RPI Futures 2022 - Week 0

[vballfan17]

BIG thanks to bluepenquin for all the work he has done on this in the past and it made the handoff very seamless.

RPI Futures is the projected year end RPI based on the scheduled matches and the win probability per PABLO.

I had to do some manipulation regarding the 5 new D1 teams since they don't have Pablo ratings yet, but that'll work itself out once the season begins.  Also, there's a Louisville tourney where the matchups still seem undetermined, so I will make adjustments on those schedules later.

Thanks for taking this over.

I’m so glad this is continuing. This has long been my favorite feature of the site. It’s so fun to watch the numbers change week after week depending on wins and losses. There’s always someone who views it as a prediction, which it isn’t. It just gives a nice idea what needs to happen versus what Pablo says should happen for a team to rise higher in the end of season RPI. I find it extremely informative.

I’m sorry you’re having to take all of this on yourself, vballfan17, but I guess not sorry enough since I don’t want to take this project on myself. My eternal gratitude and sense of awe will have to suffice.

Adding all of the schedules is definitely the most time-consuming part, so at least that part is done

this doesn't even make sense to post and call it Futures, because it's not Futures....sorry not trying to be a downer, but it's all based on last years data, & futures requires current year data to actually project Futures in the current season, and the starting point is flawed because....it's last years data so for now it's 2021!!!. a better starting point unfortunately would be polls.



it should be called Pastures or Bygones....to be more accurate....Futures in the Future

What are probably the 4 toughest matches on the Texas schedule are mirrored on the Nebraska schedule. Somehow the Texas SOS is #10 while the Huskers are #12 even with the B1G schedule.

I'm outraged!

It’s just a placeholder. It doesn’t even start to make sense until a few weeks into the season, and still it ends up frustrating people. Happens every year, mostly because people want to get upset at the results it provides. The real issue is such a strong reliance on RPI. But given the priority the committee has given RPI in the past it’s particularly instructive in terms of top 4, top 16, and especially top 64. Then you have the top 32 being seeded this year for the first time.

I read somewhere the committee is going to rely less on RPI, but I don’t know what that means or when they start doing that.

High Point and Denver in particular are RPI juggernauts. Last year the whole Big 12 played the RPI game really well, which helped all the schools collectively. Once conference play starts it becomes a closed loop, so whatever the conference does to set their conference RPI has to be done in the preseason, and that’s dependent on scheduling a bunch of teams that tend to dominate their conference.

While they are very close in SOS %, it dings Nebraska just a bit more since Iowa (x2), Tulsa, Indiana & Rutgers are all projected to finish worse than the likes of Oklahoma, UC Davis & TCU

same with this season

2 in the top 10, 6 in the top 50 in terms of RPI preds. K-State on the bubble too.

On the bright side, two common matches are early enough they might help to make computer rankings be a bit more accurate for a while.
