I've seen some people saying UGA has no chance to make the NCAA Tournament if they don't start getting wins against RPI Top 50 teams. While it would certainly help to get some of those, did you know that UGA's last tournament team in 14-15 season didn't have any RPI Top 50 wins? Their best wins that season were Ole Miss (No. 57) and Florida (No. 69).
Here is a quick comparison between this year's resume' vs. the 14-15 team
14-15
Best W's: Ole Miss (No. 57), Florida (No. 69)
Worst L's: Auburn (No. 132), Georgia Tech (No. 148)
Strength of Schedule: 42
RPI: 44
16-17
Best W's: Ole Miss (No. 48), UNC-Asheville (No. 80)
Worst L's: Oakland (No. 64), Marquette (No. 65)
Strength of Schedule: 21
RPI: 37
UGA still 6 games against teams currently in the RPI Top 50, and 6 games against teams between 51-100.
