Default RPI experts

Assuming we win at Air Force, where we are probably a small favorite (195 RPI), then win 3 games we clearly should (@ 223 Wyo, 192 TCU @ MC, and @237 CSU), what will that most likely do to our RPI (currently at 47)?

I'm excited for the opportunity to stretch out our current 3 game win streak, but what's the cost to our RPI of doing so against the bottom of the MWC?

Obviously losing one of these games would be a very bad thing. Even with our road stuggles, our worst "RPI loss" was to Boise St at 124. We should be favored in all these games, with a loss at Air Force the only one I see as a realistic possibility.

A small favorite at AF? You should be 6 point favorite at least there

I was talking relatively small. i.e. 6.

It won't improve much and may even fall. Likely it would stay about where it is. The next chance to really make an improvement in our rpi is the UNLV game. We have to win it.
