(Note:  RPI and SOS may be a little different than the “official” ratings, but 
they will actually be more realistic for a couple reasons.  The NCAA has no rules 
in how they account for off site games.  Sometimes they call them home games if a 
team is close to home, sometimes they won’t.  Since they don’t tell, you have to 
guess.  For example, Mich St playing N Carolina in Detroit.  It isn’t really a home 
game but the NCAA counts it as a home game.  It isn’t really a neutral game either.  
I count it in between those two.  In the data above, it would be a RoadAdv game for 
Mich St.  Also, they don’t count Div 1 transitional teams.  I count them as soon as 
they play a Div 1 schedule since it can be quantified.  That changes the SOS slightly 
which changes the RPI as well.  It makes for a better RPI.  Playing Seattle U, a 
transitional team in 2009/10, is better than playing Tex Pan American.  They should be 
counted if they are playing a Div 1 schedule.  The calculations for RPI and SOS are
exactly the same method they use, the numbers are just slightly better.
