Commonly known as RPI, the Ratings Percentage Index is one of the rating systems whereby NCAA basketball teams are ranked. This system has been in use since 1981 to aid in selecting and seeding of the teams appearing in the 65-team men's playoffs. It has also been used to aid in the selection and seeding process for the 64-team women's tournament since its inception in 1982. The Index comprises that team's winning percentage (25%), its opponents' winning percentage (50%), and the winning percentage of those opponents' opponents (25%).

The RPI is computed each year and is used as mentioned above to attempt to evaluate which program is more successful THAT year.  Keep in mind, it is not an indicator of future performance, simply an analytical tool to determine which team/program was considered better for that particular year.  

We will be sending out the RPI ratings for the 2007-2008 college season for all in-state (Utah) teams as well as teams that our players have received scholarships in 2008 from.  We will also indicate the strengths of the various conferences that the schools play in based on the RPI ratings so you can compare the conferences.
