We can now release the voters who were being held hostage.
And it doesnt matter in the least. I wished ESPN would switch to showing RPI ranks on Feb 1 when they mean more. Thats what the committee uses. They switch to CFP ranks so why not RPI.
It would also be useful when you see a score come across as 57 Michigan 75.....48 Minnesota 70. It gives you an idea who is where.
Thank you for trying your Pitt hating best to make happy people feel miserable like you. You truly are pathetic.
Only one problem. The CFP only ranks the top 25 teams in their view. College basketball rankings also are the top 25. There's 68 teams going to the tourney every year, and a number more on the bubble. So they're supposed to put an RPI number on the scoreboard for essentially any team that may have a remote chance of making the tourney? Or they would show the RPI rankings for teams that are well... ranked in the top 25. The rankings are not going away and it does matter to some degree. If you're in the top 25 come tourney time, you're nowhere near the bubble, you're soundly in. It would be nice to see come crunch time where everyone stands RPI wise no doubt, but the amount of numbers that would be flying across TV screens at all times would probably turn away everyone who isn't a die hard college basketball fan.
