    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)

    In the past, they’ve posted “preliminary” brackets by noon on Saturday, and the brackets are final by late afternoon/early evening. I don’t recall seeing things change between preliminary and final, but that’s the opportunity to find/correct any errors.

    Things Become Clearer

    I’d take maxpreps ratings over RPI as an improvement. But the biggest thing that needs to change is raising the bar for getting a champions seed from the split conferences.

    I think we are now looking at at 8 conference champ seeds in 1A west. At this point, there are 7 for sure, with two TBD: Bessemer City-if they beat Cherryville (fairly likely), they will earn a champion seed. Polk County-if they beat Brevard (not likely), they would earn a champion seed...

    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...

    Do you actually read the posts? BK literally said he thought it should be MA 1, Robbinsville 2…

    Playoff Projections

    The only question marks are Polk and Bessemer City. They each need one more win to lock in a champion seed.
