Unranked Wichita State beat #9 East Carolina in the AAC Tournament today. ECU is one of Stanford’s competitors for the #8 seed.

By not playing, Stanford's RPI dropped 0.001 to 0.589, though our placement held steady at #16. I know both U$C and Oregon lost to non-conference foes we did not play, so that could be the origin of the point drop.
Oregon State dropped .002 I think, to 0.590 and is in a virtual tie with West Virginia one spot ahead of us. 
ECU is at 0.609 and #5. We won't catch them in RPI, but I know many are suspicious of the quality of the AAC so they could be in some danger.

My general suspicion is that even by winning out, Stanford won't rise above #11 in RPI. Teams within reach for us to pass include Oregon State, WVU, Texas AM, UCSB, and Tennessee.
So, the question will remain as to what the committee thinks of this measure - or more likely whether they are willing to act in consideration of its well known flaws.
