Message: [QUOTE="DomeHolmes, post: 5599852, member: 10113"] I remember the Missouri Valley conference was the first to figure out how to game that system. Play teams that are about the 200 level non conference and play them on the road. Get 1.4 rather than .6 points. Play teams that have historically good records in their conference. That was the key, opponents winning percentage was way overweighted. It didn’t care if the teams you played were good or not, just had to be good enough to be good in their conference, (Also Playing so many home games non conference back in the day crushed our RPI). Boise, Utah state, etc are the new Northern Iowa. Good metrics every year, but never really beat anyone of note, and of course, never went anywhere in the tournament. [/QUOTE]
