_ Since you ARE your opponents-opponent are you counted in that stat adn if so does it matter if you played them one or 3 times? _

No, when calculating your own RPI, results against yourself are not included in your opponents' opponents' W-L calculation.

Interesting that we are now ahead of Southeastern in the Boyd's World RPI. They now have 12 losses... and play a weaker schedule that we do.

Many were suggesting that we hire the SLU coach here.

Amazing that at this point the SEC has 9 teams in the top 25 in RPI.

If other leagues got to play 90% of their non-conference games at home they probably would have pretty good RPI records too. It always amazes me how fans of the "name" schools don't realize the tremendous advantage they have over mid majors due to items of this nature.

They don't have to "realize it"... or I should say "acknowledge it"... they just keep living the benefits of it. We have to use our superior intellect we've self-actualized 500 times on here and get on with making a powerful athletics program support our academic authority. It is never too late to turn from envious to envied.

...and here's hoping everyone of them loses as much as possible the rest of the season.

The Cajuns' Adjusted RPI is .5674 for a rank of 47. Base RPI is .5662 for a rank of 45.

Tulane has an Adjusted RPI of .5457 for a rank of 68. Base RPI is also .5457 (Tulane has no bonuses) for a rank of 67.

If the Cajuns can win tonight, they will earn an RPI bonus of .0012.

This is why I believe that the RPI should have adjustments for road games. The NCAA Basketball RPI does. Home field really does matter in college baseball.

I've said for years that it is ridiculous to not weight road games more heavily than home games. That gives some programs who simply want to sit at home for all non-conference games ZERO incentive to travel and play on the road. If all of a sudden a home win has less value than a road win, maybe that changes their way of thinking.
