I have a question, not answer. What does the rpi's in college basketball mean?
RPI is located in the state of New York.
Yes. Houston Baptist is in a transition period to become a full Division 1 member, but the answer is yes. They are an RPI counter this year, and the Huskies are in their 2nd year transitioning back to NCAA Division 1. This transition period will be either 3 years (end after 2009-2010) or 7 years (2013-2014) pending an HBU lawsuit against the NCAA for trying to change to terms of the agreement when Houston Baptist was reinstated.

how is the rpi calculated in college basketball.
A team's Strength of Schedual is determined on a ranking of the caliber of opponents they will face that season. For example, UCONN had the #1 SOS for the 2011-12 season, as they were NCAA Champions in the 2010-2011 season. This can be basically set up pre-season. A team's RPI (Rating Percentage Index) is largly used when March Madness is beginning. The committee who sets up the seeding will look at each team's RPI to determine their seed. The RPI includes Quality Wins, the strength of their conference, and basically the strength of their schedual. So in a way, they are similar, but SOS is involved in the RPI calculations.
A high RPI (Rating Percentage Index) indicates a stronger team or player performance compared to a low RPI. Teams with a high RPI are typically ranked higher and considered more successful.
Yes, a high RPI can influence the tournament selection committees selection for the tournament teams.
In college basketball, SOS means 'Strength of Schedule.' This basically means that, using formulas that the NCAA uses (national ranking, RPI, where they played etc.), how good were the opponents that a team played during the season.
