bullshite. I left my OP alone for that very reason. The title alone was edited only after Chicken said it was confusing. You are Fake News.


Before MSU series: needs to finish top 8 rpi LSU - no chance
after MSU series: LSU RPI - 8

From what I remember your news may not be fake, its just horribly inaccurate.

from the page he linked
quote:

This report lists the various scenarios for each team to finish higher than the team currently in the shown key RPI positions, those that correspond to the various seeding or at large thresholds, assuming that all other teams maintain their current winning percentage


it's not intended to be 100% accurate

If you look at the replies in the thread, that would explain any changes to the RPI needs report. And I updated the OP accordingly. Boyd's formula isn't perfect and I had that note from the beginning. It wasn't my opinion, but a relay of info form a site that does calculations same as warren nolan. I didn't make any conclusions from it other than saying what the site said and noted that it could change and didn't mean anything for national seeds. Your beef is with Boyd and Warren for that matter, since at the time, they also predicted LSU getting a 9+ RPI to finish the season although just like Boyd it changed after the first State game to say that winning out would give LSU an 8 RPI which turned out to be accurate.
