    Andrews at Hayesville

    On the first question, no Andrews would not be ahead of Hayesville with a win. They could move up a couple spots, though. For Hayesville, with a win they might be able to pass the MH-Draughn loser. The difference in W-L impact would help a fair amount, but OWP would be working against them...

    The Official RPI Thread (post updates here)

    The fact that we know and understand the RPI formula is proof that it’s too simple to give a true picture of where teams stack up. While I don’t know or understand everything that goes into the maxpreps or Simmons models, I can look at the results and tell with 100% certainty that they are far...
