RPI? Road wins?

RPI still exists. It's a simple formula that factors in a team's record, it's opponent's record and it's opponent's opponent's records.
I know at some point SPK posted that our RPI was worse than our NET (that can happen when your P6 opponents underachieve).
Road and neutral site games are absolutely still a factor to the Selection Committee. They look at something like that closely because there are no home games in the tournament. Just as they tend to scrutinize performance against quality opponents closely. Outside the handful of auto bids, even NCAA team will likely be top 75 (or better) NET.

As I understand it the fact that there are no home games in the tournament has nothing to do with why road games are a factor. It is simply because it is more difficult to win away from home, so it is a legitimate differentiator among teams with otherwise similar resumes (i.e., a team that has won more on the road is likely better).
