Men's RPI Ratings
Posted: Monday March 08, 1999 12:56 AM
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. It is derived from three component factors:
Division I winning percentage (25 percent),
schedule strength (50 percent) and
opponent's schedule strength (25 percent).
Games against non-Division I opponents are not used
in calculating the RPI.
