If eight-ish matches of a regular season is enough to truly get a measure of a season, then we can take the NCAA’s freshly debuted women’s soccer RPI seriously. While I don’t know if it is or is not enough to truly give us quality data information, I think we can safely say that if you look at the entire league, the RPI at this point does tell us a lot about how the Big East is shaking out. More specifically, it can tell us what is and is not a likely chance for Marquette to pick up points in the league standings as Big East play gets started on Thursday afternoon.
