Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

The problem though is you can't infer because it's what he does- not looking at the RPI, that the other members are like that.

There could be a huge difference between what HE thinks and what the committee thinks. What you said "he is ACTUALLY ON THE COMMITTEE so we don't have to guess at what they think because he just told us!" just isn't the case because it's what HE thinks. It's not what the committee necessarily thinks at all....

Also the output that we saw just does not mesh with a non RPI approach. Can you explain Colorado or Tennessee last year? Those 2 were CLEARLY RPI based decisions and didn't have a damn thing to do with advanced metrics.

and did the talk show host ask, "why don't you use RPI"? Afterall the NCAA has an RPI site and they even archive the final RPI. Seems odd to me the NCAA goes to the trouble of keeping and archiving RPI and it's known they've looked at UD Pride's rpi and even invited those guys to the Mock Selection Cmt last week and answered some of their pointed questions. If he isn't looking at RPI at all then I would seriously question why he's involved. Something is not right with the story, I'd guess something is lost in translation.

The segment he was on is #13 on this list. He talks Creighton for a while then NCAA.

I just listened to it again. He said he creates an entire 68 bracket every Friday on his own. He uses the RPI to determine he AQ winner in his bracket.

He doesn't look at Lunardi or other prognosticators, but does look at metrics. He said RPI isn't relied on by committee. BPI is better. He looks at KenPom and KPI. He averages those to determine 1-60 then looks at head to head matchups and results to create his own bracket. Goes through top 40-50 using his own process each week.

Okay so as it pertains to this conversation, UD RPI am BPI are 35, but dance card has Dayton 56

I'm not sure dayton has ever been relevant to any discussion on this board.

You wasted anyone's time with that lame post?

Based on what I see with Rpi vs Bpi, I'm going with UD RPI, Bpi has Mississippi #30, that alone = no credibility and the Creighton guy is using this?

According to BPI, Ole Miss is 19-9 vs. the 27th hardest SOS.
