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.
RPI is just some dumbass stat that someone came up with. Doesn't mean anything.
more confusing than bcs.
yeah, could you imagine if we actually used the RPI to determine the champion?
Don't let Capt. Mike see this thread
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.
...but he said Winthrop was not a good team?
CaptMike - "OSU isn't ranked, so rankings don't mean anything"
Winthrop is #24 in the AP and #22 in the Coaches...
OSU can win its first conf road game of the season tonight!!!!!GO POKES!!!!!LOL LMAO ROFL
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.
Goodness.. someone has an inferiority complex.
Act like you been there.
Oh wait, you haven't.
Winthrop is a lot better than oklahoma state...weird.
Pwn3d.
This is what people do on message boards, they at each other. "Act like you've been there before"????? Are you now head coach of this board?I was unaware of the unwritten rules of internet posting.
WHAT?? What are you - 12?
No Coach it was an attempt at humor. It went over your head. I'm sorry sir.
Sorry, my humor tree doesn't reach down into the gutter.
Superiority complex to the max. "Act like you've been there" is all you ever say. Act like your team doesn't suck... oh, wait you already do.
and whats up with his le of, "better than you?" give me a break, i could think of a few other things to put there...
Humor tree???? What are you a 12 year old Mormon?? That has to be the lamest thing ever written. What the is a humor tree? Must be something you and JamesOn Curry genetically engineered while jacking each other off and smoking weed.
I wouldn't expect someone with your lack of maturity to understand. I use big concepts instead of foul language. Sorry, wouldn't expect you to understand that, either.
