2017 Baseball RPI

[stodgdog]

RPI rankings are relative. Whether we are 37 or 38 depends on what the teams around us do.

However, our RPI rating is not relative. It comes out to number like 0.5646. Our win counted as 0.7 wins for our 25%-weighted winning percentage component. Then Marshall's record not including Tech (25-23) is averaged into the 50%-weighted opponent winning percentage component. Then Marshall's opponent winning percentage is averaged into our 25%-weighted OOWP component.

Man, baseball was such a simple game at one time.

Lesbian
Gay
Bisexual
Transgender
Questioning their own sexuality (I think)

I assume an example of their definition of transgender (is that even a real word?) would be Bruce Jenner? Like Transformers, but one couldn't go back. Do I have this nonsense correct?

[stodgdog]

Yes

Apparently it does happen.

Been visiting my cyber stalker on the Cajun board to see how they were doing in baseball and ran across this post: "We wouldn't be a bubble team if we hadn't played St. Peters
That's not true. A few years ago South Alabama had a rpi of 38 and did not get a bid."

I thought we should have gotten an at large bid at least one year in basketball during the years Mike White was our coach but I don't know how we stood in the RPI thing or understand how it works.

For the moment at least, we have moved up to #34 RPI after the win over Marshall today.

They got nothing. Everyone is wrong. Pawdawg says the committee is 100% flawless and never makes a mistake.

All possible tourney participants at sub 100 rpis heading into final weekend if everything holds to chalk -

This is good cause it gives us a chance to increase our rpi even more in Biloxi

Tech's non-conference RPI is 14!

Tech's non-conference RPI is 14!

Bummer, it was top-10 before we split with ULL

I don't think the committee really looks at non-conference RPI, but they do consider non-conference SOS. Our non-conference SOS is 111 right now. They want to see teams that challenged themselves by playing tough non-conference schedules and not a bunch of cupcakes.

ODU @ 39

Southern @ 15
