This might have meant something 10 years ago but now the committee only cares about top 25 or top 50 wins (I can't even remember at this point). I think being in a conference w/ Cincy this year might be more valuable than being in a conference with 9 schools ranked 50-100.
For the record I think that is extremely flawed and a shame the Selection Committee decided to go down that path, but that's the way it has seemed to be recently.

5 Missouri Valley Conf 0.5553
6 Mountain West Conf 0.5538
7 Big Ten Conference 0.5509
...the MVC is once again barely holding their RPI lead.
