It is Conference Tournament time, so here is a brief look at all the tournaments other than the SBC which will directly affect our RPI, with links to tournament brackets:

Atlantic Sun: 8 team...

Yes and yes.

They played only 12 games against the Top 100. Louisiana played 18 Top 100 games in SBC play alone, 45 over all.

I see that Clemson [RPI 22] is 0-7 vs top 25, 11-4 vs RPI 26-50 and 26-15 vs RPI 1-100. They also have a bad loss [Below 150].
Also 5-5 in their last 10 and 4th in the ACC.
Nothing really...

A 9,10, 11 or 12 Seed would not hurt my feelings.

Thanks

Thanks. Thought there was a pay wall there.

I will be shocked if South Alabama is not in the tournament. Their RPI is 31. Hard to believe that even the softball committee would be able to find a way to exclude them.

Brian, KPI is an additional criteria for the committee to consider this year. I have not been able to find that ranking anywhere. Have you seen anything?

No mystery: The committee looks at the top 50 or so RPI teams, decides who they want to host and who they want to get at large bids, then plays with the criteria they use in such a way that they get...

Troy's RPI after last night is 53.

Their adjusted RPI of .57211 is exactly the same as their base RPI. They have no penalties or bonuses for non-conference scheduling or wins/losses. That is how...

Like the NET rating in Basketball, it will no doubt favor the Pampered 4 at the expense of the rest of us.
