Re: The 2014 Pairwise, Bracketology and History Thread`
Quick question for JimDahl or anyone who has done the RPI calculations.
Tonythetiger20 on the Women's Board is trying to set up an RPI sim for next year. He is struggling with the RPI calcs. I am assuming that the win%, oppwin% and oppoppwin% are calculated the same way on the women's side, although the women don't have the home/road weighting factor, and the 25-21-54 is replaced by some other ratio, which he has found from the Women's handbook.
Apparently his issue is how to do the oppoppwin%. So, I thought I would ask here. He has been doing.....
1)Take the opponent for each game. Here we will use Game 1 as example. Take that opponent's entire schedule and average the win% of the opponents. Save this number.
2)Add all those up for the entire schedule of the team in question.
3)Divide by number of games, and this is your answer.
I seem to recall something about this not being how it is done, and rather it goes
Average over each different opponent rather than each game....
Anyway, I can't remember for sure.
Any help available?
Thanks.
