RPI Madness?
Posted: Sun Jan 08, 2006 6:19 pm
Recent discusson on some of the boards about RPI rankings and the validity of the rankings provided by various services caused me to develop a composite RPI for our MAC teams, based on the RPI's from four different websites.
Each site had different numbers for our MAC teams to varying degrees. Buffalo came out on top in three of the four RPI rankings I reviewed with Akron holding the top spot in the other.
Unfortunately, I expect that our teams' RPIs will continue to fall now that we are into conference play. Right now we only have three teams in the Top 65. I'm afraid we are setting up for another one-bid season unless Laing Kennedy can use his powers of persuasion on the NCAA selection committee.
Anyway, here is the link to our story: RPI Madness.
