Message: [QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 4660915, member: 549"] Interesting discussion on D1Baseball on RPI, midweek games and “intent to schedule” -> Fair enough, but Hughes didn’t stop there. He targeted the RPI as a metric and suggested dropping the bottom four or five RPI games on someone’s schedule to keep RPIs from getting unfairly dropped in areas of the country where access to good RPI midweek opponents is rather limited. “If you’re tied to certain teams in certain regions, I’ve always said let’s take your worst four or five RPI games and let’s drop it from the resume for the calculations,” Hughes said. “Let’s not have those games count toward your resume. There are some lower Division I teams that don’t have the funds that are counting on programs like ours to help fund them by some of the guarantees that we provide. “Now, we’re in a position where we won’t or can’t play those teams,” he added. “They’ll hurt our RPI, and in turns, the RPI will end up hurting those programs, too.”<- -> “[URL='https://d1baseball.com/top-stories/k-states-hughes-proposes-changes-to-rpi-as-schedule-intent-becomes-useful-tool/']In my discussions with some committee members over the past few weeks, this idea of intent to schedule has consistently come up in conversation. The idea behind this is how well did you intend to schedule from a strength standpoint.[/URL] <- [/QUOTE]
