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.

:Thumbs: Good adjustment. Would you add bounus points for defeating a State Champion in the year as well?

I don't see class as big of an issue as some do. For example: In 2000 and 2001, the only loss Danville suffered was to Boyle while winning the Class A title. I think the same is true in 2003. (In fact the only losses Highlands had that season were two to Boyle and one to Danville I think)

Just looking at what other factors might be included.
