Based on that example, shouldn't criteria 3 be different?
If wrestler A loses to 3 guys with statistically equal or better records, and wrestler B's losses were to statistically worse opponents, wouldn't wrestler B have a slightly lower RPI because of those losses?
I barely passed the required stats class (go liberal arts!), but I would imagine that statistically better would carry more weight than statistically worse.
If it doesen't, then no one sholud complain about the alooted qualifiers from the previous system. Because then technically, you could have a few tiers of wrestlers with all the same RPI's. especially if programs start decreasing.
Or I could go put my english degree to good use and leave the math to Adults.
