RPI vs Erik Packard Rankings

2/20/17

With RPI the official computer rankings system now being used by CHSAA, we thought it would be a good idea to test the RPI against another well-known computer ranking system here in Colorado the Erik Packard Rankings. The EPR has been well known and trusted by many people and coaches across the state. BasketballColorado did a feature about the EPR during 2016 which can be found here .

Two worthy computer rankings and two very different outcomes. While some would prefer the EPR rankings, there are plenty of others that would prefer the RPI.
