Thanks slick,

Anyone know of any way to look at old MLB schedules and see what a team's RPI was at any given time? Where is Justin7?

You can either program or pay someone to program a web scraper that would pull the data from those sites and store it in a database. You can then run queries on your data and get the information you need. RPI is a fairly generic formula that follows a 25/50/25 calculation:

25%: Team's winning percentage.
50%: Opponents' winning percentage
25%: Opponents' opponents' winning percentage

Note that for NCAAB, they use a weighted system for home/away wins and losses.

For NCAAB, road wins are 1.4 wins, losses are 0.6. Home wins are 0.6 wins, losses are 1.4. You can also derive the strength of schedule (SOS) from the bottom two factors in the RPI.

For SOS, it would be calculated as:

2/3: Opponents' win percentage.
1/3: Opponents' opponents' win percentage
