[HEADING=1][SIZE=4][B]->[/B] [URL='https://archive.ph/DH04v']Pairwise Rankings on way out[/URL][/SIZE][/HEADING]
The Pairwise Rankings, which have long been used to determine the NCAA tournament field, are likely on their way out.

The Pairwise Rankings are expected to be replaced by the NCAA Percentage Index (NPI), which is used on the women's side.

Like the Pairwise, the NPI will have weights for different criteria such as winning percentage, strength of schedule, home-road bonuses, quality win bonuses and overtime wins.

The coaches were presented a document that showed last year's final Pairwise Rankings alongside how the NPI would have looked at the end of the season, depending on different weights.

The NCAA tournament field would have looked relatively similar. In a couple of NPI formulas, Arizona State would have replaced Penn State as the final team in the tournament.

The NPI will likely be used beginning this season. <-
