BRIDGEPORT, Pa. — For fans of statistics, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) made available the organization’s 2024 Rating Percentage Index (RPI) calculations for the women’s water polo season through games of April 28/the conclusion of the conference championship weekend.
In its current formulation, the index comprises a team’s winning percentage (25%), its opponents’ winning percentage (50%), and the winning percentage of those opponents’ opponents (25%). The opponents’ winning percentage and the winning percentage of those opponents’ opponents both comprise the strength of schedule (SOS). Thus, the SOS accounts for 75% of the RPI calculation and is 2/3 its opponents’ winning percentage and 1/3 its opponents’ opponents’ winning percentages.
