2786300, If anything, it'd likely lead to *more* upsets imo.

>does RPI lead to less upsets this year due to seeding changes?
It's far more disconnected from actual team strength than KenPom or Quads or anything else.
Some notable RPI rankings, to show how far they differ from reality:
Utah State: 13
Memphis: 15
Boise State: 18
VCU: 19
Oral Roberts: 21
UConn: 26
Kansas State: 27
Creighton: 45
Iowa State: 46
Kentucky: 48
It would've had Maryland out of the field, Pittsburgh out of the field, TCU out of the field, Northwestern out of the field, etc.
So you'd have teams that lost in the first round as 7 through 10 seeds... as 4 and 5 seeds. You'd have a team like Kansas State around the 6 or 7 line, a team like Creighton around the 10 or 11 line.
I'm telling you, the RPI is crazy, lol.
