Adjusted RPI (4/14)

Doesn't help our RPI.

...but it helps my peace of mind. I slept very well last night!

RPI ranking this Saturday morning..."54"...and ahead of Tulame at 62.

Brian...reading over your RPI comments and how and why it is better to play a 225 team than a 110 team. Although the RPI has some overall benefits, it is disappointing that it works that way. When a team can actually benefit from playing a weaker schedule, you know something is wrong with its use. Thanks for the explanation, though.

Btw...you are now officially on my payroll. Free peanuts for you and your daughters when i see you at The Tigue!!

_ Great breakdown. I have for years thought about this exact thing because I am one of the few who likes the RPI and I think more teams should use it in their favor and take advantage of what you can. I hate subjective polls and this is the only thing we have to be objective although it is not perfect it is the best we have.

Maybe UL should put you on payroll just for scheduling in all our sports. _

Funny, I was thinking the same thing ... our new scheduling consultant!

What we can do is hold off on scheduling 6 games each year, then add them in with some local RPI winners! Just kidding on this but there is some benefit. They don't have to schedule the maximum number of games prior to the season. I remember picking up a game or two in the past during the season.

Thanks. I also do not like subjective polls. But the RPI is not the best we have. The NCAA simply chooses not to listen and adapt. The RPI can be improved dramatically and the flaws I have pointed out rectified by some simple formula changes. But baseball has held fast to the original flawed formula.

Additionally, Boyd Nation's ISR system is superior to the RPI as it does not succumb to the flaws I have mentioned ... and better address the connectivity problem.

Ha! No, I would advise without fee if asked. Of course, each sport has its own nuances as the formulas can be different from sport to sport.

I also enjoyed the days when coaches could schedule a three game series between the conference tournaments and the opening games of regional play. This was before regional selections were made.

I am honored to be on your payroll. But instead of peanuts, could you do the following for me?

Could you take Cajun90's iPhone from him at the game (you can give it back to him after the game). He continues to taunt me in the following manner (see attached pic) ...

He takes a picture of my season ticket-holder seat, with my own season ticket for that particular game, a cold beer, and spicy peanuts ... whenever I am home in Austin and cannot attend the game.

Yes, he has a sick sense of humor.

No need to rough him up. I can do that.

Thanks,
Brian

Now that's down right shameful!

Cruel isn't it......
Just one more week before I can continue the torture.
Its an easy fix and short six hour drive.

Could you give us some insight and differences in Boyd Nation's ISR and the current RPI that the NCAA currently uses? I would first have to factor in home and away into the formula and maybe give more weight to OOWP into the formula.

And what other changes you would make if you could?
