[Old School Hound]

After Pikeville's win, Corbin's RPI advantage over Boyle decreases from 0.00479 to 0.00143 ? How does a win by a Corbin opponent have a negative impact on the Hounds RPI ? Seems counterintuitive, doesn't it?

Pikeville's WP(as used in the calculation of Corbin's OWP )actually decreased after their win over Russellville.

Pikeville received a 1.00000 for their win over class A Russellville, which actually decreased their WP (minus the Corbin game) from 1.08037 to 1.06889 . I say minus the Corbin game because that game is not counted when calculating Corbin's OWP.

Before Pikeville-Russellville:

Pikeville's WP: (used in calculating Corbin's OWP)
0.00000
1.00000
1.32200
1.14966
2.01058
1.00000
_________

6.48224 / 6 = 1.08037


After Pikeville-Russellville:

Pikeville's WP:

0.00000
1.00000
1.32200
1.14966
2.01058
1.00000
________

7.48224/7 = 1.06889


So, a lower WP for Pikeville translates to a lower OWP for Corbin , which means a lower RPI for Corbin after the Pikeville win. RPI will make you sad just when you think you're gonna be happy. LOL
