In reply to: JCM 's message, "maac RPI - OOC Schedule almost over" on 08:32:40pm 01/03/06 Tue,

Perhaps someone knowledgable about RPI can answer my question/s. It seems that RPI becomes somewhat static at the end of conference play. Isn't it true that if the team Maac schools played continue to win that can further boast the MAAC conference RPI? and isn't the converse true? I understand that most conferences will only play games within their conference and thus will split their remaining games resulting in a constant RPI for the wins/loss portion of the calculation. But wouldn't having a good strength of schedule ranking bode well for the Maac's chances to continue to move up, as the teams we played should continue to win.

Clearly I don't understand how this works in detail and would love an explaination from someone more knowledgable.

Link below to FAQ's by Jerry Palm of Collegerpi. Should answer all your questions and more. But in summary, we want everyone of our OOC opponenets to win (thats called the OWP). We also want our opponenets of our oppponents to win (thats called the OOWP).

The OWP is easy to calculate with a little work. The OOWP needs a database of game results..... hence a computer has to do it.
