What are we looking at for RPI now with the Uconn win?
Also, if we win out and finish 11-7 what would our projected RPI be?

Seeing one website is projecting around 50 now after the game. That's a really big move as we were around 65 or so before the game. No idea on the projected RPI's for the rest of the season.
We are now 30 on Sagarin, 33 on Pomeroy, but Pomeroy has not yet updated. Probably a late night for Ken.
54 according to ESPN DailyRPI
51 according to Warren Nolan.

Still never understood how all these RPI's are used by the Selection Committee. There are about a dozen out there, and are done a bit differently.
Which RPI does the Committee put most weight on? Or is that a top secret type thing that they change each year?

It's my understanding that the Committee is the only one that knows a team's true RPI number because they have their own formula.
All of these RPI websites are approximations, trying to guess at the real formula.
Willie, Sagarin and Pomeroy are efficiency ratings, not RPI calculations. They take into account victory margin, which RPI does not. And yes, the committee looks at all of the ratings, not just RPI.
