I believe it stands for Ratings Percentage Index. But it's basically a formula that calculates your winning pct, your opponents winning pct, and your opponents opponents winning pct, all to varying degrees, with other factors thrown in for home/away games, games vs RPI top 25, etc.
So what is the significance of that number? What do they use it for?

It's a factor for the selection committee. Have you seriously never heard of it before?

It's almost solely used for NCAA Tournament selection purposes. It pretty much boils down to how tough a team's schedule was, and how they performed against those teams. It makes who you play important instead of just wins and losses.
