RBI is from baseball. It means runs batted in.
You must mean RPI, which is a basketball team's Rating Percentage Index. It essentially tells you how tough their schedule is based on the difficulty level of their opponents.
The basic RPI formula is 1/4*(Winning Percentage) + 1/2*(Opponents' Average Winning Percentage) + 1/4*(Opponents' Opponents' Winning Percentage)
If your husband is kind and loving then he will greatly appreciate you asking him these questions. It gives him an opportunity to know about something and share it with you.

You probably mean RPI or Rating Percentage Index. It is a method of ranking college basketball teams that factors in the quality of a certain team's opponents.
Here's a website that can teach much more than I.

there are no RBI's in basketball, that is in baseball.
RPI is the strength of the schedule of a particular team.if the RPI is a large number, the strength of the schedule wasn't very hard. if the RPI is low, then the schedule was hard.
OHIO STATE had a number 2. and they are still a number 1!
