We are a couple weeks in, so this isn’t the model the khsaa wants to put out right now. At the end of the year the rpi will work itself out just like it did in 2019, covid messed up 2020. I know the khsaa has to put it out now for the coaches and fans sake of mind, but when you look at teams that have played 3-4 games, there’s no accurate representation until way later.

It didn’t in 2019 for 1A either, it had Kentucky Day #1 all year until Paintsville went there and beat them bad now it might have in the other classes I can’t remember but I know 1A wasn’t right. The higher classes are pretty much worked out at the end but 1A and 2A will never be right because the northern part of the state 1A teams play the weak 5A and 6A teams and gets the big jump in RPI points just like this year so they will always be ahead of the mountains teams.

That was 2020 with covid, 2019 was pikeville paintsville and i’m pretty sure they were the best two teams in the class outright.

They were the 2 best teams but not in the RPI rankings. KCD 1 Pikeville 2 LHC 3 Paintsville 4 
This was 2019.

My personal complaint is that the 1A numbers will always be skewed due to geography. Your eastern teams simply cannot play enough weak 5A/6A schools to stay in the mix for the top spot. Your Louisville area schools are taking full advantage of this and it shows.
