[QUOTE="FrogsMcGee, post: 561604, member: 3530"] Here's the math. Stop reading now if you aren't into the details. RPI formula is .25(your winning percentage) + .5(your opponent's winning percentage) + .25(your opponent's opponent's winning percentage) +- some bonus/penalty points for winning road games against high-rpi teams or losing home games against low rpi teams. Ignore the bonus part and assume the opponent's opponent's winning percentage is .500 because I don't want to figure that. Then you are down to your winning percentage and the sum of all of your opponent's winning percentage. The first part of the formula for TCU currently: .25(40/51) = .196078 After our next result that number will either be .25(41/52)=.197115 or .25(40/52)=.192307. So we go up by .001037 or down by .003771. The loss is much more painful. The second part of the formula currently: .5(1264/2617) = .241498 All else being equal (our non-CSB opponents winnign percentage unchanged), that number will be .5(1287/2666)=.24137 with a win or .5(1288/2666)=.24156 with a loss. So, before other changes to our non-CSB opponents, Thursday's result will increase our RPI by about .00096 with a win and decrease our RPI by about .00366 with a loss. Those will be offset by other results, but it's the approx. change from our Thursday game alone. It's never better to lose a game for your RPI. [/QUOTE]
