[QUOTE="gtbeak, post: 1003841, member: 3164"] Your point about lack of cross-pollination is correct. I have never dove deeply into the discussion, but it is given as a reason that the west coast schools are not well represented in the RPI rankings. The claim is made that their RPIs are penalized by the lower number of schools available to play mid-week compared to the east coast schools. I've never cared enough to really look at the argument. As to the 1.3 and 0.7 weighting factors, that doesn't even make sense. A factor of 1.3 would be correct if the home team wins 61.5% of the games (close to correct, I can buy that one), but 0.7 would be indicative of the home team winning 71.4% of games (not even close). Road wins appear to be credited fairly close to correctly, but home wins are discounted much more than they should be. [/QUOTE]
