This RPI formula isn’t good for college baseball

Why do you get such a negative effect from playing a bad team?
Teams shouldn’t drop for beating a bad school and shouldn’t get such a bump for losing to a good school.
It’s going to make good teams not schedule small schools because it will hurt their RPI so much. These small schools depend on the money generated from those games to fuel their program.
Just another example of the ncaa doing their best to destroy college athletics

Jay needs to hire the same firm Will Wade used for scheduling.

You should change the “Wee” to another “Wa.” It would go better with all that crying

It’s a formula that was developed for basketball and even they don’t use it anymore.

I’m criticizing the RPI system. I can give you countless examples how it doesn’t make sense. For starters, 15-15 Florida hosting over 18-12 Arkansas. Or 16-13 Auburn hosting over Arkansas who finished two spots ahead of them in their division.
Maybe you want to say something in support of this bullshite system.
Because I see it sending the message that conference games don’t matter. Basically just don’t schedule any small schools or midweek cupcakes and just find some really good teams to play but it doesn’t really matter if you lose to them.
You like that?

Rpi is a terrible system. Just look at the Q1-Q4 comparison of Florida and Arkansas, there is no way Florida is that much higher.

RPI was eventually replaced with the NET rankings in college basketball. Something better has to come along for baseball too.

Florida hosting makes no sense to me. Not saying LSU should have gotten that spot, but there are 3-4 teams (including LSU) more deserving than UF.

It’s terrible but it’s the system they use. Just like the NET in basketball. Like Wade, you have to be able to adjust and schedule to it. Weekend series against Maine, Towson, Southern, and Bethune-Cookman ain’t it.

I think this is the biggest issue
TN elevated three teams' RPIs enough to allow them to host. Those three teams managed a combined one win against the Vols.
I also have a problem with A&M getting a national seed while Arkansas doesn't even host finishing a single game behind them in the standings. F Arkansas but if that happened to LSU this board would implode.

Or how about aTm is rewarded for not playing a game as opposed to winning it.

The RPI is skewed this year because one team (UT) had an unbelievable record. A quick calculation showed that had we been swept by Tennessee as opposed to Arky, our RPI would be in the 12-14 range. 50% of the RPI is opponent's winning percentage, which us huge when a team has UT's record.

Win games and you don’t have to concern yourself with where your RPI is

Their record is good but not unprecedented.
It’s exposing the flaw in the system that needs to be fixed.

No
that’s literally the point of this post Arkansas won 18 conference games. It’s not as easy as saying just win your games. They did. And a team who only won 15 conference games got in over them.

I agree. I live now close to Southern Illinois University. They beat DBU 3 out of 4 times this year, and finished first in their conference but lost in the conference championship game against Missouri State. But since DBU has a higher RPI rating they are expected to get the at large over SIU. Makes zero sense to me.

Propose a different objective criteria / formula for ranking teams.
Then we can calculate what the final rankings would have been for comparison sake.

any system that dramatically values beating its #49 team more than its #51 team is flawed at best
Posted on 5/30/22 at 10:02 am to WaWaWeeWa
We don't get swept by a very average Ole Miss, and look really bad in the process, we're not having this conversation. RPI is just an excuse.

This is not a LSU specific issue anyone is talking about.
