re: RPI Manipulation for Dummies

You ruined it.


It looks like that was a winning combination for NCST.


I was just talking the other day how it'd be better if we'd quit scheduling creampuffs in the 250+ RPI range and play like 10 OOC schools like UCLA, Indiana, North Carolina, Kansas, Duke, Syracuse etc for a tier 1 name opponent. Then 4 or 5 tier 2's like Maryland, Boston College, St. John's, Baylor, Oklahoma St., Michigan, Villanova, Seton Hall, Arizona, Gonazaga etc. and then some teams from BCS conferences that have name value like Minnesota, Kansas St., Texas, Cal, Stanford, Penn St., Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, etc.

It doesn't seem to matter that much if you lose to them or not when playing a sub 100 RPI drops you regardless of outcome of the game.
