if they actually use that this year, it will improve significantly in the next 2 games. detroit and someone else will drop. they're one of the few teams who haven't played over 10 games and had the worst ones drop.
I don't believe that will happen, because the person doing the NCAA SOS can look forward to games on the schedule and has probably accounted for the upcoming games already. He can't account for league tournament games though.
guess we'll see. i asked the lax reference guy if he includes any future games, and he said he doesn't. he has them at 24 as well. nd will have 6 acc (duke and syr 2x), maryland, tosu and g'town. and one other. i'm not seeing 15-17 tougher schedules out there but we'll see.
and many won't have a 1.000 and a .900+ game on there, either. and many at the bubble will have at least one or 2, and maybe 3. nd's sos has tanked the last several weeks and not because of opponents. but you may be right. with only 12 games, nd has a risk. that's again, if they care about anything other than straight rpi.
I believe that the NCAA SOS is the average of a team's top 10 RPI opponents, not those team's won-loss percentages.
source? i hadn't heard that.
I guess the big difference between 2016 and this year is there were a lot more AQs near the top in 2016.

You are probably right about Brown, those 2 top 5 victories get them in. Still if OSU beat Rutgers and ND beat Duke, it might be possible for Brown's RPI to slip to #12. Brown does have an outside the top 20 loss to UMass.
