Will BYU's season end RPI be outside of the top4? If they lose even one match, then it's very likely. If they don't lose it's very unlikely but could happen. My guess is the following: if BYU wins out they are a top 4 seed, if they don't they 5-8 seed regardless of the RPI.Comment

RPI with quality wins and losses as defined by RPI top 25 and 50. BYU will do fine on this metric. A little light on top 25 wins relative to Stanford but lots of top 50 wins:

Stanford's resume looks pretty impressive. Just the one little blemish.Originally posted by pelagius View Post
If BYU were to drop a match before the tournament, who do you think gets the top 4 over them? Would they just go with the top 4 in the RPI (currently Stanford, Illinois, Minnesota, and Texas) or do you see compelling arguments for other teams? For example, your rankings have Nebraska quite a bit higher than RPI does."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

I do think in volleyball the NCAA relies more on RPI than basketball. The NCAA seems to follow it really rigidly for who gets in. There is usually a RPI cutoff for at large bids around 45-50. In terms of seeding RPI still looms really large but these quality win and loss considerations matter too. I think your current top 6 rpi is really the pool for the top 4 seeds. I think it will some combination of four of those six, but I do think if BYU stumbles it opens the possibility of Kentucky but only if Kentucky finishes the season strong including beating Florida. I only say this because it's possible the committee doesn't want 2 Big 10 teams in the top 4. I's a stretch though, they racked up some losses against top 25 teams early in the season so the look bad on the top 25 quality wins/losses metric.Originally posted by Pelado View Post
Nebraska's really good, but they just don't look good enough using the NCAA metrics. Essentially, they have a handful of close loses to really good teams. They also played too many bad rpi teams early in the season. it's hurting their RPI even though they are really good.Last edited by pelagius; 10-29-2018, 03:36 PM.Comment
