Now that we are into January, I think there is enough data to start this thread up.
For those who haven't seen this before, every game played is assigned a point value dependent on home/neutral/road, and OW%. The win percentages are set up in four tiers of 75 and up, 50 to under 75, 25 to under 50, and less than 25. For example, a road win against a team who has a 55% win record gets 20 points, where a home loss to a team who is 45% gets only 3 points. Possible points range from 0 (home loss to team under 25%) to 23 (road win to team over 75%).
These point values are then averaged to get a PI for each team.
As more games are played and win% changes, scores adjust for all past opponents. So if your past opponents start playing better and move up a tier on win%, you'll get 3 more points for that particular game added to that score which gets averaged in to your overall number.
Only NCAA DII games are included in these tabulations.
And, as a reminder, this is not my system - it's one created by the NCAA several years ago, and was one of the criteria for tournament selection (among many other criteria). It's not the gospel truth for determining seeding, but has historically been very close to it.
It's possible (incredibly likely) that the site I copy my data from has some errors or omissions throughout the season. If you ever notice something looks off, please bring it to my attention and I'll fix it.
