Message: [QUOTE="Bear11, post: 2598131, member: 7934"] I don't hate on the RPI because it hates Baylor, but because it is a flawed method for creating a ranking. It may have made sense 30 years ago when information on teams was limited and computers couldn't do as much, but not anymore. As of the other day, UConn is no longer number 1 in the RPI. If a ranking can't pick the top team when it is that obvious to everyone else, why should we trust if for anything? It is baffling that the committee clings to it. It would not be difficult to come up with something better while still adhering to their guidelines. As for any debate on Baylor, I think we have to hold off until we know the status of Kristy Wallace, or how we compete without her in the Big 12 tournament. The team still has immense talent, but it is a large blow at this point in the season. I would not blame the committee if they decided to move us down a seed line. [/QUOTE]
