Notes on this page:
The NCAA Selection Committee receives what's called a "Nitty-Gritty" report on each team to help them with selection and seeding for the NCAA Tournament. Much of information on that report is duplicated here.

I have included current conference leaders and teams ranked in the top 105, and omitted teams currently under .500 unless they lead their conference. No such team has ever been invited to the tournament as an at-large team. Ineligible teams are also not listed.

* - Conference Champion/Current Leader. During the regular season, I define the current conference leader to be the team with the fewest conference losses, using the RPI as a tiebreaker. Once conference tournament seeding is determined, I use the highest remaining seed in the conference tournament.

"Road" is true road games only, as defined by the NCAA, and "NC" is neutral court games.

Except for the column labeled "ND1", which is a team's record vs non-Division I opponents, all records reflect games between Division I teams only.

How is this page different from the committee's Nitty-Gritty report?

  • The committee's report lists every team.
  • The committee's report does not include raw RPI numbers, just rankings.
  • The conference RPI ranking on the committee's report is the RPI ranking of that team's conference. Mine is the team's RPI ranking including only conference games.
  • The committee's report shows a team's record vs the top 50 collectively. Mine shows it broken down by 1-25, 26-50.
  • The committee's report has a column for a team's total record vs the top 100.
  • The committee's report does not list neutral court records, but does show the average RPI ranking of the team's opponents and that team's ranking in that category.
