See my example above - the result in swapping those three games is -
W-LRPI*SOS
20-102730
If you let the same simulator run with those three games included it turns out -
W-L RPI*SOS
20-105067
Sure winning games solves everything, but the OP highlighted a kind of flaw in the RPI system that the Michigan coaches should be taking advantage of. Those two scenarios result in the same exact record, but there are 23 spots different in RPI and 37 spots in SOS. That's for only 3 games! The system is flawed. It's time to stop scheduling teams greater than 150 in RPI.
What's interesting is if you drop the next three games from the schedule and substitute -
Albany (128)
Navy (140)
Toledo (150)
And you let the simulator pick the remainder of games based on odds of winning/losing, Michigan would end up with an RPI of 27 with a SOS at 30. That's a solid resume for a 5 or 6 seed.
Thank you WD - you think you could post gear for the ladies sometime? I'm sure it won't be popular with all the guys here. Anyways - appreciate your posts :)
Every time Harbaugh is challenged by someone - he responds. He just doesn't back down. I am curious to see what he has up his sleeve for these 'protect the fort' bastards.
I have many fond memories at the Joe. Probably going at least once or twice more this year to sit on those big fluffy red chairs - at least before they are gone for good!

Gotta be Empire all the way. Safety for the entire universe has to count for something?

Silly guys - panties don't bunch, they wedge.
May the fourth be with you!

Really like Drevno - his comments about the running backs and DPJ were awesome. Very excited about this year!

That is pure gold.
I just feel bad for WD right now. Why can't we all just get along?

Tom Brady will win his 5th Super Bowl this year. That is all.
