Message: [QUOTE="Bear11, post: 2640094, member: 7934"] The point of the post is that the Big 12 is artificially suppressed in the RPI because of the way it is calculated. Massey and Sagarin agree. Baylor DOES have a good schedule, they just aren't given credit due to the committee's poor evaluation criteria. If the Big 12 cut back to a 16 game schedule, the record for the entire conference, and hence the RPI, would increase. I don't want this to happen, because the big 12 schedule is excellent. It just needs to be recognized as such. This is not about my team affiliation. This is about the NCAA using a criteria which favors certain conferences for playing fewer conference games. The scenario drawn up in the OP demonstrates this. [/QUOTE]
