RPI is a joke, especially this time of the year
I agree. Just interested in how it moves throughout conference play.
If Iowa's resume' ever gets bubbly (which is unlikely), RPI will be important.
I thought I read the committee also uses KenPom, Sagarin, etc, along with RPI.
RPI is supposedly still the main one but others are used. I just don't get it but maybe they think KenPom is bogus like PC

Any advanced stats are way better than the RPI. Such a generic formula.
You just said KenPom's AdjD was bogus and AdjD and AdjO are the biggest weighted factors in his rankings
I also thought we were talking about individual defensive stats. I forgot which part of Iowas team you were ripping in that thread.
Let's track them all then. As of the morning 01/04/17:
KenPom: 75
Sagarin: 76
RPI: 145
I said our AdjD hasn't improved really at all while you say our defense has been improving which you said it goes to show it's even a more bogus stat than you originally thought.
I said "if". Since you wouldn't answer Deans question earlier about what it was after the Omaha game, I assume it has improved. But "if" it hasn't, it means his stat is pretty bad. Either way, defensive stats have a lot of randomness to them that can't be calculated. With individual team stats, it is way worse.
I doubt you were calling KenPom bogus the last few years when it had us ranked very well
I'm still not. For all I know, he has the best defensive stats out there. That's like being the tallest midget.
Have you ever played basketball? Sometimes you're in the zone and sometimes you're not. Sometimes when you're in the zone it's because the opponents defense is bad, and sometimes when you're in the zone, it doesn't matter what the defense does because they can't stop you.You're the only person I've heard say KenPom's AdjD is bogus or flawed. Why do you think team defensive stats are inaccurate?

I think of our late season during Marble's senior year. Our defense played worse but the opponents shooting was off the charts ridiculous like 5 games in a row. Some of it was on us and some of it was random luck. The defensive stats would have showed it all on us.
