The January 3 NCAA news reports on changes to how RPI will be used as
a tool for the 2005 basketball championships.

Changes were based on a 4 year study that shows home teams win about
2/3 of all games

They will still use the 25, 50, and 25 percentages, but now
road victories weigh 1.4 and road losses weigh 0.6
home losses weigh 1.4 and home victories weigh 0.6

The article also stated that the new weightings replace the added
bonuses or penalties for road performance and schedule strength
