So...We've played or will play both. They both count the same for (2) opponent's win pct. OSU's goes up and doesn't hurt us as bad, and Texas's goes down which balances that out.

They are both on the road, so no difference there.

It's a lot different than the Sagarin Ratings that factor in quality of wins. If what you mean is that it hurts us in terms of national perception or quality of wins for the tournament committee, that might be true.

RCJGKU !
but doesn't the team rankings effect their overall RPI


they always talk about quality wins in the RPI system

winning a game against a top 10 team is a bonus


not really sure how it all works though
