Hoops Résumé Check: Could BYU actually be … in?

TEAM-BY-TEAM & PROFILE BREAKDOWN

Here is your boilerplate explanation for RPI and other ratings:

RPI (ratings percentage index) is the most well-known and prominent rating in college basketball. It may not always be the best rating, but it seems to be the most prominent one involved in the tournament selection process. So it’s important.

But to give us some more depth, we’ll look at ratings from the savant Ken Pomeroy and from Jeff Sagarin, long-time ratings calculator (and whose football ratings have been part of the BCS formula since the beginning). For a big picture number, I’ve averaged the three ratings in some places — but for the time being, RPI still remains the most important for tournament selection.

Here’s the full team-by-team and top-50/100 breakdown:
