D-II/D-III Tier II RPI Power Ratings (3/8/98).

          The RPI rating system ranks 25 mostly D-III teams based
          on the RPI (Ratings Percentage Index) used by the NCAA
          D-I selection committee.

          The RPI formula for each team is:
          (.35 x winning %) +
          (.50 x opponent's winning % excluding games with that opponent) +
          (.15 x opponent's opponents winning % excluding games with
          that opponent)

          Only games against opponents in the 25-team pool are included. Forfeits 
           are not included.
