I found the quirk in my RPI formula and it works now.

BYU is #36 with RPI .6025

If we finish out the regular season 6-3, and win two and lose last one in MWC tourney, we should finish with RPI close to .6073. RPI's drop slightly after the NCAA tourney since everyone loses their last game, but not too significantly.

.6073 would rank us

right now: #33
2005: #17
2005: #21

I'm thinking if we finish 8-4, we are a lock for tourney.

By the way, my 8-4 for the rest of the season includes three road losses in the MWC, most likely Utah is one of them.

If we lose to Utah, our RPI will fall to .5889 and #44, but there is no reason to panic.
