Once the total bonus points have been calculated they are divided by the total weighting of all games played per the RPI calculation (with road wins/home losses weighted with a factor of 1.2 and home wins/road losses weighted with a factor of 0.8). The resulting Quality Wins Bonus (QWB) is added to the original RPI to obtain the final RPI for each team. This is the value to be used in comparing any two teams, along with the other selection criteria.
Now, there are 2 parts:
1 question is: would you still get QWB from a removed game? This seems a bit irrelevant, seeing that any win against a team with a high enough RPI to get QWB pts won't be removed, so
moving on to 2) It seems you add all the QWB pts, and then divide by a #ofgames calculation. Obviously, the home/road weighting is in effect with this calculation. The part not spelled out is: Do you count games that were removed from the RPI calculation because of neg effect even though you won?
As an example, Minny has a win against Mercyhurst which is removed from the sched when calculating RPI. Do you count 0.8 for that game when deciding what number to divide the QWB by?
This is the question, and the answer does not seem to be explicit.
