RPI is a bit fickle, that's a pretty big jump. Great win, keep it up.

It is way to early to pay any attention to RPI. After about 10 games, the equation starts to balance out a little.

The RPI is very biased the first 4-5 games of the year. There simply is not enough data for the number to be meaningful or remotely accurate. By Mid-December, the RPI is somewhat meaningful. But, the statistic is fundamentally flawed and favors the "big" schools as they play each other (which boosts their RPI). You will see a team's RPI go up even with a loss because of the strength of the RPI score of the rest of the conference.
Also, I have observed that the selection committee uses the RPI selectively. They will use it to justify getting a 9th team in from the ACC or Big East but ignore it when excluding a team with a very high RPI from a mid-major.
In the end, the RPI does not make a hill of beans difference for Weber - only one team goes to the Dance from the Big Sky.
