Not sure the change is going to do much. The math does not change at all. All the MCAA is doing is collating the same exact data in a different way. But if you are doing your job, nothing the new breakdowns will tell you is something you didn't already know or should know and have already been considering I'm your team evaluations. I suppose in a literal sense it's progress but I see it as relabeling soda pop as carbonated beverages. A good win isn't what the NCAA math says, it's what the selection member thinks and says. The data is just a tool. Whether it carves fine granite is up to those holding the tool. You can argue the RPI formula is flawed and fix the math. But rearranging deck chairs won't yield much. What's to prevent a committee member from nullifying a quality win with their evaluating as they do now? Not much. They are jurors. Jurors can decide whatever they like for any reason they like despite the evidence.
