Wright State's RPI

[twizman]

Let's keep the discussion JUST about the Raiders so we can keep this thread open. Don't compare our RPI to certain other teams.

Wright State's RPI is currently No. 72! That is the best I can remember since probably our NCAA Tourney team of 2006-07.

Here is a good website to keep up on the RPI rankings:

Something interesting I saw while perusing the rankings. The win over Georgia Tech is not carrying our RPI as much as we might have thought. GTech's RPI is just 156.

Toledo has been our best win per the RPI (Rockets have an RPI of 118). That's followed by NKU (133) and Oakland (149).

I think after we beat GT, their RPI was about 100 less than ours ( think in the low 300's ). So, they have jumped...we have jumped.

No question. They are 2-1 in ACC play. I was worried they might not win 2 ACC games all season! Every win they get in the ACC will help us a lot. We also need to be big Toledo and Kent State fans the rest of the season.

If we would have won that Western Kentucky game we would have been close to 65 or better

I just can't fully buy-in to the fact that our RPI is so good right now (though I'm extremely pleased!). Perhaps because RPI is such a fickle thing and I know that simply even playing teams like YSU and still winning will likely still drop our RPI.

I think during that injury ravaged year with Donlon, the team was 10-8 and with an RPI in the low 80s/high 70s, largely thanks to two wins over Belmont at the time. We all know how that season worked out....

After tonight's games, our RPI is 66...I repeat, OUR RPI IS 66!!!

We have not lost a bad game this season. Let me justify that;

Western Kentucky: 43
Missouri St: 65
Loyola Chicago: 87
Miami OH: 113
Murray St: 131

Avg. RPI of opponents we have lost to: 87.8

In my opinion, that's not too bad. I think this is also helping our RPI a great deal, no "bad" losses.

You are 100 percent correct.

If you look at our out of conference schedule for the most part we scheduled mid major competition that were winnable games. Most of our league played some big name teams and were slaughtered along with losing to quality mid majors.

Interesting Real-time has our only loss at Milwaukee before the tournament. Never seen that good of a prediction from them for us.

Realtimerpi has us at 62 now

G-Tech won again today. They are 3-1 in the ACC!

[Big D]

The HL schedule is going to drag us down even if we keep winning. RPI forecast is predicting our RPI will be 117 by years end.

[Dr J]

Guess we will see if their prediction is correct. But for now I will be more optimistic.
