Football 2A RPI Thread

[MoDean]

Lost meaning got destroyed? What you’re doing is elevating Tarboro by saying that they beat a bunch of world beaters. They beat some good but not great teams and lost to a team that’s good but not great. How do you figure Warren County and Edenton couldn’t do the same? Rocky Mount beat Nash Central 27-0. We beat them 44-0. Rocky Mount beat Vance 45-6. We beat them 55-12, with their last touchdown scored at the end of the game when we had 9 players on the field but the refs refused to give us a timeout because he said the game was over. I’m trying to understand your position.

Here's what you have to understand.....Every year, some team pops up out the toilet and starts popping their lips together about how underrated they are, and how they outscored some team by this much, and how great their defense is, and this year, it's Warren..And the Vikes gonna flush the toilet again. You've played one team with a pulse, and just can't understand why the ratings stand like they are? If y'all played Tarboro's schedule y'all would have 3, maybe 4 losses.. If Warren and the Vikes play, the game thread will be entertaining....

I understand yall are spoiled but yall really need a reality check. I just explained in an earlier post why the teams Tarboro beat in the non conference arent world beaters. Im not going to repeat that here. And your conference is weak this year. 3 or 4 losses is silly. But at this point i guess we will just have to let it play out. I cant say for certain we will get past Edenton but I know that we will give Tarboro a game this year if that game happens. I really hope it does. Either way I think yall will face a real challenge this year.

 

[WCEagle]

it’s simple, Because they are playing other sorry teams.

Speaking of sorry did Farmville Central and Greene Central play a basketball game Friday night? Do they play any defense in the Eastern Plains Conference?

lol you got it man. I’m not gonna argue about it anymore. You will get your answer in a few weeks. I’ve watched a couple of your games and all I will say is film don’t lie. We will talk around Thanksgiving.

We will see wont we. Thats why they play the games on the field and not on here.

Assuming Tarboro and Holmes both win this week, my understanding is that Tarboro gets the 1 seed if Hunt and Northampton both win. If either one loses, I think that opens the door for Holmes to get the 1 seed.

I may be overlooking something with the opponents’ opponents portion of RPI. Anybody else worked through the numbers?

I feel if havelock can beat Northside, that’ll certainly help too.

That’s true. Same with Rocky Mount against Northern - but I think they both have extreme uphill battles.

I like havelocks chances more than Rm. maybe one of them pulls off the upset

I hear you typing on your keyboards. Like I said we will see.

I thought Tarboro's non conference opponents were world beaters. Surely they wont all lose will they? Lmao

Both have tough schedules. Nobody said tarboro's non-conference opponents were world beaters. But I do know that they have the number three ranked toughest schedule in all of 2a football. Simmons ratings has that stat. Warren county has the 35th. Warren county is a good team and is having a great run.

 

[vikandpirate4christ]

yea, let's compare non-conference schedules. I don't think anyone said we were playing state champions in the non-conference, but to compare who we have played to you all have played is pure comedy, we won't even get to your conference.

 

[vikandpirate4christ]

I've never seen so much confidence, and speaking out against a team who has delivered two very lopsided victories, 110-0 to be exact. I'm glad you guys are having a good year, but again, it's showing that you all haven't had much success before, and no, your last two teams were not good.

Haha, man, come on. You brought up Simmons Ratings the other day, so let’s take a closer look at what his numbers actually show.

The highest-rated team Warren County has played is South Granville at 100.9. Tarboro has played five teams rated higher than that.

Warren County’s average opponent rating on Simmons is 71.74, while Tarboro’s is 98.39. That means, on average, Tarboro’s opponents are rated nearly 27 points higher than Warren County’s.

Simmons currently has Warren County rated at 123.1. Tarboro has already played three teams rated higher than that: Rocky Mount, Hunt, and Havelock. So your comment the other day about Warren County going undefeated against Tarboro’s schedule is really just a personal opinion, and the numbers don’t necessarily support it.

At the end of the day, none of these ratings or comparisons will decide who’s the better team. That’ll be settled on the field.

But if we’re going to talk about strength of schedule, let’s at least be consistent. You can’t make jokes about Tarboro playing a weak schedule while ignoring the level of competition Warren County has faced.

I never said Tarboro played a weak schedule. They have definitely played a stronger schedule than us, although we played 6A, 5A, 5A, 4A, and 4A. What i have been saying is that Tarboro fans are acting like yall played Murderers row and I am questioning that. Hunt is very good, despite being trounced by N Nash. N Nash is on a different level. Yall lost to them. Rocky Mount is suspect the way they got embarrassed by Hunt. SWE is Tarboro's little brother. That game is won before it starts. And Havelock is not what they normally are. And the Eastern Plains 2A/3A is weak. Noboby in that conference other than Tarboro could beat us. So yes your schedule is tougher than ours but Im trying to give it some context. We play all the bigger schools in our area. Franklinton declined to play us because they said it was a no win situation for them. If they won they would get no credit and if they lost they would look bad. Maybe next year we need to branch out farther away. And I wish the NCHSAA had kept Wilson Prep in our conference. The way they recruit they are always a challenge.

Im not speaking out against Tarboro. I have said over and over that Tarboro is great. They are the standard. I am speaking against this idea that somehow the three good teams yall beat this year, Rocky Mount, SWE, and Havelock are so wonderful. Thats all I have been saying. You are misconstruing what I have been saying.

Conference is trash. But Eastern Plains 2A/3A is very down this year so this not the year to be talking about conference strength.

I would still take the Eastern plains over the conference y'all are in respectfully. I'm also fairly confident the other teams in this conference other than beddingfield and Ayden , would score on Warren county.

Actually I agree. Eastern Plains is down but is still much better than our league. Partly due to the schools being bigger but overall just better. And I also agree we wouldn't shut out most of those teams. I actually wish they had put us in a better league. Competition sharpens you for the playoffs.
