If you are using your opinions in a power ranking, I don't believe you should really be calling someone stupid because they decide to back theirs up by RPI. Regardless of how relevant it is atm.
If you want to tell me that you think that Arkansas is better than Texas A&M and you think that Arkansas has better wins than Texas A&M, then good for you. That's your opinion.
But if you tell me that I need to rank Arkansas above Texas A&M at this point in the season because of RPI, then you're being stupid.

And he clearly didn't just give RPI as his reasoning, he also including eye test which is what your power ranking consists of.
He even was giving his opinion on how a win will look by the end of the year.
How are you defining your quality wins/loses? Is that the eye test as well?
