RPI isn't a predictor and was never intended to be, but it could easily and dramatically be improved .

#1. Fix the out-of-state issue. Count them correctly and their opponents wins and also slot them in whatever class they would be in Kentucky.
#2. Stop exaggerating the class bonuses. Right now a 6a team counts as a little more than 2.6 wins. Each class should get only a .1 bump. More of a tiebreaker than anything. example
1A = 1.1
2A = 1.2
3A = 1.3
4A = 1.4
5A = 1.5
6A = 1.6 see how that would be way better than counting 6a as 2.6?
#3. Add a home-field advantage. example .9 for a home win and -1.1 for a home loss. Inverse for the road team. 1.1 for a road win and .9 for a road loss. Nothing dramatic but again more of a tie-breaker and an improvement. (the .1 is added or subtracted to the numbers in #2 by the way.
#4. Last but not least a 25 point capped margin of victory and opponents margin of victory. 25 gives you a 50 point range that can be converted into % and added as categories in the RPI.
So to calculate we are still using basic math and free equations that are a big improvement, not Calpreps good as a predictor, but free and improved.
Using the current ratio that KHSAA already uses as 50% and MOV+OMOV as the other 50%. Easy peasy.
