[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 698006, member: 2843"] How does it work... MATH! ...don't ask me to be specific. (y) In general, you want everyone on your schedule to win all their games (except the ones against you). Of course, that is impossible due to common opponents. My go-to website for baseball RPI. [URL]http://warrennolan.com/baseball/2020/rpi-live2[/URL] This early in the season, the data is pretty meaningless. It takes shape after 6-8 weeks once enough games are played to satisfy all the common opponent comparisons. I don't know how dated this info is.. but if RPI calculations have changed, it probably isn't too significant.
