This is a deeply flawed system and more time and data will not make any difference. The system rewards teams for beating in state teams, regardless of class and punishes teams for playing tough out of state competition.

Trinity has easily played the strongest schedule of any Kentucky team and they are undefeated. A good RPI system would have no trouble ranking them as the top team in 6A and the top team overall.

Kentucky has too many classes and a bad playoff system. The new RPI system for seeding playoff teams has made an already bad system worse.

Compare the system to Indiana, where teams like Cathedral are rewarded for playing a tough non-district schedule because losing games to tough out of state competition has no impact on their Indiana playoff prospects. Kentucky teams will be penalized for playing teams like Cathedral because the Knights often have several losses to top teams from larger schools in Indiana and Ohio on their road to state titles.

Johnson Central and Boyle County will play schedules comparable in strength this season but JC will be penalized by the RPI for playing and beating two strong West Virginia teams on the road. But nobody will be penalized more harshly than Trinity for playing a great non-district schedule.

Agree. This system we have is ridiculous.
