Okay, there are two teams that 100% equal RPI, SOS, and Win %. One is SIM-coached and the other is human-coached.

Say I play both of those teams, and win. Would the human-coached team help my RPI more than the Simmy team, or is it equal?

Sorry if my wording is difficult to understand.

Yea RPI is a mathematical so theres no way two teams can be equal no matter what but being Sim or human has no impact at all.

hmm... not sure what you are basing that first part on, but its not true. counter example: 2 teams play the same schedule (same teams, same home/away, different dates), and lose every game. or win every game.

He said they had the same record.

Now it is certainly true that the sim is more likely to lose its next game than the human, but at that point in time they are equal.

Yeah. I was going to say, I would still prefer the human because there is a greater likelihood of the record being better for the human team the rest of the way on.
