Those 3 teams are all very closely bunched in RPI (0.001 max difference) which is why it was possible to drop past all 3.
I thought that it was gracious of UVA to schedule Quinnipiac. It's unfortunate that it creates a disadvantage for them.CU77 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 18, 2022 6:34 pmThose 3 teams are all very closely bunched in RPI (0.001 max difference) which is why it was possible to drop past all 3.
A win over Cuse should be a small positive, Lafayette an RPI drop similar to Q, down 0.010, UVa currently ~0.035 above #11, so should remain in top 10.
Back in that infamous 2019 campaign, Cornell's RPI took a significant hit from scheduling a game with 1st year St. Bonaventure. Of course, even then they still had a higher RPI than JH...not that it mattered. But I remember at the time people on these forums pointing to Cornell's "weak" SOS, predicated in no small part on this one game.faircornell wrote: ↑Mon Apr 18, 2022 6:55 pm

rpi is simply 25% your record, 50% opponents' % record, and 25% opp' opp' % record. subtract your own game with opponents when tabulating opp' record.1moreuvafan wrote: ↑Tue Apr 19, 2022 12:05 pm I'm not sure of all this. but there was a time that the RPI calculation accounted for scheduling weak teams, and the negative effect that just playing them had on better teams.
I believe that the SOS metric for a team was only used for its top 10 opponents. (exactly how they defined that I don't know)
It seems like they dropped that point. The problem is that the lower ranked teams benefit (usually) by playing better team, and they did not want to discourage top teams from playing them.
Someone here must know more about RPI than I do; so help us out please.

HGK2, masondixonlax - no ranking for Army
I'm OK with ranking them below 16, but not ranking them seems like a mistake. In fairness, I did not watch the game.
How do we handle ranking when a ranker leaves a team off the list, but does not rank 20 teams?

Three convincing top 10 wins in a row will do that. (although they did not jump Virginia)Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Mon Apr 25, 2022 12:38 pm Brown climbed over Jacksonville, Ohio State, Yale and Virginia this week….
