Never realized its importance until you started streesing it. Coincidently, heard radio commentators mention it has become a handy way for tournament selection committees to sort through all the "who beat who" comparisons easily in order to find the truly superior teams.

Comments were made, for example, that UConn's padding of early wins through light OOC competition could come back to hurt them. (It certainly did not prepare them for OK.) It gives me new respect for the tough OOC scheduling that TOT pursues. In some case, gamely losses against tough competition conceivably could fare better in the NCAA committee's eyes than wins against light competition. Another reason to never play Sacred Heart...sorry couldn't resist.

It is all-important when it comes to discussing at-large bids. The women never would have received an at-large bid recently if they didn't have a good RPI.

Not sure how much it weighs into NIT selection, but I suspect it does.
