So the limited data set after just a few weeks of games inevitably will produce odd results based more on how a team’s schedule has broken to date than on the team’s actual value.

Ultimately, it’s not a tool that has full value until an entire schedule has been played out. Obviously, we’re a long way from that. “Because it’s so new and so different from the RPI, we just think that getting out information, sharing it on a regular basis, letting coaches, student-athletes, fans and the media know what the implications are would be important.”[/I] [URL="http://www.sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-division-i-basketball/news/hysterical-overreaction-to-ncaa-ratings-release-can-be-a-net-positive-for-the-sport-dan-gavitt-kentucky/9ma54n06jrj01hdpsurzvt5yb"]Hysterical overreaction to NCAA ratings can be NET positive for the sport[/URL] [/QUOTE]
