they don’t meet any of the other.

In my original response, a subregional hosting bid for Illinois was not even in the cards.

Now along comes the AVCA, which as you write has determined “these 33 teams meet at least one of the criteria” for one of the 16 subregional hosting bids. If a team has met the subregional-host criteria, its at-large bid to the NCAA Championship tournament is not even in question.

Here is where we disagree. I am saying that Illinois has not even met the at-large criteria, and is therefore currently not even among those that can expect to receive an at-large bid should it fail to reach the minimum “above .500” W-L overall record. The AVCA begs to differ, saying that as one of the 33 potential hosts of a subregional, its at-large bid is a presumptive lock, thus leading me to believe that guidelines are being rewritten.

Just a lot of speculation, and not even worth considering until the regular season ends.

Not that I am suggesting the Wahine grow beards (lol) but they need something to bring them together and have fun again. Any suggestions we can pass on to Team Shoji?

Because lets say texas went 15-5 over the season but were ranked one. And lets say colorado who went perfect but was ranked 15. Even if a team did beat texas wouldnt it hurt their ranking more than if they beat colorado.

Thanks! I was always assuming that if they beat good teams the RPI goes up. This is why i was shocked last year because hawaii beat stanford. Thanks for the clarification! I now see why hawaii sometimes isnt seeded. They only play top ranked teams pre season.But cant being in the pac 12 sometimes be bad because even ranked teams lose 5 times in the conference?

Regarding the first two components of the RPI, a loss to Texas combined with a win over Northridge will have the same value as a win over Texas combined with a loss over Northridge. Can’t say about the third component exactly without a computer model/spreadsheet, however any differences are likely to be very small.
