Rating Percentage Index (RPI)

Just googled it......Sounds like the voodoo math I use for some of my calculations at work!

So Brian.. what does more for our RPI? A WKU win or a ULM win?

I'm not Brian, nor am I a mathematician. But your opponents' winning percentage is 50% of the formula. A win counts 7 in this department for ULM and 3 for WKU.

So specifically for our RPI, a ULM win is better. For our resume? A WKU win could help them stay in the top 100 (or get in the top 100).

I don't see the selection committee giving a schist if we beat ULM 7 or 8 times in one year or 13-14 straight over two years. That's our local bottle of happiness to enjoy. Probably best if WKU wins today from a seeding perspective.

Thanks for the answer, but I am not sure that WKU (#115) could get into the top 100 (they are .0072 out). ULM is only .0053 out of the top 150, and I am no RPI genius, but on the surface, it seems like that is more realistic than WKU getting into the top 100 (I'm sure WKU beating ULM wouldn't do wonders for their RPI, whereas ULM beating WKU may give them a decent bump)

Damn.. head hurts now.

We want ULM to win, bottom line. Our OWP is a huge chunk of the RPI and having played ULM 7 times, we need that weight desperately.

On that note... no doubt. Of course, they hate us so much that they'll probably throw it on purpose. LOL

2-1 Ole Miss going into 7th.
