Commonly known as 'RPI,' the Ratings Percentage Index is one of the rating systems whereby NCAA basketball teams are ranked. This system has been in use since 1981 to aid in selecting and seeding of the teams appearing in the 65-team men's playoffs (see also, March Madness). It has also been used to aid in the selection and seeding process for the 64-team women's tournament since its inception in 1982. The Index is comprised of: that team's winning percentage (25%); its opponents' winning percentage (50%); and, the winning percentage of those opponents' opponents.

ESPN and fan bases are the only people who care about RPI.

The committee members have said time and time again that they only use it when directly comparing two or three teams where most other factors are indistinguishable.

Remember, last year's #21 RPI was sitting at home for the dance last year. That tells you how much the committee thinks of it.

Don't let him see that Winthrop just earned the No. 25 spot in the coaches' poll for the first time in school history, either.

Nope, no they didn't


Where's Mike now? "Just because A&M beat Auburn by so much does that mean they're 20 points better than OSU?"

What a jackass - yes, in fact, it does mean that A&M was 20 points better than OSU (on two separate occasions), and it also means that A&M has won a road game this year (presason NIT does not count, Mike).

OSU faces Nebraska again on Thurs. Maybe the can only lose by 8 this time and make it respectable.

Humor tree???? What are you a 12 year old Mormon?? That has to be the lamest thing ever written. What the fuck is a humor tree? Must be something you and JamesOn Curry genetically engineered while jacking each other off and smoking weed.

I don't respond to such vulgarity... I'm so above your immature attempts at giving me a "humor tree."

Haha so now you can dish out vulgarity but you can't take it.

Typical school yard bully. Puffs up until you call em on it and they walk away with their tail between their legs.

If you want me to be a bully, then I'll just point out to everyone here that you're probably a little to slow to comprehend sarcasm, retard.

Oh, man - some of my greatest hits.

You seem to have forgotten the entire rant where I doubted that you've lost your virginity and feel bad that your daughter is already at a disadvantage with you as a "father."

No - I didn't make fun of your daughter - I made fun of you actually being capable of procreation. Well, pretty much all of GIA was cheering him for whatever reasons you assume... valid or otherwise.

I've never heard of anyone from Texas, OU, etc. dislike fanbases more than the squirrly, annoying 'pokes. And I've only lived in Texas for 5 years. You guys are like the nuisance team full of thugs (4 of whom had to be thrown off the team before the season began - and 1 of whom got a DUI last year... wait that was a "leader" of the squad). Just because you guys can't win away from GIA, you have to come in here and throw out "RPI" every week because of some miracle preseason your boys managed to throw up there. Against teams like Syracuse that also dropped out of the top 25. To act like all of us applauded Kellen Heard is idiotic, especially since we have video evidence of your entire arena cheering. Sorry that we all don't go on "poke-me-again-tboone.com" to see what your "clean, pretty, foo-foo" fans want Sean "I need a drink" Sutton to do with a player who has had an attitude problem for no less than 3 years.

There are some ignorant and asshole Aggie fans out there, and I'll be the first to admit it; but on the whole, I've been impressed by a lot of them who don't just come in here bitching about something, but actually have an actual point (unlike, for example, an illiterate douchebag like Can't Be Faded). I'm sorry I expressed a joking disbelief that anyone would actually allow you unprotected entry into a vagina, but I also expressed hope that your daughter would feel better because no child should suffer. Not even yours who must endure a lifetime of having the greatest self-aggrandizing douchebag of a father in the history of the world.

It's so good... I had to see it again.

Only in Upper Class gutters. Capt. Mike was referring to the gutter that encompasses the entire state of Oklahoma and its inhabitants.
