Texas saw their Adjusted RPI increase slightly from .6879 to .6886, despite losing 2/3 to Missouri this weekend. Tennessee saw their Adjusted RPI vault from .6622 to .6790 by splitting two games with Georgia and sweeping three games from Auburn. There are not many RPI unfriendly series for SEC members, but 16-21 Ole Miss is one of them. Playing this series hurt Florida.
Meanwhile, you continue to have many schools within striking range of the Cajuns that play in the elite conferences and will be benefiting from the dual RPI bonus (both base formula bias and bonus bias) in the coming weeks.
And for those that keep asking, LSU's Adjusted RPI increased from .6340 to .6374 by going 1-2 vs. Alabama and 1-0 vs. Nicholls State. If LSU had not played the Nicholls State game, the RPI increase would have been more.

Adjusted RPI: .6830
As I stated in a prior post, I think the Cajuns' current Adjusted RPI at .6830 will be the zenith for the 2012 season.

RPI Bonuses
Total RPI bonus increased this week as Kentucky and Northwestern moved into the RPI Top 50 (.0195 from .0156). Also, as I projected, the Cajuns earned three RPI bonus wins this weekend with the sweep of South Alabama. The Cajuns now have 13 RPI bonus wins, but seven of those bonus wins have come from teams with Base RPIs between 41 and 50 (on the verge of losing those bonuses).
RPI Bonuses:
(Base RPI Rank) Team Bonus
#3 Arizona State .0026
#22 Michigan .0026
#33 Mississippi State .0013
#35 Georgia Tech .0026
#36 Tulsa .0013 (fell from Top 25 tier last week)
#41 Troy .0026
