[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 1010335, member: 322"] I agree entirely that RPI modifications are in order, like dropping the top and bottom 5% of the games. There have been plenty of proposals that make sense. IMHO there is NO single metric which can accurately compare how a college team ranks against another team at the end of the season. College players and teams improvements (including injuries) alter the expected capability of the teams so much during the season that the end of the season performance isn't fully reflected. Also, there are so many (>300 D1 teams) and there are realtively few OOC games. Ranking teams within a conference is more accurate, but again for the whole season and not where they are at then end. The eyeball tests and expert opinions are also appropriate, but again with so many teams and changing season performance, they are subjective. As long as I agree with the results, they are better. Ask FSU and Herbstreit where real money is involved. Whatever RPI changes are made, I'd hope they are done with at least a year's advance notice so that the smart scheduling teams can adapt to the new RPI (i.e. new game). [/QUOTE]
