Bradley's RPI

Yes, Sagarin looks much more realistic!

Sagarin___RPI
109_____138 - Illinois-Chicago
6________41 - Florida
250______13 - Missouri-Kansas City
296______82 - Florida-Gulf Coast
161_____331 - Richmond
192_____281 - East Tennessee State
15______187 - Michigan State
21________9 - Butler
286_____195 - Southeast Missouri State
149_____101 - Wisconsin-Milwaukee
337________ - SIU-Edwardsville
 
SIU-E is a provisional D-I school. I don't think wins over Provisional schools factor into the RPI. (Much like DII or DIII schools)

I am not sure if a win over a provisional D-I school is actually reflected to the selection committee members either. (Much like DII or DIII schools)

I thought BU's RPI would take a big hit win or lose next week in Florida, but maybe I was wrong. We play the #13, and #82 teams down there. But Richmond, who I thought would be better than either UMCK or FGC coming into the year is a pitiful #331 in the RPI.
 
I think Richmond is a better team than the others we will be playing in Florida, the RPI is just messed up this early in the season.
 
Here are some comments from Jerry Palm:

September 12

The same 341 teams that counted in last year's RPI will count again this year. North and South Dakota States both join the ranks of fully qualified D-I schools and are now eligible for the postseason.
There are several other schools that may end up counting in the RPI, but that depends on their final schedules. Those are Bryant, New Haven, North and South Dakotas, Seattle and Southern Illinois-Edwardsville. Houston Baptist is the only team that is on its way to D-I status that we know for certain will not count in this year's RPI.

September 16

I have been reviewing the schools that may count in the RPI this season and it looks like Bryant is the only newbie that will qualify.
Houston Baptist is playing a qualifying schedule, but is having some other issues with its transition to D-I, so for right now, HBU does not count in the RPI. That could change.
North and South Dakotas are playing a number of D-I teams, but not enough to count in the RPI this year. SIU-Edwardsville came close, but it looks like it won't count either.
New Haven just joined a D-II conference, so it looks like it has given up on moving to D-I. Whether that is true or not, it is certainly not playing a qualifying schedule and will not count in the RPI.
Seattle has not released its schedule yet, so its status is still pending.

November 1


Houston Baptist will count in the RPI this year after all, so they join Bryant as the only new RPI counters.
 
It's good IMO that SIU-E will not count, it won't drag down our RPI, which is one of the few ways mid-majors can show they belong to the Media, though many are trying to discount it nowadays.
 
SIUE being a non-counter could be a very good thing for us, because they are also playing a number of our opponents:

ETSU, Evansville, SEMO, UMKC, and Milwaukee.

I wish SIUE all the best in their endeavors, but we can't afford to have any of our opponents lose to them.
