Why? Respectfully, one has nothing to do with the other. There's no correlation between the two, whatsoever. Playing good defense, or playing atrocious offense, is not part of the RPI formula.

The Big 10 is actually the #1 rated RPI conference after last night (I believe), and there's one simple reason for it. They have the #1 ranked non-conference SOS. No sane person can even begin to fashion an argument that the Big 10 is even remotely close to as good as the Big East or ACC. Not this year.

I'd be interested to know why you think the Big 10 teams play better defense than UConn, Pitt, Louisville, etc?
