RPI Top 50 and 51-100

[H8IAST8]

We all know how close ISU is to the top 50 and Nebby to the top 100. The opposite is true for some of our Bubble competition.

St. Marys could easily go from 6 RPI 51-100 wins to 2.

90 Santa Clara
90 Santa Clara
98 Utah St
100 Harvard


That would only give them 3 RPI 100 wins. BYU twice and Creighton. No way they get in with that.

I think this is an important lesson in the fact that RPI really is intended to be used as an end-of-season metric only. A lot can change still and all that matters is the end snapshot that the committee will see.

I agree, the problem i have is the value of a RPi 49 win is exponetially better than the value of a RPI 51 win. Since the Committee will see X wins vs RPI top 50 X wins vs. RPI 100. Sure they will be able to see the wins vs RPI 51, but the inital comparison with another bubble team will not show that.

Absolutely, this might be reason #27 on a long list of "Why the RPI is outdated".

But the human element of the committee can address that however they like, just like any other data set.

Hopefully one day the RPI will fall into the abyss of history along with the BCS, professional boxing's governing policy and interleague baseball.

Even with those four "quality wins" the discussion about St. Mary's should last this long:

Committee member: "St. Mary's?"

pregnant pause...

Committee member: "Okay, next.

St Marys would be in with an At-Large bid...

Utah St Drops out of the RPI 100 down to 104 taking an RPI100 win away from St. Marys

 

[H8IAST8]

I think if we win our next 2 we improve our rpi to 0.5679 which would be around 60-65

That would be a 10+ improvement. Seems a little steep for wins over rippy 100+ teams. If we gain 5 spots I would be thrilled.

Santa Clara drops to 102. St marys went from 6 rpi 100 wins to 3 in 24 hours

I'm starting to think that'd be enough.

Well we have shown we can play with anyone so why are we limited to the thinking of win one or two in the BTT? Why are we are we not thinking win the whole damn thing and remove all doubt? Just sayin

ISU moves to 47 in the RPI

Oregon may drop out of the top 50 taking 2 RPI top 50 wins away from Cal and Colorado. Oregon is down 10 to a bad Utah team

 

[H8IAST8]

USC falls out of the RPI 100. This will take 2 RPI 100 wins away from Cal, and 1 from Colorado, 1 from Minnesota, 1 from San Diego St, 1 from Illinois
