On a side note did anyone see the Gosnell brothers playing for Virginia tech in win against Wake. Steven had 6 catches and I know Benji had one. Hope the Mt Airy guys do well up there next few years.

Got a feeling when mt Airy goes on the road they going to hammer some team
we went thru this last year; the resurgence of Swain has added a wrinkle
Rville/Swain and MH/Draughn winners have the most to gain/lose in seeding. MA/ER/NR will likely remain right where they are.
Show me proof that all I talk about is how good robbinsville is. I really doubt you could find one post that says that but your mental so it's a mute point.
I can't figure out why "this crap" as you said would piss off anyone. I could say team 1 and team 2 to discuss this. It's nothing to do with MA.

I think ER could take 3rd in rpi. That would be a 2 seed in playoffs.
I better not say the name of the team ER would jump in the rpi.
Eh…
ER might get a bump especially playing an undefeated orange/blue team last game of season
Ok guys I’m tired. Going to watch Astros/Rangers. 2A posters are arguing over strength of schedule. Sound familiar? For the last time, out of my fingers anyway, strength of schedule is not included in NCHSAA RPI rankings. Y’all can bash system all y’all want. It might be on way out as some have suggested but again if you look at end results, not seeds but how teams at top of RPI finish, it gets pretty dang close. Have a good night everyone and see y’all in another thread.
You done been told last years state championship has nothing to do with this year do you not get that????

As you have said many times, if you don't like my post put me on ignore or this is a message board to voice your opinion on ! Are you the leader of the pack now ? Also, why do so many always say that the State Champion team is always the #1 team until they are beaten ?

My point was all you see is the sos on MaxPreps what I want to know is when you have 3 undefeated teams and all you are told by the ranking system is their SOS and the team with the worst sos is ranked higher so I just want to want else go into the ranking? Why be secret about it? It maybe the greatest system of all time but know one but MaxPreps knows what it is. You just think it or another system is better because it agrees with your opinion so basically you want an opinion pole.
And like it or not every system uses wp then owp+ oowp for sos no matter who's it's just how the only two variables are used it comes down to what math formula you put them in.
Looks like you'd be happy wether you agree with the rpi or not if maxpreps was still use for seeding Robbinsville would be traveling at some point in the playoffs. Mt Airy should be the ones who hate it.
Yeah like I said in my option Mt Airy is the best but let's say you have a year were you really don't know and you have a undefeated team in a really tuff conference plus schedules really tuff non-conference teams to play then you have another undefeated team you just played cupcakes teams all season then should that team be ranked higher then the other team? How else would could you measure which one should be ranked higher shouldn't the first team be rewarded for playing the harder schedule?

fan and the rpi is a fair representation for seedings. The teams with the tougher schedules should be rewarded. ER were good hosts last year but I wish we could play them for Western Finals and not any earlier. Several teams in the West could win it all. #beatelkin

I agree Rville might be traveling if we used MaxPreps depends.
Even still I like it much better. Has ZERO to do with opinion poll.
Rip is a joke. You not going convince me.
SOS>rpi.
BK Good morning. Man you never sleep…I agree Rville might be traveling if we used MaxPreps depends.

Sorry we can’t convince you that your almighty, subjective sos is not a good thing. You have put your foot down huh? That’s a very open minded thing to do. I said I wasn’t coming back to this thread didn’t I? It’s partly because I like your way of thinking, for the most part, except for your stubbornness on this.
Again get some sleep man!
Strength of schedule is just someone's opinion. Rpi much more honest.
Then what is their formula. Rpi we know. In my opinion it can't be your schedule. There is only two good teams on your schedule so far and that is Mt Heritage and Rabun Gap.
So if a defending state champ doesn't win a game the next year then they should still be the #1 seed bc what they did the year before. Come on man.........
Bigger problem is 5 rounds in playoffs for football is a joke! Too many teams get in that shouldnt. Its all about money! State did away with 11 game season and endowment game but added game to playoffs......so they still get the money! Should kept 11 game season and went to 32 team playoff instead of 64.
Who is? Don't say Murphy bc they aren't as good as Heritage imo. East surry?

Yes but we also read all the other stuff that he and the rest of the Kool Aid crowd put forth.
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 better than RPI. MA and Draughn are two examples of teams that should be higher (last year and this year).
Why not use the Simmons ratings/formula in the future. Fact is guys we have no idea of what next year will bring bc there may no longer be a NCHSAA! It may become NCHSL RAN BY THE STATE GOV.
Prove your not a liar.
Show us what you are referring to.
You are the 2nd one .
Back up your lie with a post.
Doesn't matter if I can or can not convince you that it is a type of sos anymore than someone doesn't believe 2+2=4 facts are facts. And what I mean by a type is were 2+2 is a fixed equation sos isn't but they all use owp & oowp. Look at NCAA's sosI agree Rville might be traveling if we used MaxPreps depends.
Even still I like it much better. Has ZERO to do with opinion poll.
Rip is a joke. You not going convince me.
SOS>rpi.
2*(owp)+(oowp)÷3 the difference is rpi uses
30%(owp)+40%(oowp) and usually matches up to maxpreps or anyone else's sos.
But I do agree when you add in wp for rankings that they give to big a percentage to the oowp and they should lower the oowp to 20% and wp to 40%.
But you can't compare to different systems of which one looks more fair when one of them complete formula is unknown.
MA plays 4 teams ranked worse than #337.
Rville lowest rank team is alleghany at #266.
MA plays 6 teams ranked #266 or worse.
Rville 10 opponents average rank is 169.
MA is 272.
Why would you even bring up SOS if your from MA.

I'd like to see Murphy vs MH or Mitchell, would be some good games to watch.
It is hard to stay away. lol, I have said I was not coming back, and I have seen others say the same but seems most always come back if you keep reading the boards. I said this time I was not going to post as much, and I used to post probably 10 times a day on different threads or post my own threads. I have cut way back on my postings. Good luck to your team until and if they play Mount Airy.
Again without knowing how they got there wether the results are better becomes just an opinion.
But we're just beating a dead horse we'll just have to agree to disagree and when it was MAXPREPS I remember people complaining about it so in the end it doesn't matter because nchsaa doesn't care what we think and teams just have to play within the system they have and no matter what win on the field.
shows how much this guy watched football. SMC in the past 7 year has been in 5 state championship games and guess what they won all 5 of those state championships with 3 different teams just because we have not been in a state title the past 2 years doesn't mean it is dead. SMC probably has the roughest road than anyone in the state. Not saying no other team is good just the type of style we play. By the time playoffs roll around everyone beat up hurt but they still find a way to win. We night hate each other during conference play but we pull for each other. comes playoff time unless we play each other.
I said an undefeated state championship team. Read it again before jumping on my case !
