Message: [QUOTE="moqui, post: 893136, member: 214"] RPI is like the Model T of the field - great in its day but hopelessly outmoded [S]BPI is not really an algorithm. Bilas looks at all the various rankings to get a general survey of the field, then just ranks them according to his subjective opinion[/S] ooops . . . the BPI is an algorithm; I was confusing it with ESPN's Bilas Index. Synergy Sports has a ton of detailed data and analysis, but it is proprietary and costs a lot to access, it really isn't the same thing as the others. I like Pomeroy because it is a pretty elegant method - offensive efficiency minus defensive efficiency - but mostly because of the details he gives on specific aspects of offense and defense but the best thing to do is use Ken Massey's cumulative rankings. at least for now; there are some flaws with Massey that someone will clean up some day.
