I still don't understand your claim. They are exactly using the winning percentage of the games that count. The NPI is .2*PCT + .8*oppNPI + QWB (where all three of these terms are averaged over games that count, that is excluding bad wins). The winning percentage of the games that count is definitely what the NCAA means by percentage and they definitely use it. This fact may be a little obscured by the fact that the only reasonable way to compute NPI is iteratively so that the .2 is applied before the averaging (wins are counted as .2 and losses as 0 instead of 1 and 0) but in the end .2 * PCT is what is used. OK. You saw my PM. So the game NPI I used is different. I will do a run with your formula. Interesting that my method mirrored the 2021 results(from the YouTube video) very well. Note that was a version pre minimum 10 win rule and include all losses. Hey, if you two start talking directly then I have no purpose in life. 😏 |

One of the comments on the NPI call was that they were hoping to protect the top 4 or even the top 8 teams with additional travel dollars.
Has anybody heard how this might work?
Is the idea just to get the top 8 to different sites or is the idea to let the top 8 host?
RPI isn't the NPI but last year Berry and Emory were both top 8 in RPI and both were in the Mount Berry Regional. It's one thing to then fly Emory to Boston or something, but from a cost standpoint it would be quite another to have Emory and Berry hosting, and needing to bring 2x as many teams to Georgia.
This makes me think the plan is just to separate them into different sites but if you fly a team out of California, Texas or Georgia, you may not have enough teams to justify hosting a regional there and everybody gets shipped. I'm interested to learn more about how this could work if it were to come to pass.
Has anyone heard more?

Hopkins has announced two transfers from Brown University, OH Jilienne Widener and S Kate Danaher.
Not sure they are big difference makers on that team but I'm sure it helps with depth and versatility.
Who else has impact transfers coming in?

Yes, because both D1 transfer OHs should be healthy and available this year, as Lockett should be back. They're going to have some serious firepower on the pin. Oshkosh is who I would have #3 |

They're going to have some serious firepower on the pin. Oshkosh is who I would have #3 Here is the fun part... Juniata and Oshkosh are at Hope September 13 and 14 (Otterbein is there too). And then Hope plays North Park and Oshkosh plays Whitewater the following Wednesday. I feel like we'll know a lot after that. How to they handle elite competition, and how do they (two of them at least) bounce back after getting up for that level of competition? |

I'll get a sneak peak at the defending champs the weekend before when they play Ohio Northern and Swarthmore. Looking forward to a fun season! |

Anyone want to report on any interesting scrimmages this weekend?

Questions about the NPI and QWB....maybe I am overcomplicating:
1. Can QWB's change as the season goes on or are they set in stone based on opponent NPI at time of match.
i.e. Team A beats Team B and earns X QWB because Team B has NPI over 60. Weeks go on and Team B's NPI drops to 53...does Team A lose the QWB?
2. How are QWB determined in the first weekend of play with no data yet?

The value of a QWB is based on their NPI at the time the data is run, and because the numbers are fluid they will run multiple iterations over and over until the numbers settle into place. The NCAA said on the volleyball training/orientation call that they aren't going to share their ranking until about the same time that the human rankings have come out in past years so that the data is sufficiently grounded, but other sport committees have said it will be fully transparent much sooner, and I believe we are going to see unofficial NPI rankings from non-NCAA sources. I feel like the NCAA is building this plane in the air to some extent so we'll know when they do it. |
