The Collegiate Basketball News Men's RPI College Basketball Ratings

Through games of Monday, April 7, 2003 (End 2002-2003 Season)

CARMEL, INDIANA - The Rating Percentage Index (RPI) has been used by the NCAA since 1981 to supplement the selection of at-large teams and the seeding of all teams for the NCAA basketball tournament. This list is an independent duplication of the RPI without input from the NCAA, which does not release the RPI to the public. It is derived from three component factors: Div. I winning percentage (FI, 25%), schedule strength (FII, 50%); and opponent's schedule strength (FIII, 25%). This list does not included the adjusted RPI, which is available only to subscribers to The RPI Report. The adjusted RPI takes into account good wins, bad losses, and good and bad non-conference schedules. Games against non-Division I opponents are not used in calculating the RPI.
