New NCAA basketball RPI rankings

[rockytop1956]

they are out. UT ranked 69th. interestingly, Vandy ranked 4th. they have played a very tough schedule so far.

Quite interesting. I noticed that they beat mighty Tusculum by ONE POINT in their first exhibition game. We will rise as the season progresses.

 

[ThisIsWhyImHot]

they had to come back from down 18 to beat DePaul. Vandy hasn't really played anyone.

RealTimeRPI.com has us at #40 this morning. Pretty decent jump from the win we got last night.

Vandy is the Real Deal this season... I think UT beats them but not if the game were played today...But they will give us some problems...

Well - the RPI is about to soar if we can hold our own @Xavier and @Gonzaga..

 

[VolinArizona]

RPI is trash until February-ish.

Wake is the only half decent team on that list.

Thanks for the link, way better than the one I was looking at.

Um, Wake is the worst of those 4

No problem. They continually recalculate the RPI multiple times a day based on recent game outcomes, so you don't have to wait week-by-week.

The RPI is a formula that anyone can calculate at any time - this site just automates it.

Valpo, Bradley (who are those guys) and GT (tons of talent, perennial underachievers, so no, they haven't played anyone.

Wake is terrible.

BRadley is half decent.

 

[ThisIsWhyImHot]

well either way. One okay team and a bunch of cupcakes. Not overly impressive.

 

[VolinArizona]

Valpo, Bradley (who are those guys) and GT (tons of talent, perennial underachievers, so no, they haven't played anyone.

Wake has the 3rd toughest SOS of those 4 teams, so failure for you.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Um, Wake is the worst of those 4

They'll finish in the cellar of the ACC.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

I'm not overly concerned with the RPI at all. What was Florida ranked the past 2 years at this time? It was lower than 40th.

 

[emainvol]

They'll finish in the cellar of the ACC.

Going out on a limb there aren't you?

 

[k-sny-vol]

Wake shouldve beat Vandy.. they missed wide open layups and missed A TON of FT's at the end of the game.. otherwise, they woulda won..
and Vandy hit ALL their free throws in the final minutes..

 

[volsforever27]

Doesn't mean a lot til January or February.

 

[CardassianVol]

Wake shouldve beat Vandy.. they missed wide open layups and missed A TON of FT's at the end of the game.. otherwise, they woulda won..
and Vandy hit ALL their free throws in the final minutes..

If we could ever do that we'd be unbeatable. Vandy deserved the win. But if you look at the rest of the list you'll realize it means nothing this early.

[rockytop1956]

latest update thru games of 12-22. Arizona 1st, Memphis 2nd, Vandy 5th, UT 10th, and... Kentucky 204th ;-) heh.

I agree that I'm not sure how useful it is to look at the RPI until later in the season. Having said that, however, I can never resist to look. The following site updates in "real time":

RealTimeRPI.com - A leading sports ratings and resources community on the Internet - College Football Ratings

The results are not official, of course, but they are usually pretty close once things settle down. And the results are updated within a few minutes of a game being completed.
