Re: Pairwise = RPI
Not quite, Shirtless. Just to take an example, If you have, say, .002 QWB points and an opponent has none, this only switches the comparison when you're within 0.002 of each other, which is to say almost never. But if 0.002-0.000 QWB points gave you a full point, then that combined with, say Common Opponents will flip a comparison. So small differences in QWB between two teams mean almost nothing now, but would be huge in the TUC-like system. Of course, big QWB differences count just as you say. Yale is getting a whopping 0.0071 QWB points for four different wins and that is helping them a lot. But the higher your QWB, the harder it is for them to drop through a few odd results. As teams drop, the effects drop which is what eliminates the cliff.
