Official NCAA RPI

For softball that year, we were #12 in RPI, #7 in the polls and got a #14 seed

Maybe Scott added the 12 and the 7 and thought he was getting a good deal?

How in the world he didn't dress his colleagues down for that screw job is beyond me. Sorry Brother CajunJeb for offending your sensitivities by using screwjob with women's softball. I see how hat could be taken the wrong way & offensive to some.

UL also had the #1 OOC RPI in the Nation that year.

To my way of thinking, seeding should be weighted in favor of (or towards) OOC RPI.

In my mind it is a better indicator of the better team. You don't know those teams, you don't play them 6 times a year every year.

More so than in conference it is mono A mono, tendencies unknown. Best team wins.

So to get a national seed below even the overall RPI was an atrocity.

No that one is ok. You didn't mention doing inappropriate things and eighth graders.

We have moved up on the warrennolan.com site to #9 after winning last night vs. Tulane.

Anyone know what the main difference between RPI and NPI (Warren Nolan's ranking)? We were #1 for a while and are #2 currently.

This. Plus a team really has no control over the overal RPI of their conference. They can only play & beat the schedule of their conference. The OOC should have some kind of a weighted formula if it doesn't.

You'll have to email them to see what their formula is. Something they came up with I'm sure.

If anyone else was wondering, I got a response from Warren Nolan. He gives bonuses for margin of victory. Didn't give me any more detail, so there you have it.
