RPI is funny in that if a youth team of 5 year olds played top 10 teams all 30 games during the season and lost by 200 every game without scoring a point, and the Golden State Warriors played UTSA every game and won all games by 60, RPI would have the five year olds ranked much higher than Steph Curry and crew
This got skipped over, and maybe it was meant as a joke, but I don't think it's true. RPI is wins first, it's just multiplied by opponents and opponents-opponents.

Regardless, RPI sucks - the only thing it has going for it is that it's old.

Youth team of five year olds would probably be dancing all the time. 3 coaches and two refs couldn't make those kids sit still. Plus they'd be willing to travel. On every possession. [/Hedburg voice]

RPI = (WP * 0.25) + (OWP * 0.50) + (OOWP * 0.25)

where WP is Winning Percentage, OWP is Opponents' Winning Percentage and OOWP is Opponents' Opponents' Winning Percentage.

RIP RPI

We can't create TOs and our zone is giving up too many offensive rebounds. Difficult to catch up if behind.

Oh we can create turnovers very easily...

The committee tell you it's all about quadrants.

The major conference team field will look like it is pulled directly from the RPI rankings, just like every year.
No, definitely not true. The RPI is generally the worst predictor of teams to get into the NCAA tournament.

Data to back that up?

Yeah dude has no idea what he's talking about. There's a reason why power conference teams with top 40 RPIs get in 99.9% of the time.

Went up 1 spot from 27 to 26 after yesterday. SOS at 7.

Would be really interesting if we finished 0-3. We may still be in based off all the other numbers that favor us.

Don't see us getting in at 7-11. Gotta win Wednesday and we're a lock.

Agreed. Get to 8 wins in conference and we're probably in, even if it's the play-in game.

Might rise 1 spot to 22 if we beat Bama but we would fall to somewhere around 31 if we lose on Saturday.
