two double digit seeds have made the final four...and more have made the sweet 16 or elite 8....bottom line is you can't say oh it doesn't matter cause they were going to win it....you have no idea how important the experience is for those kids its a bigger deal then who cares they weren't going to win
they sometimes put in too many bcs schools instead of equally good mid majors but they are getting better at that now. also they rank bcs schools better than they should sometimes but overall its 1000000000 times better than college football
imo col should have been in msu's spot....they got in based on there past and the fact they beat purdue in the big ten tournament....they should have been out
so rpi is overrated but you can use there SOS?? you realize they are both formulas right??
they have 5 legit wins means jack shit if they played a cupcake schedule all year. they play in the pac 10, they are forced to play good teams and you are bound to beat some of the them. dear god its like you people never watched college bball before
rpi is a formula....in my eyes a lot like the bcs.....its just a bunch of numbers put in a cpu that shits out a number....and the selection committee puts to much stock in it col. beat enough teams to get in....michigan state lost to peen state (who also should not have been in) twice iowa once and also did not beat one of the good teams on there schedule...the buffalos at least did more then that
rex formulas help keep out personal opinions into the equation. in the rpi if you beat good teams your rpi gets better therefore if colorado beat better teams than UAB then they would have a better rpi, its that simple. how can you argue against that?
yes they do, at the beginning of the season a will admit rpi mean didly squat but by the end its very capable of dtermining which team are quality wins and which team are not. if the rpi cant tell good teams from bad teams then how come umass goes up way more after beating xavier than it does for being fordham? its becuase the computer weighs the better game appropriately so it is worth more. colorado only played shitty teams out of conference so when you beat the 310th best team your rpi is going to look shitty compared to a team that beat the 72nd best team. while ill admit that looking at Top 50 wins should also be considered when deciding to put teams in as well as rpi, the rpi is a very good tool and very vital i think in helping decide who goes in
Colorado should be in the tournament. There's no getting around it. Put Colorado's resume up against UAB and VCU and they have them beat in nearly every category. Virginia Tech should have also gotten in.
