[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 1008928, member: 2843"] Good post [USER=3164]@gtbeak[/USER] You're exactly right... RPI is math. I have no problem with math. Math is cool. What's not cool is using the current... way too flawed RPI formula... as the primary tool to sort out post-season at-large bids to the tournament. As you point out... & my 2 biggest issues with the math... 1) the home/road weights are too big 2) a team's own record is not weighted enough It seems so obvious to me. IF the system used for racking & stacking teams for the post-season literally incentivizes top end P5 teams to cancel games (not play THE baseball games) because win or lose they suffer according to the math... you absolutely HAVE TO address it. It continues to happen & everyone seems to just throw their hands up like nothing can be done. As promised... here's a link to Massey's composite for baseball. Close to 9 different rankings or ratings listed as of now... across all except RPI (#61 when massey pulled it), Ga Tech is as high as #28. The low is #39.
