The A10 was pretty horrible this year. They've historically been a pretty close to the #7 conference behind the top 6, sometimes even beating out one of the Big 6 in their down years. After the Big East/AAC split, A10 was still typically #7 or #8. This year, the MVC and MW both beat A10 - which is fine. A10 is on their level. But the MAC also beat the A10 in RPI, and that shouldn't happen anymore.
The tiers should look like this:
Tier 1: Big 12, Big Ten, ACC, Big East, SEC, PAC 12
Tier 2: AAC, A10, MWC, MVC
Tier 3: MAC, WCC, Colonial, CUSA
Tier 4: Everything else
A10 shouldn't ever finish with an RPI lower than 10, and should be 7 or higher most of the time.
