There must be a reason why the NCAA isn't releasing the details of this metric. Its performance looks even worse than RPI at this point.
Highly biased by preseason rankings? Not only were they unranked, Pitt was (is?) considered a laughingstock and at least a 3 year rebuild by Coach Capel. They are now 6-0, with wins over pre-season A-10 favorite St. Louis in Brooklyn (2X bonus points!), plus 5 cupcakes. And that team is ranked number 23?
There is a reason why the NCAA isn't releasing the details of this metric: student privacy rights, corporate partner contractual obligations, or the price of bagels in Oklahoma, take your pick. Those clowns wouldn't release their Chinese takeout order for lunch without a subpoena.
This silliness is the same thing as April statistics in baseball. "If Francisco Cervelli continues at his current pace, he would hit .444 with 80 home runs and 200 RBI." Have fun with it, and enjoy it while it lasts!
