I like what you did, but just like college RPI rankings, it gets a little confusing on how you came up with the final RPI. Can you give us a quick breakdown on how you got to your RPI ranking. What is RK, and how did you get the SOS. I think that your ranking is pretty accurate, but on the SOS, it seems that Chario is pretty high. They are a good team, but half of thier wins came from teams that could not fill a full team, not thier fault, but I think thier SOS should be lower. Just my opinion, but a great job nonetheless.
