Everyone knows that the media are biased. That is one of the reasons RPI came about. To try and remove bias by using statistics. The rating percentage index, commonly known as the RPI, is a quantity used to rank sports teams based upon a team's wins and losses and its strength of schedule. Of course statistics can be biased in the selection of which stats are used, and what weights are assigned to the data. Neverless, Our Beloved Ducks Baseball Team after beating Gonzaga yesterday in Spokane is now ranked #7 in the nation in RPI by D1 Baseball.

I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but you are playing behind N'Faley, Franck, Nate, and most likely incoming Kel'el Ware. I would transfer out to where I would have the opportunity of more playing time IMHO.

This year at Ohio State averaged 18.6 points, shot 48% from the field, 46.7% from long range while averaging 34.1 minutes over 30 games. Last year at Oregon she averaged half the points(9.3), 40.4% on field goals, 33.3% from beyond the arc on 24.9 minutes per game covering 24 games. Would she have been as productive at Oregon this year if she hadn't transferred?
