Thread: Can you guess why the Cajuns' RPI increased?

    Default Re: Can you guess why the Cajuns' RPI increased?

    Could it have something to do with the fact that Southern does not play as many SBC teams as compared to UNO (who plays every SBC team)? Therefore our OOWP is not greatly affected every time we play Southern as compared to when we play UNO.

    The less "connected" an opponent is to your OOWP, the less affect it has on your RPI?

    No, I factored that out of the equation ... as I did with Cajun opponents. Assume that the only game that took place last night was Cajuns vs. Southern or Cajuns vs. UNO.

    I don't know. I'm trying to think outside of the box. I thought maybe Historically Black Colleges had some sort of RPI bonus. Stupid, I know.

    RPI Bonuses do not factor in. You can think of this simply in terms of the Base RPI.

    Think about the formula itself.

    Lets state what we know about the scenarios:

    SU
    2nd time we played them
    Out of conference road game
    Win to go to 2-0 vs them
    Better record than UNO

    UNO
    3rd time we played them
    In conference road series
    Win to go to 3-0 vs them
    Bad record

    Lets go with something to do with it being out of conference and possibly on the road

    Its probably something staring us in the face LOL

    If you are implying bonuses, I said that RPI bonuses are not a factor.

    This involves strictly the Base RPI.

    Are there penalties for playing either UNO or Southern? If so, maybe the penalty is higher for UNO than Southern?

    Q: If UL had lost would a boost still be in order? _
    No to the guess. In fact, it is the Southern OWP that drags the Cajuns' RPI down (which is part of the Cajuns' OOWP calc).

    If UL has W/W or L/L to Southern/UNO, it would not matter. Simply playing either one has the same effect.

    Factor out all/any bonuses penalties.

    But to answer your questions, there are no penalties here.

    Think strictly the Base RPI, not the Adjusted RPI.
