There were five games for RPI boostability last night for the Friars. Boston College taking down #1 Syracuse at the Carrier Dome gave PC a bit of a bump to 60 but that was short lived because 3 losses brought the number back to where it was going into last night’s action. Those overall results of last night’s games went 2-3 against PC. PC’s RPI is now at 62 (was 62).

A new portion of this daily post will include the 10 teams with the biggest impact (5 positive plus PC themseleves, 5 negative) on PC’s RPI. This value is via RPI Forecast. For an explanation of this value, click here.
