The Official RPI Thread (post updates here)

Just wanted to give you a little bit of insight into my not quite right mind…
Little bit before you, 1981, was accepted into NC State’s brand spanking new school of computer science. Genius me figured computers were a flash in pan thing. Went to light blue school where everyone thought I talked funny 😂
Well I never took a SAT actually almost failed algebra in HS just went to community college. I should have taken computer programming we had one quarter of it but a friend in my electronics class went on and also took computer programing and ended up being over the IT department at the Biltmore estates and after several jobs just ended back in my family's flower shop but I was real good at it now I do wood art as a hobby now that I'm on disability.
My youngest daughter and her husband graduated from NC State he's a nuclear engineer knows a little more math then us 😂
 
More of a Pilgrim’s Progress or Dante’s Inferno kind of guy
Actually may or may not have read those myself…
Man I am embracing my nerdy side tonight huh?
I’m a Stephen King constant reader in fiction (girlfriend loaned me Salems Lot back in 79)

You guys lose me at English. I went to Appalachian State one summer thinking about becoming an algebra teacher but on the entrances exam while I tested out of all the math classes until I got into the major itself it was a totally opposite case for English and after the semester I decided not to stay I figured I'd never get thur literature.

Well I’m only a 3/4 educated country boy. Left after junior year of college because I thought I would make more raising tobacco. Never regretted it because I did and got to watch three children participate in all kinds of activities including sports. Only thing is retirement is all on a farmer to provide his own pension. And insurance.
Still like numbers though 😂
And you could have done the English. Just have to think in terms of equations. It’s how I sorta picked up Spanish. There’s a mathematical rhythm to everything!!!
 
Trying to figure up my own Projections here-
If Albemarle finishes with a losing record can the still.get the automatic bid for top 1A team in split conference? Or they have to finish above .500 to do so?

Big difference in them being seeded 7th and 20 something

Only thing I can find is saying Split conference with 2A schools — 1-seeds must be in the top 3 or have an overall win percentage of .500 or better to be seeded with the 1-seeds, or else be seeded with the 2s and wild-cards.
They're in the top 3, so they get that bid?

Think the key word is “or”.
So yes?

Okay someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here. I'm seeing serval owp #'s that don't look right. Example Robbinsville's OWP they have .66667.
Okay owp supposed to be the combined record of the team's opponents minus the outcome of the game with that team. Like ES is 7-2 they lost to Robville so that gives you 7-1.
Well the combined winning percentage of their opponents is 49-24 that's 73 games so 49/73= .67123 not .66667

If I understood the handbook correctly, you don't figure out the OWP like that. You take the average of all the teams winning percentages not adding the records to figure it out.

Quote from the handbook:
NOTE: This is not calculated via the combined record of the opponents, but rather by averaging each winning percentage of the qualifying opponents.

Robbinsville would still come out to .6671232 After I replied to Kidd below, I noticed I had an extra field selected in the equation. So .666667 is the correct when using the above method from the handbook.

Wouldn’t that still be using same numbers though? Average being added all games won/lost by opponents then dividing by eight or nine: amount of games thus giving you the mean?

I noticed I had an extra field selected in excel where I was doing the math. The .66667 for Robbinsville is correct based on the handbook. I also made an edit to the post above.

It could be the same but not always. Here is Robbinsville broken down.

I was just going by how to calculate it and that's how every example explains it including the NCAA. Thing is some come out exactly the same and that's how I thought I did last year and had no issues.
But yeah added the averages like 7-1 =.875 then ÷9 games and got it . I thought I already tried it that way but apparently not. But thanks

Why post same thing twice....do you need some attention?
Because I never see an update. Why do you have a problem with everything I post? I am not the only one who has posted an update in the last few weeks. Stoff my backside you BABY BOY who is jealous that someone from Mount Airy gets attention besides you! You are a sick man and need to see a mental doctor !
