Princeton Tigers. Made it last year. Last best chance was 2015 prior to last year. On the bubble. I thought they deserved an invite that season but my opinion didn’t count in that selection room.

How much does the committee depend on the RPI compared with other factors?
The RPI is just one of many factors used by the committee. Each committee member must weigh each factor available and make his or her own decision regarding its importance. Clearly, the RPI will be more helpful to a committee member when evaluating a team out of out his/her region, especially if he/ she has never seen them play. If a committee member is evaluating two or more teams, a wide difference in RPI rank can be a factor. How “wide” is “wide”? A good rule of thumb is 20 or more ranking places, as well as the actual mathematical difference between RPI rankings.
Plenty of people actually watched Notre Dame lose to good teams.

i am going with what the committee says. lock, stock and barrel.
i used to think we had this debate because we cared that the most deserving teams got in. now, i think the debate mostly happens because peeps want their team to get in.
so i am with the committee. it's what the people and the coaches want.

Re: Toughest/Softest Lacrosse Schedule 2023?
“Deserved” is sometimes a matter of opinion. Make it next to impossible for them not to take you. That has always been my motto. I am still looking for something that says RPI is the only criteria for at large. I know the two are often in sync but that’s called serendipity….I thought Duke would be in and Harvard out last year.wgdsr wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 8:22 pmlol. tl;drTypical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 8:18 pmor non-conference schedule.wgdsr wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 8:08 pmi was asking snake. or pizza. the *selection room* is funny. win your conference. all other bets are off.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 8:01 pmPrinceton Tigers.

One Final Note
While it no doubt is clear from reading this document that the authors believe the RPI is an excellent tool for the Division I Men’s Lacrosse Committee, it also must be said that at no time has the NCAA staff or the committee ever desired to use the RPI as the sole factor in determining selection or seeding. There never will be a better way to select teams than the current committee process, no matter how many mathematicians, statisticians or others try to improve a computer rating system.

Re: Toughest/Softest Lacrosse Schedule 2023?
you and i are having 2 separate conversations. not once did i say anything about a team's rpi to be selected. what the committee did last year was say we are choosing the field and we don't care what the stated criteria is. the lacrosse world, by and large or at least those that matter (coaches), is good with that. it so happens fanlax is good with it, too.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 10:10 pmI know what this means: at no time has the NCAA staff or the committee ever desired to use the RPI as the sole factor in determining selection or seeding. #don’tbeonthebubblewgdsr wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 10:02 pmi don't even know what this means. doesn't matter. your own rpi isn't supposed to be used to select nc$$ lax, but sometimes or most times it is. that doesn't matter.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 9:54 pmByrnewgdsr wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 9:37 pmlmao, who wrote that, myers or a fanlax ivy fan?Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 9:11 pm

so i am good with it as well. for 2023+ selections, i am all about the committee. pinky swear.
Re: Toughest/Softest Lacrosse Schedule 2023?
Every single season some teams have an argument that they were snubbed by the committee. The incessant whining by those who felt ND and Duke were snubbed in 2022 is the worst complaining ever. When the old and new ACC/JHU were the beneficiaries of some past shaky selection committee decisions, the same people on this board told the fans of the snubbed teams to "get over it" and "win games" and "play a tougher schedule." Now the same apples to ND and Duke. There is an "argument" that ND or Duke deserved a bid over Harvard, but the snub was no worse than past snubs or the many past seeding injustices. Get over it. Play a tougher non-conference schedule and try winning some of those non-conference games. It's 2023.wgdsr wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 6:03 pmnotre dame beat duke twice. and they were #7. what were tosu's and rutgers' best wins?Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 5:58 pmLast year, Notre Dame deserved a bid beating Detroit, Michigan, Marquette, Duke , UNC and Syracuse.

Re: Toughest/Softest Lacrosse Schedule 2023?
You have a link to a quote or that’s what it “looked like”? #beatgoodteamsandyourchancesarebettetthanlosingtogoodteams.wgdsr wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 10:17 pmyou and i are having 2 separate conversations. not once did i say anything about a team's rpi to be selected. what the committee did last year was say we are choosing the field and we don't care what the stated criteria is. the lacrosse world, by and large or at least those that matter (coaches), is good with that. it so happens fanlax is good with it, too.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 10:10 pmI know what this means: at no time has the NCAA staff or the committee ever desired to use the RPI as the sole factor in determining selection or seeding. #don’tbeonthebubblewgdsr wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 10:02 pmi don't even know what this means. doesn't matter. your own rpi isn't supposed to be used to select nc$$ lax, but sometimes or most times it is. that doesn't matter.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 9:54 pmByrnewgdsr wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 9:37 pmlmao, who wrote that, myers or a fanlax ivy fan?Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 9:11 pm
One Final Note
While it no doubt is clear from reading this document that the authors believe the RPI is an excellent tool for the Division I Men’s Lacrosse Committee, it also must be said that at no time has the NCAA staff or the committee ever desired to use the RPI as the sole factor in determining selection or seeding. There never will be a better way to select teams than the current committee process, no matter how many mathematicians, statisticians or others try to improve a computer rating system.

what matters is 5? men and women in a room. they will come out with 8 names. just be one of those 8 names if you can't win your conference. #gocommittee
