How the BPI is calculated

The BPI is short for Strength of Schedule which is a major factor in the NCAA’s decision process for the men’s college Basketball Tournament selection. The team’s BPI is a measure of its relative strength based on how it has performed against its schedule. The key components to the BPI are:
* A team’s winning percentage
* The winning percentage of a team’s opponents
* The winning percentage of a team’s opponents’ opponents

Why the BPI is a good indicator of success

The BPI (Basketball Power Index) is a metric created by ESPN to measure team strength in college basketball It takes into account factors like margin of victory, Strength of Schedule and recent performance. The BPI is a good indicator of success because it measures a team’s overall strength, not just its recent results.

How the BPI has changed over the years

Since its inception in 2011, the BPI has undergone several changes. The biggest change came in 2012, when the NCAA began using RPI data as part of its criteria for selecting and seeding teams for the NCAA Tournament This resulted in a significant change in the way the BPI was calculated, and led to a more accurate ranking of teams.

In recent years the BPI has been relatively stable, with only minor changes being made to the formula. The most recent change came in 2015, when offensive and defensive efficiency were given equal weight in the calculation. This had a small but noticeable impact on the rankings, with some teams moving up or down by a few spots.
