2021 RPI: 8.22.21 SIMULATED RPI RATINGS AND NCAA TOURNAMENT AT LARGE SELECTIONS AND SEEDS

 Below is a table showing (1) simulated full season data for teams and (2) pre-season simulated automatic qualifiers and at large selections for the NCAA Tournament.  These cover the Top 100 teams in my simulated RPI Ranks.  The simulated NCAA Tournament seeds align with teams’ RPI ranks, so RPI teams 1 to 4 are simulated #1 seeds, teams 5 to 8 are #2s, teams 9 to 12 are #3s, and teams 13 to 16 are #4s.  The table is based on the actual results of games played through August 22 and simulated results of games not yet played.

In addition, here is a link that shows the simulated data for all teams: 2021 Simulated RPI Report 8.22.21.

The earlier post, 2021 Season: Background for Upcoming Reports, has a full explanation of the simulation process, its limitations, and how to use it to consider the prospects for a team.  If you are a coach using the information to analyze your team’s prospects or otherwise have a serious interest in following the simulations, I strongly recommend you review in advance the Background post.

Here are the 8.22.21 Simulated RPI Top 100.  You will have to scroll right to see the entire table.
