I see this as good change for TU. I don't think its likely we win the conference and fail to receive a top 125 ranking. This gives TU a better chance to receive an at large since conference winners that are not in the top 125 won't be taking the bottom spots.
I knew this was going to happen the moment they decided to play the game in Arkansas. This state is a curse and needs to be nuked off the face of the planet.
No ****, and its a garbage metric with a formula that is not public knowledge. RPI isn't perfect, but at least everyone knows what it is, and it is completely based on wins and losses unlike the net which is influenced by point diff.
