RPI

[Da Coach]

The RPI formula is not very meaningful early in the season. But Bradley fans can enjoy it while it lasts-

I like the 8 SOS too, obviously conference play will knock it down, but hopefully it stays high enough to keep at large possibilities in play if we live up to our end of continuing to win.

take a screenshot again because Bradley has now slipped past Miss State and is now #2 in RPI- https://www.warrennolan.com/basketball/2024/rpi-live

[Da Coach]

Again let me say that RPI this early is rather meaningless.
But Bradley is now #2 in RPI and #3 in Strength of Schedule- https://www.warrennolan.com/basketball/2024/rpi-live

Update- Bradley remains at #2 in the RPI, but with their win today, Evansville has jumped up to #7 in RPI- https://www.warrennolan.com/basketball/2024/rpi-live

The MVC is now 7th in Conference RPI, and second only to the Mountain West among Mid-Major conferences- https://www.warrennolan.com/basketba...rpi-conference

MVC RPI- these are subject to changes
2 Bradley
7 Evansville
38 UIC
43 Drake
66 Indiana State
98 SIU
113 Missouri State
189 Belmont
300 Illinois State
302 Valparaiso
309 Northern Iowa
358 Murray State

Strength of Schedule is also currently ranked #2 hardest in Division I by some sites
(actually Bradley should be #1 except that the only team above them played a game against a horribly weak team that isn't NCAA DI, DII, or DIII, and not even NAIA, so the rankings ignore that game. They played a tiny, 1-6, "USCAA" team that probably wouldn't be able to beat a strong high school team. Believe it or not, the USCAA actually even includes some junior colleges!
Here's their list of schools, has anyone ever heard of even one of them? - LINK )

ISU, Valpo, UNI, and Murray State really under performing this year. Probably expected Valpo to struggle in their first year under Powell, but seeing Murray St., UNI, and ISU this bad is pretty disheartening.

I’m never disheartened to see the Redbirds under performing. And I never take a game with them lightly. Hope we go undefeated against them this year.

Just looked...Bradley # 1 in RPI ratings today!

Just looked...Bradley # 1 in RPI ratings today!

Most RPI websites still have Purdue #1 slightly ahead of Bradley at #2, but here is the one that has Bradley #1- http://realtimerpi.com/college_Men_basketball_rpi.html

...and yet our NET is 78 after beating Vermont. There are teams that we've already beaten ranked above us. Top 100 NET almost entirely BCS conference teams.

How sweet it is! (I obviously need a tutorial on uploading photos.) https://www.warrennolan.com/basketball/2024/rpi-live

I don’t think the NET has been released yet so you’re just looking at the final from last year.
