RPI question…. The mystery stats

[Jacob81]

Cajuns record is 30-9
Rpi 52 sos 129
Northeastern is 27-9
Rpi 36 sos 169

So our record and sos is better. What makes them 16 spots better in the rpi?? I know there are bonuses but I didn’t think they weighed that much.

[GeauxLA]

Northeastern has played 2/3 of their games on the road. UL has played 2/3 of their games at home. That’s your difference.

[Jacob81]

Ok. So that 1.3-.7 deal? Or whatever it is.

The formula is just stupid.

Fun fact, the Cajuns lead the country in road winning% with a 9-1 record in away games

[Jacob81]

So 5 home losses x1.3=6.5
1 road loss =.7
3 neutral losses =3

So we have 10.2 losses?


Wins 21 home x.7=14.7
9 road x1.3=11.7
Total 26.4

So our adjusted record is
26.4 and 10.2???

Yes. This is why I advocate for more road games on the schedule. The multiplier differential for road vs. home is absurd.

Yes ... or .72131 as the WP portion of the formula.

Our OWP is a meager .50148 ... which is what is hurting the Cajuns. That will be going up shortly.

Let’s get 3.9 wins this weekend!!!! Haha

You got it. Such a sweep would currently have the Cajuns with a #32 RPI ranking. Winning 2/3 would be a #36 ranking (very tight with a number of teams). But most importantly ... Q1 wins.

Damn so winning 1-3 on the road is going 1.3-1.4
Winning 2-3 at home is
1.4-1.3…. Never thought of that.

4 quad 4 losses at home don’t help either

[Jacob81]

4 quad 4 losses at home don’t help either

Do those quad losses affect the rpi ? Or is that just another thing to look at at selection time.


Let me clarify. Every game affects the rpi. Do the quad 1 wins quad 4 losses ….. add extra affects to the rpi? Or is it separate metric to use at selection time?
