How did I arrive at this?
Each team receives points for wins:
8 for a win over a top 25 RPI team, 5 for a 26-50, 3 for a 51-100, 2 for a 101-200, 1 for a sub-200, 0 for a non-DI
Then subtract for losses:
1 for a loss to a top 25 RPI team, 2 for a 26-50, 3 for a 51-100, 5 for a 101-200, 8 for a sub-200, 13 for a non-DI
Then subtract the team's RPI rank and half of its conference RPI rank
Let's do an example....
Maryland has no wins over top 25 for 0, two over 26-50 for 10, one over 51-100 for 3, three over 101-200 for 6, and eight over sub-200 for 8.
That makes 27.
The Terps two losses were both to top 25s, so that's -2 to make 25
They have an RPI of 26, so 25 - 26 = -1 and the ACC is #1 in CRPI so we subtract .5 to make a grand total of -1.5.
In comparison, the weakest #1 seed, LSU, has a grand total of 49.5. The last at-large team in, California, has a grand total of -27.5
The team RPI penalty is capped at 100. That should only affect the automatic bid teams in the 12-16 seed range.
The lowest RPI team to get an at large this time is Virginia at #47.
In the event of a tie, the total before any RPI modification is used.
If still tied, the total with the team RPI modifier but not the CRPI modifier is used.
Many teams got moved across brackets at the same seed to avoid facing conference opponents too early in the tournament.
Occasionally teams may need to be moved up or down one seed for the same purpose, this projection has only one such change.
Wyoming got bumped down from a #9 to a #10 and South Florida got moved up from #10 to #9.
