Ouch, UVa approaching UNC territory!
Interesting that Massey's is a good bit different.

SoS seems way off; DSR has us at 6 SoS
Probably too early though ** Edited by hokiepro at 3/2/2026, 6:28:41 PM

RPI is an absolute joke. A math "formula" created by people who don't
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.

You are probably right…
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.

Those are two totally separate calculations - they'll never be the same
For example, RPI uses the opponents' opponents SOS in the calculation. I'm pretty sure DSR does not. ** Edited by VTChip at 3/2/2026, 6:41:49 PM
