ZIPSMOM2 Posted December 3, 2014 Report Posted December 3, 2014 Can someone explain to me what is RPI? I never really understood what this meant. Thanks in advance for explanation Quote
ZachTheZip Posted December 3, 2014 Report Posted December 3, 2014 RPI stands for Ratings Percentage Index.The basic formula is RPI = (Winning Percentage * 0.25) + (Opponents' Winning Percentage * 0.50) + (Opponents' Opponent's Winning Percentage * 0.25).The NCAA also uses multipliers to account for home, away, and neutral games. A home win counts for 0.6 wins, and a home loss is 1.4 losses. The inverse goes for road games. This only applies toward the first part of the calculation (winning percentage * 0.25). Quote
a-zip Posted December 3, 2014 Report Posted December 3, 2014 Can someone explain to me what is RPI? I never really understood what this meant. Thanks in advance for explanation It is a formula the NCAA uses when it feels like it to justify seeding or putting a power conference team in a tournament. When it comes to seeding the NCAA soccer tournament…it means NOTHING Quote
