When I did my analysis for the Top 20 Programs for the last 20 years, one of the categories that I would have like to use was the number of wins and losses over larger or smaller teams, but I did not have that data for the years 1992-1997. I would have used a system for ranking the teams in that category similar to the Harbin System that is used for the OHSAA football playoffs. For example, under that system, during 2002, Boyle County (3a in 2002) would have received 4 points for a win over Henry Clay (class 4A in 2002) while receiving only 1 point for a win over Danville (Class A in 2002). This would have rewarded a team for "playing up." At the same time had Henry Clay beaten BC, they would have received 3 points for the win but a -1 for the loss (losing down one class).

I feel that that would add another dimension to the equation.

With the KHSAA moving Highlands and Cov Cath to higher classes (5A instead of 3A for 4 years), I'm not sure how that would effect the equation, so I would probably ignore that situation and consider them as they were classified. It would make it much easier to calculate. OOS teams also present a problem as to their equivalent KY class.

Heck, I would give bonus points to wins by Highlands and CovCath over teams in 5A since Highlands and CovCath belonged in lower classes. Big bonus points for Highlands as they were playing up two classes at the time.
