Bowie State in a few weeks? Who ya got? Jeez a D2 school in the middle of the year? Does that hurt their SOS or does it not count?

Doesn't count, looks like they don't want a bye for some reason.

 

[StormHawk42]

As far as RPI goes, it doesn't count

 

[KuwaitHawk]

How many points are they going to spot the D2 team?

 

[Hawkeyestate81]

Go Bowie St!

Meanwhile the teams that had to play the Summit or MEAC teams get penalized for playing the teams 300+, but yet a Div 2 team can come in and the team they are playing is not penalized. What part of that makes any sense. RPI is a flipping joke.

Not bad idea with a long layoff.

I think the part of it that makes any sense is that every program knows the rules beforehand as to what games will count in RPI, and what games won't.

edit: it won't count on their W-L record either in the eyes of the NCAA committee, etc. It's basically an exhibition game.
