It was said before the season that the committee would “use all 3 metrics”

Then she changes and says they will look at RPI but look deeper if there were significant differences between DSR, KPI & RPI. I listened to the interview…Eric Lopez the perfect bracket picker acknowledged after the interview he was surprised (and sounded disappointed) that they had backtracked on how they were looking at the newer metrics In other words they went back to leaning on RPI…which as we know strongly favored SEC teams outside of the top 10 in relation to comparing DSR vs RPI (we were higher than MsSt, A&M & LSU in DSR but lower in RPI
