You may notice that the 'SOS' and 'RPI' columns are now noted 'wSOS' and 'wRPI'. This is to signify that these numbers are calculated as weighted numbers (using the OWP and OOWP adjustments as described in the NCAA handbook).
Keep in mind that these rankings are really just a starting point. I don't adjust the rankings to account for head-to-head matchups or common opponents or anything, so feel free to adjust as you see fit.
I'm handing out the 'A' bid to the team with the highest rating. I simply can't (and won't) go through every conference to determine the leader at this point in the season. And since the Pool A bid goes to the conference tournament champion (except in the UAA), I'm OK with this shortcut.
When the official rankings come out on Wednesdays, the NCAA will have ranked three fewer teams per region. I like to 'rank' more than they do so that we can get a picture of who might also be in the mix (not implying that my list is complete).
Enjoy.
