Jamie Dixon has always joked about the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee’s stance that the RPI wasn’t the biggest factor in determining seeds and berths for March Madness.
“There was nothing more similar than the seedings and the RPI,” TCU’s coach said last week, smiling. “It always pretty much went by it [the RPI]. There may be some ups and downs because of leagues or couldn’t put guys in certain places, but it was definitely more reflective of the seedings, the RPI was, than the rankings or other things.”
Well, the RPI is a thing of the past.
