It does not include the tourney because you cannot predict who will play who and how many games are left.

Arkansas is awful and won't do anything to help State's RPI.

It doesn't mean State won't be a national seed.

Nonsense - spoken or written words that have no meaning

It means where you will finish in the regular season. So not nonsense. Again you just don't like the info. It is a site run by a State person.

Maybe nonsense is not the correct description. Mental masturbation is probably more appropriate.

So you don't think RPI is a relevant stat?

Nope. We get it. You are backtracking now and trying to dismiss something you didnt understand initially. It's ok to just admit you were wrong though.

That is a live snapshot. The one posted is a predictor of what the snapshot will look like next week. Unless you are saying the RPI as of May 16th is the only one that matters.

Not including the post season tournaments as a "predictor" is like predicting who will lead a 500 mile race at the 400 mile mark. Useless.

At this point its not worth arguing. You're mad because state isn't going to finish in the top 8 at the end of the regular season while Ole Miss is. Good day.

Not mad at all. All we have to do is keep winning, avoid Tuesday, and we will be fine.
