I didn’t know this was a Congressional inquiry!
How’s this for a direct answer? GFYS

I just think the algorithm that drives it is not great! When a team beats the brakes off Q3 team and drops in the RPI versus a team that losses to a Q1 team, that to me is a problem that needs To be corrected.


Wait, so LSU should be rewarded for beating the shite out of Grambling sized schools, but not rewarded for scheduling 4 of the top 10 teams in the country???

Why even have polls before the last one?


Polls are just something for you and I to talk about throughout the season. They really have no meaning at all.

Boy I really miscalculated on posting this topic! ??
I just Think the algorithm is screwed up.
I thought this would be an interesting topic to discuss in the post season.
Didn’t mean for this to be such a hot button on either side of the argument.

You just can't help yourself. You are the only person in this entire thread that looked like they lack brain cells, yet you continue to try to insult everybody else.

Are you claiming these results are acceptable? The fact that after the dust settles the computers
still have it EGREGIOUSLY wrong should make the selection committee DEVALUE the RPI or better yet shite CAN IT!


I will bite and explain it to you since you don't seem to understand.

The job of RPI is to take into account the entire season of results. We play in a league with 300 teams were only 64 make the tournament and you only play 10% of the teams. There is no possible way to rank teams and hold a fair postseason without a ranking system like RPI which the committee uses along with other metrics.

Is it perfectly calibrated to select the best team at the end of the year? No, but that is not its job. Its job is to select the teams that play in the tournament.

The tournaments job is to determine a champion, which it did. The tournament doesn't take into account that we got run ruled by a terrible in state team. It shouldn't and doesn't.

But RPI does and it should. Its an imperfect tool for an imperfect problem and none of you mouth breathers that shite on it have any idea what you would propose as an alternative.

One last bit!
The top 7 RPI teams at the end of
May were all awarded top 8 seeds for the tournament. LSU was #10
Maybe RPI is just a tool but it carries a ton of weight!
