BPI and How it works?

[big red22]

If this needs to be in another thread I apologize.  So I am looking at the BPI on ESPN and it is driving nuts.  Can someone explain how it is remotely possible for Creighton to be ranked 34 currently sitting at 8-5 with wins over Kansas and Villanova.  While Nebraska beat them by 11 at there house is sitting at 38.  Nebraska is 10-2 with win @Creighton, @Hawaii, Indiana and Oregon State on a neutral court.  I get it Kansas is good, but overall Nebraska has the head up road win by double digits.  They have more quality wins, 3 less losses than Creighton and I think losing to Georgetown by 24 at a bare minimum offsets the one blunder on our resume @Michigan State

 

Yes this is directed at Creighton, but my question is...

 

What is the BPI metrics? 

 

Whatever it is, is extremely flawed and should not be used come tournament time.

I don't think anyone takes BPI seriously.

Straight from the horse's mouth.

The BPI rankings are crap, although it is interesting to look at sometimes. 

 

The best ones by far are, KenPom, Bart Torvik, and Walter Nolan.

BPI is part of the team sheets the committee uses, however. So you can’t completely ignore that.
