How do I read that?
It is a big jumble of colors and numbers.

Here's the actual RPI and SOS #s from the NCAA's RPI/Nitty Gritty Report
Many of the factors that the committee will use in selection and seeding are on this chart which is produced and published by the NCAA: RPI, SOS, record versus top teams, and bad losses. They will supplement this information with both KPI and DSR rankings. As I posted earlier this week, VT is #10 in both KPI and DSR. Just win, baby. ** Edited by VTChip at 3/25/2026, 8:43:44 AM

Agree but their 9-3 top 50 shows they're pretty good. They can beat teams.

VT also has the most road+neutral wins in the country

Don't see why FSU is above VT. VT has more losses in 51-100 column but
5 times as many wins than FSU in the 1-25 column. Combine those two columns and we're 10-4 to their 6-4. They have more games in the 26-50 column but we're both undefeated in that column. If the conference numbers are the difference that's questionable because the conference games just started.

Massey has FSU very slightly ahead of VT. But, for all practical
purposes they are even.

It's probably non-conference strength of schedule
FSU's is 34, VT's is 59. Remember that the RPI calculation is 25% team winning percentage, 50% opponent winning percentage, and 25% opponent’s opponent’s winning percentage. Thankfully they are also using KPI and DSR which both favor VT.
