Subject: maac RPI - OOC Schedule almost over

With the OCC schedule virtually over the Maac has their highest RPI in many many years. It would be nice if Maac teams could finish the few remaining games strong and do well in the bracketbuster games in February. With a strong BB performance, the Maac could move into the top 10 for conference strength. The Maac Trails the Atlantic 10 and Mountain West conference by only a small amount:

[> Question -- Reindeer Fan, 08:39:20pm 01/03/06 Tue, [1]

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.

The MAAC could end up anywhere from 8th to the 16th ranked conference. Since the conference has played a lot of games vs High majors that should help us keep a strong rating after OOC is done. These 4 leagues are right on our tail.

11 Colonial
12 WAC
13 West Coast
14 Mid-American

Stags are ranked 233 made up of
- winning percentage 0.2449
- OWP 0.5247
- OOWP 0.4943
The OWP means that the teams we play have a good record..... over a .500 record. The OOWP means that the opponents that our opponents play are just under .500, however that is almost guareenteed to improve because we played 2 Big East, 2 A-10, and 1 Big-10 team.

We are setup for a good RPI, except we just got to win

Amazing turnaround for the MAAC, and its all based on W's. Iona's win was over a team (Fresno State) that had a lot of W's, and Fresno's opponenets (OWP) had a winning percentage of 56%.

When I went to bed last night, Iona was down 15 and Wacsmann had a concussion. Things did not look good. Big shot by Burtt who really did not have a good game. Winning games when you are not playing well is a sign of a good team.... the old "winning ugly" theory. Doing it on the road is the other key, as away wins count at 1.4 wins, as opposed to home wins which count for only .6

Iona has 4 away wins this year. I am waiting for them to implode :-)
