THE RPI IS SERIOUSLY THE MOST LAUGHABLE JOKE OF A STAT


Feb 18, 2016, 7:56 PM

EVER!?! Do any of you realize that Clemson has moved BACK in the RPI by winning the last two games!?

They were at 80 before these two games and now they are at 91!

Does anyone realize how exactly flawed the RPI IS!?! Or does no one care?

I know Clemson needs to keep winning and that will settle it and all

but seriously.......you win two games and move backwards is ridiculous.

Clemson could have scheduled two really good teams say ranked 20 and 10, Lost to both of them

and their RPI would have jumped up but since they played really too poor teams in the RPI and BEAT both of them, they moved back, simply because b.c. and gt have a poor RPI.

Being rewarded and punished because you make a good or a bad schedule prior to the season is the most ridiculous way to rate teams but yet the talking heads say that the RPI is so coveted.

Also, does anyone watch how the refs in the west coast allow teams to play
but in the east, the refs call fouls constantly and dictate how the game is played?
We need west coast type officiating as soon as possible.

GT's is better than ours right now... if we go 4-0 the rest


Feb 18, 2016, 8:36 PM

of the way... we'll be a 13-5 ACC team with an RPI in the 70's

Clemson could beat gt twice and gt would still be ahead of


Feb 18, 2016, 9:33 PM

them in the RPI. Isn't that some messed up stuff?

Clemson could beat gt twice, have a better record in conference than they do and Gt would still be in front of Clemson in the RPI because they "scheduled better teams before the season started"

wow, what do we see here is obvious.....

the committee knows that ... its just one of the tools they use ... that is why the "eye test" is mentioned so much

flawed algorithm is perfect and a precise way of putting it!
Thank You!

The BPI is understandable but the RPI has bugs in it and I
hope the committee throws that out. If you are truly selecting teams, the RPI, is almost irrelevant other than to determine who had a stronger schedule BEFORE the season started.... It is like they are selecting the teams they want to make the tournament before the tournament starts.........

This is how ridiculous the RPI is mathematically ...A team should just schedule The top teams preseason and lose to them but win in your conference and its okay. You could lose every single game if you were playing # 1 one week and #5 the next week, then # 8 the next week, even if you lost those games, your rpi is still going up. That is how fd up the RPI system is and it should be taken out. just sayin. .

Yea I've never liked the way the RPI is set up. Shouldn't the committee put more weight into how you finished the season than who you played at the beginning. Takes time for teams to gel when you have new starring line ups. We've played well and should get more consideration for an atlarge bid.

We didn't move back from beating GT. We were already at 87. Stayed there and moved to 90 after BC.
