For those who may not be familiar, the RPI (Ratings Percentage Index) rankings play a big role in how teams are seeded for the postseason. The formula to determine these rankings considers 50% winning percentage, 40% of the opponents’ winning percentage, and 10% of the opponents’ opponents’ winning percentage. Seems a bit complex, right? But rest assured, it’s designed to give teams a fair shot based on their performance throughout the season.
