RPI is not a dink
It’s also not a metric the selection committee will use any more, so no matter how high it is, it won’t help us come March.
Sure. But it doesn’t mean it isn’t relevant. Whatever they use isn’t so far from RPI that it means nothing.
There was a scathing comment from Nate Silver about the new NCAA formula but I cant find the link. He said something to the effect that you couldn't concoct a more statistically inappropriate metric if you tried. Said it was ludicrously bad.
It actually does count for nothing, The NCAA website explains all the tools that will be used.
Kenpom is 52

Silver has been on record along with a consensus of coaches in supporting the USE of Kenpom. It measures OE and DE per possession, exactly how you play and against who.
FYI, i think the Gophers are much better than 52 and with Curry will climb Kenpom. The OE and DE PERFORMANCE is updated everyday and those two categories lead directly to a teams win losses. You never miss the tourney with a top 25 Kenpom ! It shows exactly how your playing. Look at the top 20 and those teams are playing really good basketball. It takes out a fans bias or the wishes of what they want. Measuring what you score and give up every possession is what coaches look for. Do it over a period of time and there is not a single outlier in wins and losses.
Yes but that rarely happened with top 25 rpi teams either. The highest rpi teams to miss the tourney were a #21 Missouri state (only top 25 miss), #29 Colorado State, #30 Air Force, Hofstra. Highest power 6 to miss was # 40 Cincinnati.
How did RPI include fan bias?
I'm not arguing for RPI i just don't know what the best measurement system is.
Our RPI will also drop no matter what happens in our next 4 games. A lot of it is based on who you play. Since our next 4 games are against mostly mega-cupcakes it will drop simply based on who we are playing. I don't know what the best metric out there is, but I know it's not RPI. Since the selection committee won't even see our RPI there's really no reason to look at it.
Here are the ranking systems the committee looks at and where the Gophers stand in each:
NET - 65
KenPom - 53
Sagarin - 52
KPI - don't believe this one has been computed yet for the 2018-19 season
ESPN BPI - 57
ESPN Strength of Record - 25
I hate ESPN BPI metric 4 of thos top 6 schools are from the acc. this happens every year
RPI is now at 12.
RPI is officially considered worthless. Not used by NCAA. OE and DE rankings now are playing the role they always should have.
I don't care whether we win or lose the games we just have to keep our OE and DE solid.
