Big Ten Conference RPI Rankings (4/07/08)

Michigan held onto the best RPI ranking within the conference despite slipping 19 places from 60 to 70 even though they went 3-1 over the weekend. The cause for the drop was clearly Penn State’s poor record coming into the weekend.

Conversely, Penn State benefited from Michigan’s strong record and jumped 29 spots to 180 despite only winning one of the four games from Michigan.
