RPI

[jsheim]

I'm willing to wager we don't get in with what you propose.....it would have to be an awfully soft bubble and/or no auto-bids going to cinderellas

I think over 500 in a strong BE with 20+ wins gets a team in. Just hate that the RPI will be so high.....I'm all for a no-drama 11,12+   win season though .


I like that quote at the bottom of your posts...was that you or did someone say that...if so do you know who it was...curious:

"A Plan? Oh man, I hate plans. That means were gonna have to do stuff. Can't we just have a strategy......or a mission statement."

Talking about CURRENT RPI makes zero sense until the final week of the year.

PROJECTING year-end RPI always makes sense and should be done continually.

It was a quote from a character in the first season of a really funny web series called Red vs Blue based on the Halo video game for X-Box

But those projections are based on projections that are based on more projections that are based on even more projections that contemplate (to varying degrees) the current results (on which current RPI is calcualted). 

There are 348? D-I teams, each with about 20 games remaining?  That's more than 3,400 games... even if you can accurately predict the outcome of 50% of those, that's 1,700 games that are complete unknowns.  If someone can project RPI/rank for 350 teams with +/-10% accuracy, NASA is going to be asking to borrow their computer pretty soon.  Just hope the NSA finds you before the bookies in Vegas do.

That said, I'm all for projecting, monitoring, and trending RPI at this stage... that's fun numbers stuff we all love, but the others who are drawing conclusions and hypotheticals from the results at this point need to pump the brakes a little.

Except you are projecting year-end RPI based on current RPI.

I'm not anti-RPI - just anti-RPI until February.

No, not at all. I'm not projecting anything based on current RPI. You're simply making things up again.

Blue vs Red. No one says "Red vs Blue". It sounds stupid when you say it backwards.

A bit touchy? At least I'm not the only one you are condescending to.
