      Not exactly. If we beat Gonzaga and then lost our first WCC tourney game, I think we'd get left out.

        I'd say no. Even if the beat Gonzaga on Saturday, then lose in the first round of the WCC tourney, I'd guess they would be out.

            Not sure if I'm the "Pel" in question, but here's the latest from rpiforecast.com:

            Final record Expected RPI Probability Possibilities
            24-8 21.4 2.32% Win out
            23-9 26.5 18.58% Beat Gonzaga in regular season, lose in tourney final; Lose to Gonzaga, win tournament
            22-9 42.2 3.91% Beat Gonzaga in regular season, lose in tourney 2nd round
            21-9 55.5 2.65% Beat Gonzaga in regular season, lose in tourney 1st round
            22-10 34.9 33.79% Lose to Gonzaga in regular season, lose in tourney final
            21-10 51.0 22.92% Lose to Gonzaga in regular season, lose in tourney 2nd round
            20-10 65.1 15.82% Lose to Gonzaga in regular season, lose in tourney 1st round
            Also, lists the probability of BYU earning the autobid at 15.35% - about the same probability assigned for winning at Gonzaga tomorrow.

            So I'm saying there's a chance.

              The most likely outcome gets BYU to an RPI of 35. If we get to the final, then I wager we are in.

                            Updated to remove "lose to Gonzaga in regular season" possibilities. Expected RPI and Probability percentages not current, but could be instructive:

                            24-8 21.2 2.09% Win out
                            23-9 26.4 17.60% Beat Gonzaga in regular season, lose in tourney final; Expected RPI and Probability percentage includes prior "Lose to Gonzaga, win tournament" possibility
                            22-9 42.4 3.82% Beat Gonzaga in regular season, lose in tourney 2nd round
                            21-9 55.1 2.66% Beat Gonzaga in regular season, lose in tourney 1st round

                            • So with BYU and Purdue both squarely on the bubble, who should BYU fans be pulling for in today's Ohio State-Purdue game?

                                Purdue needs to lose at this point. Obviously if we had beaten them we would be pulling for the win and would probably not be on the bubble.
