Interesting that Massey's is a good bit different.

understand math.
It's an abomination to the American education system that it was ever allowed to be used. And here we are, with it *still* being used.

The good news is that the NCAA has slowly allowed/transitioned to other metrics such as the NET in basketball.
In softball, however, RPI is still the primary metric although there are other factors slowly coming into the thought process for selection and seeding. But change, especially for the NCAA is painfully slow.
So as long as RPI is considered the primary tool, we’ll keep reporting it.

For example, RPI uses the opponents' opponents SOS in the calculation. I'm pretty sure DSR does not.
