No more rpi to measure making the tourney
The NCAA announced Wednesday it has developed the NCAA Evaluation Tool, known as NET, to replace the RPI as the primary sorting tool for teams under consideration for the NCAA tournament.
The change is effective immediately and NET will be used instead of RPI for the 2018-19 season.
NET will take into account game results, strength of schedule, game location, scoring margin, offensive and defensive efficiency and the quality of wins and losses.
The system won't give more weight to games late in the season, instead omitting game date and order from the data. It also caps winning margin at 10 points as to not encourage teams to run up the score.

This affects men's basketball too.

A giant step forward for the NCAA. Not perfect, but much better than the RPI.

Figstats doesn't run the UDPride RPI. Only the Women's Volleyball RPI.

The RPI will remain for womens basketball for the timebeing, along with other sports, to help determine NCAA bids. The change for now is just MBB.

Unless they do away with the selection committee, any ranking tool developed is more of the same.
Either seed the tournament by your tool, or develop a better one.
Any sport, any tournament...
