Here is a bit better link from Jerry Palm.

He mentions the 5 components in the middle of the article.

If there was any particular factor that was really killing us, such as the TVI, our NET would not be where it is at either.  By its definition there are certain teams that need to be more worried than us.

People who used to look at RPI and SOS as 2 separate metrics would often misanalyze things, and I think the same thing may be getting done here.

For example, in the past.
Team A - RPI 28 (SOS 11)
Team B - RPI 26 (SOS 78)

Misinformed TV analysts would say -- they have the same RPI, but team A is better because they had a harder schedule -- in fact the SOS is already driving down the RPI, so its wrong to view the SOS like they were doing.
