Article on NCAA.com today noting that the committee is still using RPI but putting much more emphasis on road/neutral wins. Rather than top-50, top-100, etc. they have created a four tier system where winning on the road vs a top-75 team is treated the same as a home win vs a top-30 team. This is similar to Kenpom's Tier A and B system.
Quote:
The breakdown will be as follows:
Quadrant 1: Home 1-30; Neutral 1-50; Away 1-75
Quadrant 2: Home 31-75; Neutral 51-100; Away 76-135
Quadrant 3: Home 76-100; Neutral 101-200; Away 136-240
Quadrant 4: Home 161-plus; Neutral 201-plus; Away 241-plus.
Based on the RPI Forecast, we could have 3 Quad One games and 6 Quad Two games in conference play. Half of the games are chances for quality wins, and only home games vs Drake and Indiana State would fall into the worst category.
