Selection Committee Use of RPI

[DudeAnon]

Only conclusion to be made based on this year is they will choose whatever stat they can to exclude the non P5 (plus AAC and BE).

Top 50, OOC SOS, RPI, TOP 200 losses. There are enough metrics that they can just cherry pick a bad one for each mid-major bubble team and use that as their excuse. Of course the p5 programs don't have to endure such scrutiny.

South Carolina says hi.

The fact is conferences like the MWC, WCC were down this year. MWC was 12 in RPI, WCC 14.

in Ken pom:
2016-
AAC .6764 #7
MWC .5426 #10
WCC .5254 #11

2015
WCC .5796 #9
AAC .5547 #10
MWC .5131 #12

so MWC improved some- but the WCC fell way back.... Meanwhile the AAC had a much stronger year.

So you honestly think the committee was fair towards the non P7?

pretty close. St Bonnie's Had a decent case. but outside of them, yes. St Mary's had way too many dog games. Monmouth lost 3 sub 200 games. San Diego St got messed up because their conference was garbage(I called that a month ago). Valpo in the Horizon- Valpo was the only team in the entire conference to be in the top 100. 161 overall SOS was the 4th worst of teams in the top 50- and 6th worst in the top 60. St Mary's was 5th worst in top 50, and 7th worst in top 60.

overall SOS-
St Mary's 150
Valpo 161
Monmouth 166

So outside of St Bonnies, there just weren't any good options.
