Re: Yes, ESPN does make up rankings...
Why not, RPI is based 75% on SOS which is arbitrarily estimated based on W-L, but not on how the games were played. There is a lot more that should be considered in an index of ranking. I just think RPI is so biased to what people actually think about teams that doing the eye test would be a very similar measure.
They eye test?
Lets say there are up to 78 teams who you look at to make the tournament. How are you going to watch all the games that those teams play to decide who looks best to you.
