Funny how everyone says that the quality of baseball in the state is so good. And you dont have to travel very far to play a quality opponent and get your butt kicked. But i have not seen a team we play consistently that helps our rpi other than LSU.
If we played 3 games against USA and 3 games against LSU, both on the road, it doesn’t not matter who we won or lost to. 4-2 in those games is the same RPI regardless of who the wins were against.
Does it matter to the committee? Yes, it’s a factor. But who the wins and losses are against has zero affect on the RPI value or ranking.
Edit: even a single loss to St. Peter’s wouldn’t have mattered. Playing them 3 times is what hurt.
The new formula will value each home win as 0.7 and each road victory as 1.3, a change from the customary 1.0 of the past. Conversely, each home loss will be weighted as 1.3, and each road loss will count 0.7 against a team's RPI. Neutral site games will continue to be weighted the same value of 1.0.
I was about to post something similar as Jay.
I'd like to see a schedule chart to see if it has helped get teams off their front porch or if they are still set in their ways.
Glasco should be the poster child for getting out although going elsewhere this year has a lot of neutral games.
