[COLLEGE WOMEN] With less than two weeks before the 64-team NCAA Division I Women's Tournament is selected, the NCAA's latest RPI index put into focus how teams stand in the Division I women's ranks.

(Click here for the complete women's RPI and here for the 2010 NCAA Division I Tournament handbook.)

The RPI -- Ratings Percentage Index -- is the most important of the criteria the NCAA uses to determine the 64-team field for the NCAA Division I Women's Tournament. The RPI is a mathematical formula designed to objectively compare results and strength of schedule.

The hypothetical RPI 64 includes the top-ranked team from each of the 30 women's conferences that will receive automatic bids and the next 34 teams from among all other teams.

The ACC leads all conferences with nine teams in the RPI 64, while the Pac-10 has seven. The conference headed for potentially the biggest turnaround is the Big 12. It sent only two teams to the 2009 NCAA Tournament but has six teams in this week's RPI 64.

All at-large teams must have records of .500 or better, which puts Missouri, Penn State and Purdue in danger of missing despite their current rankings.

Penn State, winner of the last 12 Big Ten regular-season titles, has a record of 7-8-1 with three games to play.
