Subject: Predicting which teams in the lower conferences will have "Helpful" RPI ratings ( within a certain range ) would seem to me to be somewhat easier than trying to predict the major conferences ( bottom feeders ) teams RPI's. Remember that 25% of your RPI is based on your opponents / opponents. To predict accurately in either scenario ( bottom of Big 10 vs. power team of a lower echelon league ) is very difficult. As I said, schedule PSU as some benefits will accrue, but do so with the understanding of where we hope DU is in the "Success cycle" that PSU will probably not benefit your RPI.
In reply to: Always a Duke 's message, "Your theory of scheduling assumes that one can predict that certain teams, some of which you mentioned, from conferences with low RPI ratings will have equal or better RPIs than they had in the previous season. I believe that one must schedule at least some teams from conferences with RPIs better than the A-10. Frankly playing at least one Big 10 team a year can't be all that bad." on Monday, July 19, 04:03:13pm
