Starting next week, the Top 25 will be determined entirely by RPI numbers, so we may see a bit of a jump for a few teams.

Am I the only one that does not understand the scoring???
I think im doing ok in this

qwerty wins in 4 round? what is that (if it is the same as 5 round (10-0) my score is 32-9)

this is to inform you that i won game # 9888966 against gochisox. it is the 1 game out of the 4 that i went first. that makes 3 out of the 14 games that i have played where i went first.

USC is 5-0 winning 31-20 in week 5 (4-0 11,13,13,15 round wins)

UNC is 5-0 after going on the road and winning a close one with East Carolina 21-19

this is to inform you that i actually won a 2nd game in a series, game # 9888967. of course, my luck still holds - he went first in 3 of the 4 games, so i have gone first in just 3 of the 16 games i have played in this tournament.

This week marks the first week the rankings are completely determined by RPI.

Hi mate can we see this spreadsheet that shows the RPI and can you explane more on it please as I would like to work out how a player that has a 3-1 record can be above players with a 5-0 record!

Thanks

The formula:
(Adjusted win percentage x 0.4) + (Opponents' win percentage x 0.4) + (wins over Top-25 teams x 0.05) + (your conference's record against other conferences x 0.1) + (average win margin x 0.00125).

The adjusted win percentage gives a 60% weight to away games and a 40% weight to home games. Basically, if you win the road against Top-25 teams, you get a huge boost. The spreadsheet is about 17 megabytes, and I couldn't get it to work with Google docs. I'll keep playing around with that though.

I'll have Week 6 games out tonight.

UNC advances to 6-0 after moving past Louisville at home 41-21.

Boise runs it up on the tourney host...let's hope I don't get banished

I upset #9 Missouri this week!

45-9. Ouch. Still better than that 57-7 whoopin' the Dogs took in real life.

UNLV is currently up on #21 Nevada 33-0* on the road heading into the 4th quarter. Whaaaaat!?!??!







*Depending on how many points I get for my two Round 4 wins

I believe my rpi is .617 but I don't appear in the top 25. Am in incorrect?

I updated the standings a couple of days after I updated the Top 25, so there must have been a game completed sometime in that span.

Ball state is also going to be 6-0, currently 36-21 up against Temple with just the 4th quarter to go and no way back!!

I bet my RPI is still crap and ill prob drop out of the top 25!!!

this is to inform you that i won game # 9849547, against swbaird. and again - he went first in 3 of the 4 games.
i have managed to go first in only 4 of the 20 game i have played.

Woo Hoo.. just beat #16 Oregon State 26-23....

this is to inform you that i won my 2nd game against blindman30 in game # 9931676.

Another all 4 qtr win for Air Force... against NAVY... because they quit taking their turns even though they were online. ????????????

But I lost to ND... as in real life.
4-1 now.

never got week 6 games?

qwerty, USC had a bye in Week 6.

Also, Maryland and Clemson are both available to anyone who wants to join.

I tweaked the formula slightly to give a bit less weight to wins over top-25 teams. The old formula would have left Florida (3-3) at #25. This also bumped Ohio State and Boise State down a couple of notches, which I feel is more accurate.
