SVP rips the RPI rating system after it ranks the UCONN Women 3rd overall

My son David brought this to my attention.

That's pretty awesome. UCONN is the #3 team per the RPI. RPI should RIP, that's for damn sure...

Sagarin has UConn 115.86 to #2 Baylor at 101.28. Amazing there could be so much difference. I doubt Vegas ever looks at RPI.

Got to be kidding

SVP is right, of course. But what are the RPI folks thinking right now? They have all their time (and reputation) invested in a black box that plain does not work. Everyone who knows anything about basketball seems to have caught on (and I think of people like Van Pelt as followers rather than cutting-edge), so do they tinker with the black box, tell the world they're going back to the drawing board, announce it's a one-year anomaly (snort!), or what?

After they beat Baylor by 30 and Notre Dame by 20 and win title no.4 in a row.Let them keep helping these 2 teams with false confidence.Maybe just Baylor because ND knows Uconn well.

OK fellow BY's. Raise your hands if you didn't already know that the RIP was crap!

That's what I thought

Duh... RPI!

Maybe the RPI is banking that the refs will bail them out.
