The RPI has been a metric used to evaluate the quality of NCAA basketball teams for decades. I presume when the rankings were first introduced it was seen as an opportunity to avoid bias toward blue blood programs. Over the years it seems that it was too simplistic and was easily gamed with scheduling efforts.
It will be interesting to see who much more accurate the NET ranking are in the coming seasons.
