RPI jumps to 30.

Big win. Tricky Wofford coming to town midweek. Better team than they sound. Might be the best team remaining on our schedule not named Tennessee, Auburn or Kentucky.

 

[SixtInning]

Seems like it would be higher with 3 pretty good wins. I guess only having 1 road game drags it down a bit. Would think if we win out in non-con we'll be somewhere around 20 going in to SEC play.

 

[615dawg]

We were 75 before Clemson. +45 spots in two games.

 

[Drewbowski]

Thats Mississippi. MSU is 48.

 

[SixtInning]

Also, NET is supposed to be replacing RPI. Haven't looked to see how that formula works, but we were 26 before tonight and Cincy was 24.

 

[The Maroon Pug]

Hold on, thought this new "NET" was replacing the RPI?

 

[60sdog]

RPI is out. NCAA now uses the “NET” rating. We were 26 before tonight and sure to move up.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

MSU was #26 in the NCAA Net Rankings thru games played 12/14

Live RPI on Warren Nolan has us at 30.

 

[SixtInning]

17 (the actual number) on Kenpom. Cincy 33, clemson 41, dayton 78. Wofford is 72 and BYU is 66 for whatever that's worth. Both very beatable but will help the metrics with a win.

Whatever your metric of choice might be this time of year, we're in really good shape.

Great username.

And funny enough peters last second three mattered. It allowed us to max out our margin of victory in the net calculation

 

[gymdawg.sixpack]

Oh no. Theres a margin of victory calculation now?

 

[SixtInning]

Based on what i can tell it's capped at 10. So winning by 10 or by 40 counts the same. I get the intent of the cap, to keep people from running up the score. But i would have set it at 15 or 20.

 

[8dog]

Yes. Capped at 10. And offensive and defensive efficiency metric. All
of which seem to favor playing bad teams

 

[patdog]

Agree. There's so little difference in any single digit win, why even bother considering it. Just look at last night. A 10-point win would have been a 4-point win if Cincinnati had hit the last second meaningless 3 instead of us.

I know little about the formula, but it almost can't help but be an improvement over RPI.

We are now 16 in the net rankings
