    RPI


    Where can I find correct ratings???I look at CollegeRPI and RealtimeRPi and I heard that ESPN's RPi are all different. Where can I find the rules and the real(or offical) RPI standings???

    You can't. Those are just projections using a formula similar (and in all reality probably the same) as the NCAA's. However, the NCAA doesn't actually release their RPI rankings.

        Ken Promeroy is usually pretty good. http://www.kenpom.com/rpi.php

        No one knows what is the real formula is, there are dozens of sites out there. Also nobody knows how important the RPI is when picking the NCAA teams, the comitee always tries to downplay it's importance, but there are overwhelming stats about the number of teams who have made the tournament with an RPI over 64(not many).

            I think CollegeRPI.com has the best rankings out there or atleast the closest.

                    From the Kenprom site:

                    The RPI formula is 1/4*(Winning Percentage) + 1/2*(Opponents' Average Winning Percentage) + 1/4*(Opponents' Opponents' Winning Percentage)
                    but it's never that simple....

                    This formula includes adjustments for where the game is played, as used by the NCAA. Read more about this formula here.
                    And that link is a page long explaination of the road win thing.
