Penn State got a little bump from their upset over Indiana. PSU’s Pomeroy ranking moved up to 112 from 115 and their RPI went from 155 to 148. Note however, that even with a 148 RPI, the Nits are way behind where one would want to be to lay claim to one of the 113 [...]

RPI and Pomeroy Rankings (03/03/08)
Amazingly, there’s no change in either the RPI or the Pomeroy rankings today vs Thursday. PSU still sits at 159 in the RPI and 108 in Pomeroy’s system. It’s almost like Saturday’s game didn’t happen.

Effectively, Iowa, Michigan, and PSU are in a tie for eighth with only thousandths of points separating the three. # Team Pace Off Def Pwr Rank 1 [...]
Purdue climbs another spot in the power rankings
This week they slip past Michigan State into the third spot and number 22 nationally. Matt Painter has a stranglehold lock on the Big Ten coach of the year award and is making a huge bid for that honor nationally. Almost as amazingly, Illinois continues to maintain a strong power ranking climbing six spots nationally [...]
