7 RU Wrestlers in the Top 33 in their weight classes. Gravina would be as well if he wrestled enough times. My guess is we end up with 5 or 6 making the Dance. B1Gs will be huge for guys on the Bubble like Colucci and Grello.
RU Wrestling RPI Released
- Thread starter bigmatt718
- Start date
Not sure how they calculate RPI but seeing those results make me think some of their criteria is azz backwards...wrestle on the mat and not by computer algorithms.
EXACTLY!!! Ashnault has beaten # 2,3,4 in the rankings.... but rated #5 RPI???
RPI is basically a strength of schedule. The NCAA multiples your win percentage, your opponents' win percentage, and your opponents' opponents' win percentage, to reach a pure math factor.
Just saw the other post, while true AA has beaten the 2, 3, 4, it is calculated on all your matches with a 17 match minimum.
All that math shit is nonsense. If you beat 2,3,4 you are # 1 until you lose. Last time I checked he was unbeaten. He beat whoever was put in front of him. End of story.
Bill, that is why RPI is only one part of the equation. Coaches Poll(AA is 1), Win %(AA is 1). The RPI is just a tool to help get the top 33 wrestlers into the bracket.
Really it is not that hard to understand. It has been around for years.
Relax, AA will take care of business at the Big10 tournament and be the #1 seed in Pitts, no matter what his RPI ranking is.
Not sure how this algorithm is calculated... but when u face the #2,3,4 that’s a pretty friggen strong schedule!! Beats #3,4 and former #1, undefeated season, high bonus frequency...... ranked #5.... makes sense totally legit
