I'd rather a 2 loss Mississippi State team prove they are legit. Florida is good enough that it won't drop back too far in any of the rankings. But Miss state could really plummet due to their bad SOS |

“We consulted with experts within the coaching and analytics fields who looked at historical data, based on winning percentages by game location, to come up with these dividing lines within each of the columns,” said Mark Hollis, the director of athletics at Michigan State and the current chair of the committee. “The emphasis of performing well on the road is important, as was the need for teams not to be penalized as much for road losses. Beating elite competition, regardless of the game location, will still be rewarded, but the committee wanted the team sheets to reflect that a road game against a team ranked 60th is mathematically more difficult and of higher quality than a home game versus a team ranked 35th. We feel this change accomplishes that.” |

The bolded part says that teams are punished for losses, and that the new groups mean the punishment is less for a road loss. Earlier you said the committee doesn't measure losses at all. This isn't just a discussion about Florida, it's about wins, losses and RPI in general. The committees words indicate that it absolutely matters what group your losses are in.

I just used rpi forecast to predict what a win and loss would mean for either team. Florida Current Rpi: #49 If win: 33 If lose: 58 Miss state: Current rpi: 65 If win: 31 If lose: 53 With a win it puts Mississippi state on the cusp of being a tier 1 win. If they lose it’s a tier 2 like it is now. I’ll take my chances on adding another tier 1 win every single time. Tier 1 vs tier 1 loss is not really debatable |

The just won against a ranked team last week. Wouldn't say lost cause when they're 1-1 in the conference. Still 16 More games to play.

I’m not saying that losses don’t count, I’m saying I’ll take a good win over a good loss and those two things are playing out in the miss state Florida game. We should want Xavier and Florida to win every game except games where they play teams we beat. And potential also takes a factor in my decision to pick miss state. Miss state winning gives them more potential towards being a tier 1 win. The best Florida can be for us Is a tier 1 loss. A tier 1 loss won’t help us but also won’t hurt us. Miss state reaching becoming a tier 1 win is still on the table and would hugely help us out. |
