Rpi
BYU is RPI #33 in my RPI calculations.
If I have time, I might run my own projections for where BYU will finish. BYU nearly always climbs in the RPI through the conference season, so I expect that to happen this year, as well. I think we actually have a good shot at making tourney without winning MWC championship, but it might be hard to get three teams--and AFA and UNLV are near locks right now. For Geeks Only: It's extremely frustrating nailing the RPI calculation. I'm not matching the official NCAA RPI but I'm close. I might spend an hour or two today trying to figure out why my RPI's don't match. |

Does your formula account for games that were scheduled, but not played (like some of the Colorado college teams)?

Does opp winning % = total wins by opp's /total games by opp's or is it an average of each opp's W/L? I think that's my problem. Right now I'm just summing all games and giving weighted avg instead of straight avg. |

opponennts games, less the games directly against that team. This also applies to opponent-opponent's W-L%. Example: Team A is 20-0. Their opponents cumulative W-L is 250-200. The opponent winning percentage should be (250 - 20)/(450 - 20) = (230/430) I did some research at the request of BYU around 4 years ago about the likely difference in RPI results if BYU scheduled some a couple of lower-tier D-1 teams instead of a couple of D-II teams, and I seemed to reconcile with www.collegerpi.com's RPI using the above methodology. |
