huskrplaya Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Like I did last year I will try to update the RPI (according to WarrenNolan.com) of the B1G teams each week or so. After 2 weeks, this is the standings: 22. Ohio St. 47. Indiana 53. Penn St. 88. Michigan 101. Michigan St. 113. Nebraska 125. Northwestern 131. Illinois 132. Purdue 210. Iowa 260.

Foppa Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 That's cool. And I like your avatar...where were you at in that pic? Quote Link to comment
huskrplaya Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Near Salina, KS the day the Spring Game was cancelled a couple years ago. Quote Link to comment
Creighton Duke Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I don't understand how the RPI works, especially this early in the year. Looking at the records so far, our record and competition should put us in the top couple of teams... Quote Link to comment
huskrplaya Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 All it does is tells you how you have done against the teams you have played so far and how good the teams you play are. Those teams affect you over the time period of the season. The more wins that the teams you play have the better you look...if that makes sense. Quote Link to comment
Foppa Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 So how fast did you sprint to the car after the pic was taken? I actually miss storms, although I don't wish the damage they do on anyone. I can count on one hand the number of thunderstorms I've seen in the last four years. You'd think I live in the Atacama Desert or something. Quote Link to comment

Right, I get that to an extent, but how can IU be 2-5 against similar teams as 4-3 Nebraska, but be ranked so much higher? Is this one of those, "it gets more accurate as the season goes on" types of things? Quote Link to comment
huskrplaya Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 It was going away from us so we were there for a few minutes then kept chasing it. I'm getting excited that storm season will be here in a month. I've lived with a few meteorology majors the past few years (including my brother) so I have chased more times than you have seen storms the past 4 years. Quote Link to comment
huskrplaya Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Exactly Creighton Duke. They are so high because their SOS is 21st compared to us at 144. 1 Quote Link to comment

Is this one of those, "it gets more accurate as the season goes on" types of things? IU playing 4 true road games to Nebraska's none is probably the biggest thing making the rankings wack right now. Their losses are "better" than ours since 3 of them weren't neutral site games. 1 Quote Link to comment
Creighton Duke Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 ^^^^^ Ok, that all makes sense. I appreciate it, y'all! Quote Link to comment

I've lived with a few meteorology majors the past few years (including my brother) so I have chased more times than you have seen storms the past 4 years. I'm pretty jealous of that! But I now realize that I'm completely off-topic, so I'll ask this...what kind of RPI would you have given that storm? Quote Link to comment
huskrplaya Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Haha probably a top 10 RPI because it was a long lasting tornado. Quote Link to comment
huskrplaya Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 After sweeping St Johns, here is the updated list: 9. Ohio St 26. Indiana 88. Illinois 94. Michigan St. 118. Nebraska 120. Purdue 122. Iowa 163. Northwestern 175. Minnesota 203. Michigan 224. Penn St. Also, we play UC Irvine who is #49 so a series win would put us below 100. Quote Link to comment

I hate these RPI ratings. Edit: I went and checked the RPI... I guess I'm with Creighton. No clue how these things work. We are 8-5 and ranked 126th right now... the #1 team is 1-2 with 2 losses to the 42nd ranked team? Quote Link to comment
