Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5593999, member: 1969"] Conference NET vs Conference RPI (via Warren Nolan). Since RPI is so easily calculated, sites still track it live. When we compare the two, the flaws of the NET become more apparent. Conference NET / Conference RPI SEC - #1 / #4 B12 - #2 / #2 B10 - #3 / #1 ACC - #4/. #3 So the SEC is #1 in NET, but #4 in RPI. We know that the SEC is #3 or #4 in head to head record (basically tied with ACC), and well behind B12 and BE. But their Q4 margin gap, way ahead of others is allowing them to get to #1 in RPI is ultimately a quality of record measure... a very flawed one, at the same time I think it has B10 and B12 ranked higher because they are actually winning more of the quality head to head games. If you have a sample of 200 games, and conferences have similar strengths, conference RPI is probably a better measure than NET. [/QUOTE]
