Does losing to TAMU help our RPI?

I'm ready to start beating these guys at something. They kinda own us.

Game ain't over yet.

You're right and I've got a feeling we're gonna win this one. I was just trying to remember the last time we beat them at sports. I remember one football win but that's it.

Sort of a quiet dominance.

No it helps theirs since it's a road win for them.

We can pull it out.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Never mind.

Game's over ... and it's just the middle of the 8th.

Just playing them helps your RPI. Win or lose won't have much of an affect. Obviously being swept vs sweeping will have a difference but an individual W/L won't affect it much.

Meh. Winning vs losing does make a big difference tho bc you get dinged in RPI for losing at home

Winning a lot of games vs losing a lot of games makes a difference. A 3 game series though, not so much.

That 3 game series is 5% of your schedule and your winning percentage only counts for 25% in RPI. Meaning this series W/L only counts for 1.25% of your RPI.

Right but you get dinged for losing at home bc of the home/away ratio .7/1.3. If a 3 game series is vs a high or low SOS it can have a large effect. Ie state lost at home to tamu and went up in RPI bc tamu sos. Basically vs tamu the penalty for losing at home was washed by tamu having a good win% and SOS. People always remember the RPI weighting %'s but always forget there are variables attached to them that move drastically throughout a season

ETA If y'all had been swept at home by Arkansas instead of Florida you'd be out of the top 15 RPI. The Florida sweep didn't hurt as bad bc of their win% and opponents win%

RPI no idea who you beat and who you lost to. If UM had swept Florida and been swept by Arkansas, their RPI would be exactly the same as it is now. All RPI knows or cares about is they played UF and Ark 3 games each and went 3-3.

Yea, no...

What he said.

This is all confusing because Ole Miss doesn't play Florida.
