Ok, I finished with all of the data, the results are in.
-----Alpha Average RPI-----
:::::::::::::::::98.35:::::::::::::::::
-----Zeta Average RPI-----
::::::::::::::::98.48::::::::::::::::
I'm not going to disclose each teams individual RPI because of how big a part the Spreads are to the formula, but I will tell you this. The method I use for measuring the accuracy of my RPI's is to enter my prediction for each conferences playoff teams, and then see how closely it matches to my predictions (8 and under ranking in conference obviously being a playoff team). Here are my matchings.
Alpha: 6/8 teams matched my prediction with RPI
Zeta: 7/8 teams matched my prediction with RPI (the only team @SPART missed was the Samoa Flying Foxes, who were ranked 9th in Zeta) aka missed by one.
I'm very happy with the rankings so far, and they should become even more accurate as the season goes on.
