Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2620264, member: 488"] SOS is already built into RPI, no? The problem I have is the redundancy of the metrics being used more so than the actual metric. We all agree that RPI is very flawed, yet I'm almost more content to tweak that formula and treat it as the gospel than I am to live with the current system. I can understand how one could subjectively come to the conclusion that Syracuse belongs in over St. Mary's. The Gaels have a very weak OOC resume and obviously play in a conference where it can be easier to rack up victories and game the system a bit. But then again they're 28th on KenPom - 27 slots ahead of Syracuse and the highest ranking of all teams that did not make the tournament - and 42nd in RPI (ahead of a handful of teams that got in over them). There has to be consistency, and if that means Syracuse gets in, fine, but when a lot of people who are trained to do this have Syracuse out, that's telling. [/QUOTE]
