coaches just want consistency in the process. If conference records aren't important...make that known and stick to it. If wins away from home are a big measurement, state that and be consistent. If something similar to "Quad 1" wins (like in basketball) is a huge deal, let that be known.

You can't produce results that reflect RPI may have been important for this team....but of no importance relative to "that" team.



an RPI "matters for some" system will have us pulling out our hair. the committee needs to pay attention to what happens on weekends first and foremost

When are y'all going to learn that scheduling arse all non-conference comes back to bite you in the arse? Florida played FSU and Miami among others LSU played Towson, Southern, Bethune, and Maine and a bunch of 1AA schools


Florida played Miami. LSU played Texas/Oklahoma/Baylor. Florida had midweek games with FSU. LSU had midweek games with La Tech. That wasn’t the part of the schedule that differentiated their non-conference schedules. It was Florida playing Liberty (and losing 2 out of 3) and less bad opponents like Georgia St. While you are correct that the scheduling made a difference in the RPI, is it really reasonable that hosting comes down to Florida losing 2 out of 3 to Liberty? That earned them a host spot?

That wasn’t the entire story anyway. Florida had a higher conference RPI as well. They were rewarded for going 0-4 against Tennessee.

RPI sucks even worse for baseball than it did for basketball.

Give me a couple adderall, a white board, and 2 days and I'm popping out a better system for ranking college baseball teams.

Remember when LSU didn't even make the tournament with a mid-20s RPI?
