitting pretty if it had 2 or three fewer schools with losing records in the preseason.

the bracket notwithstanding, I have a hard time seeing how Stanford doesn't get #2, #3 at the very least, if it loses just 1 more match. That would be 10 top 25 wins...... whereas Minnesota and Nebraska, with an equal or worse overall record, would be sitting at 6 and 8, respectively. The committee would really have to play around with a non-conference SOS rationale to justify both Minny and Nebraska over Stanford, should this futures play out.

Not their seed, but the other seeded teams in their region

Isn't it the top 4? Minneosta still has one more loss according to RPI Futures, right? Okay, I'll bite:
* Penn State upset by Minnesota
* Stanford is shocked by USC
* Florida get a comfortable and Mizzou manages to pull off a surprising win in 5 during one of their two meetings.
* Minnesota fights hard but Illinois' block finally shuts Hart down.

Playing Arizona schools had nothing to do with - RPI Futures already factored in those games into the SOS.  The issue was Colorado was so darn good that they passed USC and they now are more likely to beat USC then just a week ago.

I was referring to doubletrojan who I think was referring to the CURRENT RPI changes, not the future changes.

Well yes but if Purdue just so happens to move 1 spot up you get to add two more top 25 wins to both Nebraska and Minnesota, and the Gophers still have Illinois and PSU on their schedule, which would give them 10 as well. If Minny takes out PSU (which I have serious belief they can at home) then they not only will sit higher than Stanford in RPI, they'll have the same amount of losses, and they will have beaten a team that took out the Cardinal twice. As for Nebraska, you have an argument there. Yeah, they've only had 1 true loss with Kelly Hunter back in full swing (UNI loss she wasn't quite there yet), but you can't tell me the committee is discussing that. That UNI loss sticks out like a sore thumb. The other two opening weekend are acceptable considering she was out...

If it was me, I'd go PSU first, Minny second (this with a win over PSU, 3rd if they don't), Stanford 2nd/3rd (depending on Minny), then Nebraska/Florida for 4&5. To me the order on those two doesn't matter because you can make a case for either and they'd be in the same bracket anyways. However I feel the committee will salivate over the 8400 fans in Devaney for 4 rounds of volleyball providing 6 games for higher $$ ticket value over the 3000 that MAY show up in Gainesville where admission is $10 or so...

Just my opinion =)
