I feel like we need to have a talk. The RPI is a terrible metric, regardless of what anyone hopes to capture with it. It is inherently broken. It should not carry the weight it does, not in 2016 when we have found countless superior ways to evaluate teams. We still live in a world of RPI-as-tiebreaker and it's hurting college basketball. I've come to terms with it, but I don't have to like it.
NC State's women's basketball team did not earn an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. I thought they should have been in the tournament, but I'm biased.
