Syracuse loses to Miami 57-62. They finish with a record of 18-14 and an RPI in the 80's. They're a lock.Where oh where is our T. Boone Pickens.Comment

Penn State and Nebraska locked in an OT game with serious implications for the bubble. Both teams are garbage and basically facing each other in a play-in game, but they ARE in a BCS conference, so I'm assuming the winner gets an at-large.Comment

Please pardon me if I was to have turned on my meter, but run up what score? I didn't watch the game, so just looked through the play-by-play. They were tied at halftime. Built up a 13 point lead that didn't last very long and, with the starters in, had only a 1 point lead with a little under 3 to go in the game (yes, the starters may have been tired). Also noticed, that "former" starter Grayson Allen played only 12 minutes, 0-4 from the field with no points and 3 fouls.Originally posted by Cdizzle View PostComment

Hopefully, it was the kiss of death. rpiforecast.com's live RPI dropped the Cuse to 85.Originally posted by wusphlash View PostComment

One thing I don't understand is ESPN is reporting Syracuse's RPI as 75. NCAA had them as 79 today before the loss, much more in line with the 85 where Warren Nolan has them currently. Where does ESPN come up with its RPI? Why? Would Lunardi think differently if he was using proper RPI numbers? 75 and 85 is a big disparity.Originally posted by wusphlash View PostComment

Where are you seeing this? If true, it appears ESPN is panhandling for Syracuse with inflated numbers. They better fix that ****. Even though 75 is also a hilariously bad RPI.Originally posted by Heinro View PostDeuces Valley.

But looking at it, ESPN has our RPI as 34; NCAA has our RPI as 27; Warren Nolan has us at 28. Illinois St. NCAA 31, Warren Nolan 31, ESPN 37.
Not sure why ESPN's RPI numbers are so much different.
I discussed it with Eamonn Brennan. I think he even changed the Syracuse Bubble Watch from RPI of 75 to ugly RPI, but the best part of the discussion:
@eamonnbrennan Why is ESPN's RPI so off? Thought 75 you were deceiving w/Cuse. ESPN 75. NCAA had them 79 before the loss. Therefore 85 RPI.
@d honestly not sure why discrepancies sometimes pop up on the site, but RPI is best when viewed vaguely anyway
@eamonnbrennan Thank you. But I think the difference between 75 and 85 isn't a vague discrepancy, it is a huge discrepancy.Last edited by Heinro; March 8, 2017, 10:36 PM.Comment

ESPN's RPI formula has always done an atrocious job replicating the real thing. WarrenNolan is gospel.Comment
