  • Isu #2 Rpi

    What am I missing here? ISU is #2 in the RPI.

    UNI is #14.

    You're missing that it's statistically irrelevant, and therefore wildly inconsistent and unreliable, until Mid-January.

      No I get that. It just seems like with UNI playing a 3 game tourney and ISU playing a 2 game one that UNI would come out ahead. Looking at the formula it's that extra game in the tourney that actually hurts.

        I suppose it's because the RPI of UNI's opponents are 50, 47, and 20 (average of 39), while both of Iowa State's opponents are tied at 24.

        But yeah, it's pretty meaningless.

        And BTW, ISU isn't #2, they're tied for #1

          Basically, ISU has played two games, won them both, and both of their opponents are 1-1. So basically, ISU has played two games and both of their opponents have only lost to ISU.

          But yes, it is totally meaningless at this point. I honestly think we'll lose to Bradley on Wednesday, so it will become totally irrelevent then.
