Congratulations Jerry. Maybe someday you will be calculating the RPI of freshman sensation Karsten Palm's NCAA basketball team... ... From: Jerry P. Palm To:...
Greetings, fellow collegerpi group members: Once again, it's that time of year, for furious discussions of the various merits of teams based primarily on their...
It turns out the trouble was with my ISP, as opposed to my web provider. Most likely, you were able to get to the site, but I wasn't. Everything seems ok...
As this poster's previous message has clearly conveyed, your humble servant is VERY unhappy with the RPI formula--- it seems very heavily skewed in favo(u)r of...
You seem to be operating from the assumption that the RPI is the be-all, end-all when it comes to evaluating teams and picking them for the Big Dance. Year...
... I cant see MARQ making it. There are two other teams in the conference with better RPI and better Conference records. Their overall records are also...
In reply to one of Canadianbucko's previous posts, "Evans, Jason (CNN HLN)" wrote the following: 'Teams at the middle and even some at the bottom of those...
... Actually, Georgia was the #8 seed. We see that the RPI is not the most significant factor in seedings and picking the teams every year. It matters, perhaps...

Absolutely agree 100 percent. Unfair to punish the mid majors. But what is the best way to rectify this? Maybe if they are perceived to be in the top 25 have...
I wish everyone would quit complaining about the Small conference teams getting a shot. The goal of the tournament is to find a champion. When was the last...
Holy cow. We're talking 25 years ago. (Save UNLV). Also, was it even a 64 team tournament at that time. I don't think so. UNLV on the other hand did make...
... That's right. Gonzaga has never done anything in the tourney. They should be denied a bid in favor of Notre Dame. I think I'll go back to planet Earth...

Well, that was a needless comment. Are you considering Gonzaga a bubble team, because that's what I am arguing about. OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE NOT. They are...
Okay, so every other year or so we get a mid major or small conference at large bubble team to go a couple rounds. Is that what we are looking for? Just...
I could not diagree more. The SEC, PAC-10 and Big-10 seem to always get 6+ teams in with seeds better than 7. You remeber the good teams that make it, most of...
