HUGE SNAFU...RPI Difference Maker

[Cambridge]

kenpom.typepad.com/

According to Pomeroy, everyone has been calculating the RPI incorrectly this year. The new home-away weighting DOES NOT apply to the SOS portion of the equation as was thought by himself, ESPN and others. Rather, as Andy Katz discovered after conversations with members of the committee, it only applies to the teams own wins and losses...

Hence our new RPI of...wait for it:

68

I can't believe this. What a huge mistake and costly mistake. I knew their was something wrong about our RPI calculations this year.

[Cambridge]

Just for the record, our "old" RPI (the one used last year) would be 57...

[HoyaAlbany]

There are 8 teams below us already in; barring othe upsets, that means 23 teams above us would get the autpmatic bids. Add 34 at large teams, that brings us to 57 as the "magic " spot. I know that is just theoretical, but a win tonight against UConn would push us up close to where we would need to be.

Can one of our resident "math whiz"s (Cambridge / SF / anyone else) run the math of what we would be at if we were to somehow beat UConn tonight?

Thanks in advance.

That's amazing.

That's probably why the weighting is so high. It's logically idiotic -- it values your team based on home and away, but not your opponents. But I think they upped the weighting because of that.

Our RPI jumps 30 spaces, Pitt and WVU are, for the moment, Top 50 RPI wins, and Providence and Oral Roberts stop being "bad" losses as they become Top 100 losses.

[Cambridge]

Currently, there are 8 teams outside of the top 65 RPI teams that have securred autobids....

That means 57 is the magic number. Get as close as possible to that number...Come on Hoyas.
