What is a RPI ranking?

I'm actually pretty sure it's like this:
your winning percentage * .25 +
your opponents winning percentage * .50 +
your opponents, opponents winning percentage * .25 =
your RPI
Here is the link for a detailed explanation:

It's a little bit complicated but there are three factors
1. Your winning percentage which is half of the number- this only accounts for Division I games
2. The strength of your opponents which is 25% of the number
3. The strength of schedule of your opponents opponents- another 25%- This is a factor meant more to account for non-conference schedules of your opponents.

I believe it stands for ratings percentage index. Basically they combine strength of schedule, record, and key wins among other things. It is actually a very good indicator of how good a team is.
