Message: [QUOTE="Vowelguy, post: 2587832, member: 59"] Yes and no. Yes, it is not on their official list. However, the RPI is not the be-all end-all. It is just one more piece of information. They look at the overall quality of performance, good wins, bad losses, etc. Nowhere is this clearer than the top 16 the committee announced last night. It is more highly correlated with the AP than the RPI. So, no I was not saying the committee uses the AP. BUT the AP does provide a pretty good representation of the quality teams. Uh, forest for the trees. The committee top 16 is WAY more valuable as an indicator than the RPI. Baylor is 3-1 against the most recent top 16. Much better than Maryland's 1-2 last year. [/QUOTE]
