You do realize there is no human intervention to the RPI rankings right? The RPI is all about win percentages.

Several teams with better win percentages are ranked below these three teams, some well below.

I hate the RPI.... and on top of that our's isn't very good.

Time to stop scheduling cupcakes... does nothing.

Your own win percentage is only 25% of the RPI, 50% of it is your opponents win percentage, and the last 25% is your opponents opponents win percentage.

Stupid metric that doesnt take into account a lot of factors, like score.

We will end up a 6 seed if we beat Illinois and win 1 in the BTT...so who really cares. Hearing Iowa called on Selection Sunday will force me to crack a beer and possibly make me cry..this has been a long time coming. RPI can suck a fat one

I'm guessing these next 2 games will improve our RPI even if we lose them both. That's how the dumb RPI works.

No, at this point in the season our own win percentage moves the rank more than anything. The other 2 don't move the rank as much since the numbers are large.

Whoever thought how your opponents opponents do should be worth 25% of your ranking must be pretty smart.

It does slightly balance out those that schedule games against crappy teams that end up with winning records because they play an easy schedule. Not much though.

Hawks RPI should be better but honestly compared to last year's 70+ deal, were sitting ok.
Not sure why y'all are complaining.

Because nothing is ever good enough for some people.

Wrong.

It's because Iowa is Top 15-25 is basically every other poll, but the RPI has us at 39, which goes to show how big a pile of crap it is.

Yeah, I was kidding.
