It is unfair. Explain why road games should count more than home games

the RPI formula favors teams from the SEC and ACC. if LSU does not make the tournament than they cannot blame the RPI.

I heard Hunt Palmer say that tweak to RPI was made to accommodate Midwest and other northern teams that want to play but must play almost all early season games on the road because of their bad weather. They end up with more road games than southern teams, so they got a little boost for their troubles,

It’s debatable.

Because it's historically more difficult to win on the road. Average teams win just at home. Good/great teams can win anywhere. That's why road games count more

there is a reason RPI is only one factor.

Secondly I don't think today is a must win, but we can't afford to lose our next two. If we win one or two in hoover even with a loss today I think we are fine. Of course a win locks up a spot in the post season.
