I don’t believe that to be the case. In March 2015, Colorado State was 27-6 with an RPI of 29. They were not selected for the Big Dance. Their KenPom was 68. KenPom and other non-RPI rankings likely played a factor is the committee’s decision not to select Colorado State.
Colorado State played South Dakota State in the NIT (I believe) and lost by 10. Their final KenPom ranking was 72.
That’s just one example of when the committee considered more than just the RPI. I suspect that is increasingly the case as coaches make the case that the RPI is too primitive, and with the availability of more robust ranking systems.
Yeah because it was Colorado State. Well known fact that the committee goes back and forth betwweeen RPI and other factors to justify leaving non power conference schools out. There needs to be one set of criteria instead of multiple lists, so the committee can be held accountable.
If there was one system, we wouldn’t need a committee.
I do wonder if they look at the Massey Composite.

A week ago UAB’s ranking varied from 77 to 226.
