Composite Rankings

[Vowelguy]

Real-Time RPI, Massey, Sagarin, + AP (1/2 weight).

With last week's rank, this week's rank, team, current point total, change in point total from LW.

Because the point totals are relative to the Maximum, and UConn's ratings increased a lot because of the Stanford win, most other teams fell relative to UConn (ie, Baylor's 10% drop).

Note: NCAA host sites St John's & LSU are in danger of not making the tourney. Gonzaga may also face a challenge from St Mary's CA for the WCC title.

Why no coaches poll in this calculation?

Why no coaches poll in this calculation?

It's largely the same as the AP poll, so it would just give more weight to a subjective ranking.
Also, the polls only rank a small set of teams, so they already tend to have an oversized impact on my formula (hence why I only weight the AP by 1/2).

#16 RPI, #32 Massey, #31Sagarin

It's just they were #10 in BE preseason poll (and the BE is not very good this year). Surprised they seem that good now.

Well they just lost 17% of their points and 6 ranking spots in the last week, so they may not be around much longer.
