Oh, I know “why” it is happening- just not how!

RPI is not the solution to keeping the better teams from being eliminated that it was promised to be.

Disagree completely.  RPI has done exactly what it was designed to do, teams have to learn how to schedule for the RPI and win the games they need to with the RPI.


Out of State classification for RPI, yes that needs fixed.

What??? .  If you agree that the way the RPI factors out of state competition then the RPI is not doing “exactly what it was designed to do”.   The RPI is broke when it comes to out of state competition and when it comes teams benefiting from a weak assed schedule.    No way should Central, who beat CAL head to head and won their district, have to go on the road in the 3rd round only play CAL again.    I can see them having to go on the road potentially….but not to play a team they’ve defeated.      The RPI also over-values win against teams with gaudy records who have played no one.  

 typically the best teams still find their way to Kroger Field…..just saying there are times the teams are advancing despite the RPI.

The same scenario happened to Lexington Catholic in 2022 when they beat Boyle County in the regular season to win the district championship but because of the RPI, had to travel to Boyle in the quarterfinals. I'm not saying Lexington Catholic would have won again but there is a huge difference between playing at home vs at Boyle County in the playoffs especially when you have earned that right by beating that team earlier in the year. The system is broken when you win a district title but still have to travel to play the team you beat in the playoffs.
