I keep a spreadsheet of the RPI numbers for the teams in 4A and the one thing that stands out the most to me is Perry Central’s RPI rose from .373 to .403 after their loss to Johnson Central. I know that the opponents winning percentage is 35% of the formula but I had never realized how much of an impact on the RPI that it actually had. I should have realized this but it just never dawned on me. Johnson Central’s RPI went from .710 to .700 after winning at Perry. I believe that once teams realize how important the opponents win percentage is that it may help teams like Belfry and Johnson Central complete a schedule without going out of state or driving three to four hours for a game.
