Thanks, urmite. But the ncaa selection committe does not use this metric; only rpi rankings. OSC

Thanks, urmite. But the ncaa selection committe does not use this metric; only rpi rankings. OSC

Correct, and RPI rankings will still be taking 50 point swings each game for another 2 months. This one, although far from perfect is the best measure of how teams have played, possession by possession, for the first 6 games. So less likely to move quickly. But doesn't predict any change how teams will play in the future.

I am more likely to look at this metric for now, since RPI measures record but not how you perform each possession. The question is will record and performance be similar by season's end?

A year or two ago, I shared on this board a link to the Easy Bubble Solver. At the end of the season, it does a pretty good job of predicting whether a team makes the field. If KenPom ranking plus RPI ranking is less than 100, you're safe. Stay tuned.

We have the 2nd most top 100 wins, 3rd best A10 win overall and the only top 100 road win in the A10. Wish we didn't have the JMU loss, but we can overcome it.

And we're still behind W&M in the rankings.
