Message: [QUOTE="ecasadoSBU, post: 3376727, member: 3976"] It doesn't matter whether you loved it or not. It was far from perfect and it wasn't aiming to be perfect. There is no perfect way of choosing the best 68 (out of 250) teams into a tournament unless they all play a round-robin against each other. But what the RPI did provide was that (1) it allowed everyone to calculate it easily (2) everyone knew what they needed to do to get a better index and make the tourney (3) and it was mostly transparent and fair to all members of all conferences Now we lack all three on a new obscure ranking system that isn't perfect anyway and can be easily manipulated...
