Argh-P.I.

I hate the RPI. It's a silly, useless, completely gameable, simplistic formula that doesn't mean what it's supposed to mean. Even worse than the RPI itself, though, is the way that people tend to use it most often: in projecting the NCAA Tournament field. People tend to treat the RPI as a static element, when in fact it fluctuates significantly based on each day's results. Which opponents remain on a team's schedule, and how the team fares against those teams, are of tremendous importance, and shouldn't just be ignored. So, in an effort to strike the phrase "If the season ended today" from the college hoops lexicon, I present the following report. It uses the TAPE projections for the remainder of the season to project each team's final RPI rating.
