Sorry, my rant for the evening...this drivel drives me crazy when they discuss tournament selection.
If you are going to consider RPI or BPI or whatever, don’t mention the strength of schedule and quality wins and losses. The RPI (and others) is designed to take that into account. It ranks schools based on wins/losses and adjusts for schedule doing the qualitative work for you compiling the final rank that theoretically can be used to compare teams’ records. Considering both RPI and then qualitatively judging the rest is redundant.
