Thought about that too, but wouldn't a bad conference bring down their RPI as well?

Yes, but that does not necessarily translate to a negative effect on our RPI. A solid record in a bad conference will yield solid dividends for our RPI ... as it directly affects the OWP (2/3 of the SOS). While a team with a low RPI ranking will not help the selection criteria that is Record vs. Top 25/50/75/100 RPI ... how it effects the contribution to your actual RPI is a different matter.

As for BYU ... their OWP contribution to our RPI is .5000 (4-4 record) with a weight of four games. That does not really hurt us. But I want to see them sweep Omaha and not drop a game to Utah Tech.

As for Rice, their OWP contribution (50%) is presently .4000 (4-6) with plenty of softer schedule remaining to bring that up. Their OOWP contribution (25%) is very strong at this time, but will drop as they work their way into conference play.
