Joe should be busy getting ready for his lab so let me.
RIP routes are limited to a maximum distance of 16 "layer 3" hops (i.e.
routers)... Basically your network could contain 26 routers but the max
route from one to another (a - z) could not hop thru more then 15 or RIP
would not see the route.. (think of it like the time to live exceeded).
OSPF on the other hand can see up to 255 hops
