This was coming since MBB made the switch, and RPI was a really poor metric anyway, but how come it isn't the same as the men's algorithm? I really wonder what this machine learning algorithm is really doing. The cynical side of me says they can just use it as an excuse to make the picks come out however the big schools want. Hopefully not the case.
