Going to make my job a bit tougher crunching numbers

gone is the straight reliance on top 25 rpi record, top 50 rpi record, top 100 rpi record. Now they have divided things into quadrants 1-4 which adjust based on whether the game is home or road.
The breakdown will be as follows:
Quadrant 1: Home 1-30; Neutral 1-50; Away 1-75
Quadrant 2: Home 31-75; Neutral 51-100; Away 76-135
Quadrant 3: Home 76-160; Neutral 101-200; Away 136-240
Quadrant 4: Home 161-plus; Neutral 201-plus; Away 241-plus.
For example SHU loss to 206 Rutgers would have been a very bad loss grouped into the last rpi catatory losses to plus 150 rpi schools, now taking into consideration it was on the road, it now becomes a quadrant 3 loss.
also this is the first year that the NCAA sheet on each school with officially have other rating metrics like Ken Pom, Sagarin, BPI, etc. Its uncertain how much they will rely on those ratings or the average of ratings over the overall rpi.
the conclusion is road wins are going to be heavily weighted going forward.
