All of the games in the Junkanoo Jam are considered regular season game and therefore will count towards RPI. It is an "early" season tournament not an exhibition. This is not the same thing as the bulldogs did last year in the Bahamas.

Flip side of the RPI is that we'll be at our youngest and least experienced playing together. Still, it's gotta be a plus for recruiting.
I'm thinking (maybe not too clearly) part of a healthy rebuilding should include a season when the top teams consider scheduling us to be a "sure" win, but nonetheless a game which will legitimately test their players. When we force top 10 teams to play smart and not just depend on physical mismatches or a deeper bench to earn their win, we'll know we've nearly arrived.
