Thanks to a thread started by grantwolf, I was able to graph State’s RPI ranking starting in early December. Obviously the important thing is where you finish, not where you start:
I’ll try to update the graph linked here though this blog entry won’t move to the top when I do.
The key thing that I wanted to point out is that with the BC win, State’s ranking has moved out of the “Bubble Range” and into the “Lock” range. In case you’ve forgotten, I have already pointed out the correlations between RPI ranking and the infamous Bubble. Based on recent history, here’s a summary of what has happened for those teams ranked lower than #35:
