NCAA Tournament RPI

The NCAA tournament RPI table at right lists the overall RPI rankings and RPI ratings for every 2009 NCAA tournament team.

RPI stands for Ratings Percentage Index. The RPI formula uses team winning percentage (25%), opponent winning percentage (50%), and a strength of schedule proxy (25%) to create a single numerical performance rating.

Most famously, college basketball RPI ratings are used by the NCAA tournament selection committee to help determine the NCAA tournament field and seeds.

Until the NCAA tournament starts, we are using the projected NCAA tournament bracket from David Mihm's Bracketography.com.

Our NCAA Basketball RPI pages also contain a complete list of RPI rankings and ratings for all college basketball teams.
