bisbee Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 GauchoDan's RPI, etc. Hararea Sorry that link from previous post doesn't appear to work. If you go to BIG Soccer and then to College Section there is a thread showing this guys projected playoff picture based on his current RPI calculations. He has the ZIPS at #4 RPI.

Ando Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 per wikipedia, The current and commonly used formula for determining the RPI of a team at any given time is as follows. RPI = (WP * 0.25) + (OWP * 0.50) + (OOWP * 0.25) where WP is Winning Percentage, OWP is Opponents' Winning Percentage and OOWP is Opponents' Opponents' Winning Percentage. The WP is calculated by taking a team's wins divided by the number of games it has played (i.e. wins plus losses). For Division 1 NCAA Men's basketball, the WP factor of the RPI was updated in 2004 to account for differences in home, away, and neutral games. A home win now counts as 0.6 win, while a road win counts as 1.4 wins. Inversely, a home loss equals 1.4 losses, while a road loss counts as 0.6 loss. A neutral game counts as 1 win or 1 loss. Note that this location adjustment applies only to the WP factor and not the OWP and OOWP factors. Only games against Division 1 teams are included for all RPI factors. As an example, if a team loses to Duke at home, beats them away, and then loses to Cincinnati away, their record would be 1-2. Considering the weighted aspect of the WP, their winning percentage is 1.4 / (1.4 + 1.4 + 0.6) = 0.4117 The OWP is calculated by taking the average of the WP's for each of the team's opponents with the requirement that all games against the team in question are removed from the calculation. Continuing from the example above, assume Duke has played one other game and lost, while Cincinnati has played two other teams and won. The team in question has played Duke twice and therefore must be counted twice. Thus the OWP of the team is (0/1 + 0/1 + 2/2)/ 3 (number of opponents - Duke, Duke, Cincinnati). OWP = 0.3333 The OOWP is calculated by taking the average of each Opponent's OWP. Note that the team in question is part of the team's OOWP. In fact, the most re-occurring opponent of your opponents is team in question. Continuing the example above, a team has played Duke twice and Cincinnati once. Duke has played one other game and lost, while Cincinnati has played two other games and won. Next, for simplicity, assume none of the unnamed teams has played any other games. The OOWP is calculated as (Duke's OWP + Duke's OWP + Cincinnati's OWP ) / 3. Duke has played and beat the team in question (which, excluding the games against Duke, only lost to Cincinnati), lost to the team in question (excluding Duke, only lost to Cincinnati, and lost one other game (excluding Duke, this team has no WP). Duke's OWP is (0/1 + 0/1) / 2 = 0.0000. Cincinnati has played the team in question (excluding Cincinnati, they went 1-1 vs. Duke) and won versus two other opponents each of which have no WP when games versus Cincinnati are excluded. Cincinnati's OWP is (1/2) / 1 = 0.5000. For the team in question, the OOWP is thus (0.0000 + 0.0000 + 0.5000) / 3 = 0.1667 For the team in question, the RPI can now be calculated: RPI = (WP * 0.25) + (OWP * 0.50) + (OOWP * 0.25) Plugging in numbers from the above example gives you RPI = (0.4117 * 0.25) + (0.3333 * 0.50) + (0.1667 * 0.25) = 0.3113 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratings_Percentage_Index Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoZipsGoZips Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Top Drawer: #1 UConn, #2 UNC, #3 New Mexico, #4 Maryland, #5 Creighton, #6 Akron, #7 UCF, #8, UC Irvine, #9 Louisville, #10 Boston College http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soc...DB_OEM_ID=10800 CSN: #1 UConn, #2 UNC, #3 Maryland, #4 Creighton, #5 New Mexico, #6 UC Irvine, #7 Akron, #8 UCF, #9 Louisville, #10 UCLA http://collegesoccernews.com/index_files/Page11095.htm We can probably expect about the same tomorrow night... maybe #5 - #7 Not bad for a bunch of freshmen that only won 5 of 8 games so far. We could win out now... but even if we do... our RPI won't be enough to land a 1-4 seed without some help. We need the teams that we beat to make a decent showing and we need some upsets to happen. I don't mind our chances of advancing deep into the NCAA Tournament on the road though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisbee Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 i believe UNC and Maryland still need to play eachother. New Mexico will probably lose on the road at Bakersfield. We just need to win out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisbee Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Guy at UCSB who posts on Big Soccer.com has new RPI list up and we are at #6. Interesting is that sitting at number 5 is St Johns who has 3 losses but he calculates their SOS as the toughest in the nation. We are #12 for SOS. Maryland still plays UNC at Chapel Hill and they also play a surging Duke team. If we can win out I think we will end up as a top 4 seed.

bisbee Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Even tho New Mexico has no losses yet they are ranked several spots below us because their SOS is in the 120s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisbee Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 The rest of the MAC occupies the following RPI spots: 34,69,100 104,107,and 166 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ando Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Even tho New Mexico has no losses yet they are ranked several spots below us because their SOS is in the 120s. they've had more home games too I think, which would hurt their own winning percentage a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UAZipster0305 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I think if we win out, we definitely get a top 4 ranking and seed for the Tournament. We will likely be able to tie one and maybe even lose another and still hang in there. In my opinion, the team has some gelling to do before we can reasonably expect to win out and make a run for the Final Four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree but for a team that has added so many new faces I am amazed at where they are half way through the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisbee Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 New Mexico is ranked behind us because their SOS is very poor. Based on watching only the games they played against us no doubt in my mind that UCSB is a much better side. That being said I also saw more than half of the UCSB Cal Irvine game and UCSB looked terrible in that one. Guy on Big Soccer.com has figured out latest RPi and he has us with #12 ranked toughest schedule and New Mexico with SOS of #129. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
