This class is so stacked in a few districts it’s ridiculous or this schedule would be even worse.

Thanks so much. So Corbin will have four home games and then the state final against Boyle? That's kinda what I was thinking just wasn't sure who the third and fourth game opponent would be.

That's only if the playoffs started today. You are right that Corbin will have 4 home games as long as we win out, but I'm not sold on Boyle being the top RPI just yet either. If they lose one game, after a Math guru just told me, then it all changes. Boyle is at there highest RPI right now, they will lose points every week. Wait and see. Corbin will climb every week. By the end of the last night like always we will know for sure who is on top. But if Boyle wins out, they will stay where they are at, the top. But I wouldn't rule Corbin out as the #1 seed until its set in stone.

Bull, how would Corbin being the #1 seed instead of Boyle affect Corbin's playoff path(if at all) ?

Honestly, this is a unusual year with the heavy hitters in the top 5. They have a loss or two and a lower RPI than normal other than Boyle. Being number 1 just means you will play the lowest RPI in both of the 3rd, 4th round games. Like last year as a example, Boyle played teams in round 3 and 4 and won by a margin of 30 plus points, well maybe they had one game cancelled due to covid but it probably would have been like that too. Then Johnson Central being the #2 seed last year had to play at home Corbin, Franklin County and then Boyle County. So it really makes your path a little easier to get to Kroger in most years. But like TDHounds said, you need to be able to beat anyone to be a champion. Thats usually what I have seen since the RPI has been in play and thats how Class 4A has seemed to work out so far. This year the sad thing is, a unusual suspect could get in the mix and with the big teams having more losses than normal, you could see for example like a Boyle/Franklin or Central as well if they stay the top seed. But who knows, we all will know after week 10. It just makes for good bologna sandwiches and passing out water till then lol.
