Men’s RPI
CARMEL, Ind. (AP) — The Rating Percentage Index (RPI) has been used by the NCAA since 1981 to supplement the selection of at-large teams and the seeding of all teams for the NCAA basketball tournament. This list is an independent duplication of the RPI without input from the NCAA, which does not release the RPI to the public. The basic RPI is derived from three component factors: Div. I winning percentage (25)%, schedule strength (50)%; and opponents’ schedule strength (25)%. Games against non-Division I opponents are not used in calculating the RPI. Beginning this season, road wins will be weighed at 1.4; road losses at .6; home wins at .6; and home losses at 1.4. Neutral-site games are valued at 1.0.
