Committee needs to completely get rid of RPI and use KPI, DSR
LSU loses to barely .500 Mizzou, we beat top 25 Clemson 10-5 and we don’t jump LSU. RPI is hot garbage

RPI has always been a brainless equation that doesn't reflect the quality
of a team or their performance. It's idiotic.

How did it ever get adopted? Or should I just say, it's another stupid
system in the long history of stupid from the NCAA.

What you said. It got adopted because all the ivory tower lame-os were
afraid that if they counted the scores then there would be a big incentive to be "unsportsmanlike" and run up the scores. So they adopted an equation that would make them feel like it was a fair system, and they could blame it for their choices. Bureaucratic dweebs. ** Edited by King of Hokies at 4/5/2026, 10:16:20 PM

The NCAA is example # 1 of that Einstein saying, "Insanity is doing the
same things over and over and expecting different results"

Well, a Google search reveals this about insanity…
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results," is widely attributed to Albert Einstein but is likely a misattribution. It appeared in print in the early 1980s, often linked to 12-step programs or author Rita Mae Brown in 1983, not Einstein"

Great. You missed the point but it's early.
