Bama's RPI is 16. They're being undersold by the NET. It doesn't take but a quick glance at their schedule and ours (both non-conference and conference) to notice the difference between our resume and theirs.
I definitely prefer RPI to NET -- predictive metrics shouldn't be involved in assessing resumes, which should be just about who you play and who you beat. RPI isn't perfect but it's a legible and comprehensible formula -- your record, your opponents' records, and your opponents' opponents' records. NET is completely incomprehensible and its formula is allowing .500 major-conference teams to stay in the hunt. I'd much prefer to see Dayton in the tournament ahead of Oklahoma, but predictive measures heavily favor teams like Oklahoma who are able to avoid playing bad teams, even if they don't win a high percentage of their games against good teams.
My wife limits me lol. I already get in the hockey and baseball doghouse for the Rays and Bolts. The Gators are pretty much my college sports limit.
Beating a #75 Vandy on the road and getting a quad 1 win is absurd. So, to me, that makes the system absurd.
