The NCAA is going to experiment with other metrics to supplement or replace the dreaded RPI....
But the RPI, long criticized by modern analysts as an outdated measuring stick because it fails to consider margin of victory or location, had been the only official metric endorsed by the NCAA to date.
Entering Thursday's rivalry game at Gonzaga, Saint Mary's was ranked 46th by RPI, 17th by ESPN's BPI, 41st by ESPN's Strength of Record, 23rd by Sagarin, 19th by KenPom.com and 51st by KPI.
