Message: [QUOTE="DomeHolmes, post: 5713586, member: 10113"] The teams they beat are just above average on the whole. Same with Richmond. Very similar profiles. Mostly, No losses really helps regardless of who you play, (see sacred heart). BU and Hop are opposite. Extremely hard OOC on the whole, so their opponents win % of about 70% counts 50% of RPI. A simplification is 1000% winning vs .500 teams gives you the same RPI as as .667 winning percentage playing other .667 teams. Essentially how Duke and Richmond are doing it vs how BU and Hop are doing it. Some of these teams plus St Joes, Rutgers etc run the risk of no quality wins on the resume despite good RPI. The committee has shown with Army that RPI alone does not get you in. We already have 6 top 20 (poll) wins. Princeton has 5. UNC and ND and PSU 3 each. No one else has more than two. RPI right now does not mean much for anyone except for these five teams. [/QUOTE]
