So we are behind three teams we won series from and two of them on the road. Makes zero sense.

And behind Florida who may not even make the SEC tourney.

Yes, RPI should carry less weight and, or be re-worked.

This is an incredibly strange year for RPI. I can never remember us with this good of SEC record and this bad of RPI.

Especially with our wins over ranked teams.

And we're ahead of multiple teams that won series over us. That's just one big circle of an argument that doesn't get you very far.

I can think of Penn(which is not a SEC school playing a SEC schedule) and Bama on the road.

And we have series wins over four teams ranked above us (3 on the road) and Florida has a losing SEC record.

Makes zero sense.

And I can not remember when we had a 14-10 SEC record and an RPI this bad. Just seems strange this year.

And I am not including a road win at tu and a home win against DBU.

And I am too lazy to look it up but I would wager we have more wins against teams with better rpis than us than any other team.

I posted this somewhere else earlier but it appears that RPI doesn't compensate for teams that really improve during the season. We had the misfortune of not playing well against weak competition early and then playing much much better when the schedule got tougher.
It is what it is.

Non-conference RPI

Georgia 4
Vanderbilt 6
Florida 9
Tennessee 12
Missouri 22
Auburn 26
Louisiana State 30
Mississippi 50
Texas A&M 67
Alabama 68
Arkansas 82
Kentucky 83
South Carolina 117
Mississippi State 171

A&M and Arkansas have good SEC records but struggling in RPI.

As we all know, RPI has all kinds of mathematical equations and analytics. But there's no way in my mind a single loss amongst 45 games should cause a plummet like we just had. No way that single game should cause metrics to shift to such a massive degree. Add to it that this is baseball where losses to inferior opponents is a norm and I can only conclude that RPIs are bunk.

I conclude that everyone is just incredibly bunched. Tiny margins cause huge drops in ranking. If we can get a sweep, big if, we could see a big jump with others around us losing just one game. I still have hope.

Anyone know how far Alabama dropped after one loss to SC? How much after getting swept?

Incarnate word was leading TCU which would help them help us, and Vanderbilt losing would help/hurt us at the same time but both teams tied it.

Looking ahead to this weekend, there's a chance for an RPI booster when Santa Clara plays a series at #27 Gonzaga. Currently they are ranked #111 in RPI, however before they got swept by Portland this past weekend they were sitting just inside the top 100 (which is likely a large factor for our dramatic fall after losing one to SCar).

If they can win a game or two this weekend, that should really boost our ranking. As it will give us another 2 wins against Q2 opponents (probably jumping us to mid teens).

That's assuming they jump back in the top 100 of course.

Yep, just doesn't make sense. We play and win last Tuesday and drop 3 spots. We sit idle this Tuesday and move up four spots. Go figure.

speaking of TCU...

the Frogs (at RPI #34) are only 8-12 vs. the top 50...and just 12-17 vs. the top 100.

TCU looks like a very weak 2-seed. OU at RPI #31 has better metrics....and won the head-to-head series.

it could be the Sooners at BBP for regional play

The teams from 5-35 seem incredibly tightly bunched as the slightest thing causes a wild swing this year

Top 100 or not doesn't factor into RPI. It shows up on the Nitty Gritty chart that the committee looks at, but is not in the RPI formula. It's better for us that Santa Clara wins, but whether they are 99, 100, or 101 is not relevant to RPI.

Because your opponent's winning percentage, and your opponent's opponent's winning percentage, factor in to RPI.

1. Division I winning percentage (25%)
2. Opponent's Division I winning percentage (50%)
3. Opponents' opponents' Division I winning percentage (25%)

I think everybody needs to mentally separate our rpi from our rpi "rank".

Rpi is a % and is calculated how twk outlined above. Notice 75% of it is opponent based.

Rpi rank is simply organizing every d1 team from highest rpi to lowest.

Since rpi is a # somewhere between 0 and 1, small changes can have big affects on the rank if there's a group bunched together. I think what we're seeing is 10-30 are all right around the same rpi.

I stand corrected. I think I may be confusing it with Net in Basketball.

I understand how it works, so saying it doesn't make sense was a poor choice of words. The wild swings this late in the season though don't seem to be the norm. Obviously a lot of teams bunched tightly together, so a sweep of State is going to be critical to keep us from falling rather sharply.

Wofford beats a team with an RPi of 166 and moves ahead of us. So weird

I'm interested in how Maryland is so high. SOS of 113, a worse record against Q4 teams, etc. RPi needs an overhaul

They're 38-10. That's the 4th best win % in the country. That's a big part of "how."
