I am proposing a permanent thread....similar to "weekly games of interest" to track the RPI from all available sources as we make our way through this season.
I must leave it to the more technologically astute IT posters here to figure out how to do it...

Spot position is not indicative of how good a team is, but the probable end of season RPI that is forecasted is certainly useful guidance. That site will load yesterday's results soon and recalculate the forecast in a few hours.
So with the loss the rpi dropped back to 110, but that's not what matters. So early in the season the win loss %changes so much with each game we just went from 100% to 80% and took on Duke's present day win loss and their opponents' win loss.
What you want to watch later today is when the forecast page updates. You will see a jump in the predicted end or regular season rpi. You will know it is updated when it shows our current record correctly here: http://www.rpiforecast.com/teams/Rhode%20Island.html
27 based on expected wins and losses the rest of the season.....wish it was that easy.....25 games left, some teams will get better, some will get worse.....I would take that though, right now!
That is why I would like this to be pinned or bookmarked at the top so we can follow the RPI as it moves after each game...

My thinking is we should be paying very close attention to what Cincinatti does each game they play. They are going to be our marquee win of the year. Amy I crazy to be thinking like that? Or should we all be rooting very hard for them?

The better Cincinnati looks, the better that win looks. In all likelihood, that will be the marquee win from our OOC schedule. I think pulling for Cincy the rest of the way will only continue to make that win look more impressive.
Later in the season when each team is more closely slotted with their season-end RPI, that selection sheet will make more sense. Looking at it based of today's RPI ranks isn't so fruitful.
The Rhode Island page on RPIForecast includes the full schedule and shows expected RPI next to each opponent kind of like how KenPom does on his team pages.
I really used to like natstat.com, but it's been terrible since their server got hijacked and they changed the format. An ugly site that is a mess to navigate and missing a lot of information that I really liked.

Yeah, agree. I miss the old BB State. It's the challenge in making a site mobile friendly. More of the old features are coming back one at a time. I look forward to the A10 vs other Conferences page.
Hate to sound like a broken record but present-day RPI doesn't mean anything. Just follow the expected RPI. As the season progresses, the expected RPI confidence will increase and the daily spot RPI will fall into alignment by selection sunday - the only day the spot RPI matters.
In reality the RPI only matters if you are in a P5 conference....if not they look for ways to screw you even if you are 24 and a mid-major....

Will be interesting to see how everything plays out. Those numbers look like a 10 seed to me.
For reference, Dayton ended up with a 7 seed last year with these numbers:
RPI: 21
OOC Record: 10-2
Record: 25-7 (including a10 tournament)
OOC SOS: 9
Overall SOS: 49
RPI 1-25: 0-3
RPI 26-50: 3-1
RPI 51-100: 6-1
Their other losses were to La Salle (232) and us (116).

reef, if we go 21-9 we will be on the outside looking in, like you said, we need to be at least a game or two better, and of course it matters who we beat and who we lose to....it never goes according to Hoyle.....
If we stay healthy we have 23-24 win talent......for every game we finish worse than that....it's on Hurley.....if he doesn't improve as a bench coach it's not likely to happen....

It looks like 21-9 would do it. Play around in rpiforecast.com. Mark every game how they have us projected to do today, that makes us 25-5. So change the four games we're the smallest favorite in to losses (@ Davidson, Dayton, @ LaSalle, VCU) to get us to 21-9. Our projected RPI is 26. Now go the other way and start off at 25-5 but have us lose the games we're the biggest favorites in (Holy Cross, @ St. Louis, George Washington, Fordham) and our projected RPI is still 28. 21-9 looks to be the magic record.
