Just heard Pat Casey OSU coach (currently ranked #1) on Sirius XM complain how last year when OSU had an RPI of 46 they didn't make it despite being tied 3rd in the PAC12 to Arizona, who got to the NCAA championship finals. They probably were punished because Utah with an RPI 90 got the automatic qualifier for ending up 1st in the PAC12 despite being only 26-29 overall.

That's what ND has to do and it would probably mean a higher RPI ACC team (probably NC State RPI 45) would get screwed, like OSU last year. From the ACC North Carolina, Clemson, Louisville, Wake Forest & Virginia-all top 10 RPI-are locks. FSU at 27 has work to do. Georgia Tech at 64 and Miami at 68 have RPIs 20 points better than ND and they probably won't make it unless they win the ACC tourney.
