I'm starting to question why opponents opponents are even included in the formula. Or at least drop it to like 5% as a form of tie breaker.

I dont mind it being a factor, but there is no way it should be an equal part of the equation to OWP.

I think being worth half the 25% the value of OWP is fitting.

Just because the team you beat got running clocked by 6 other good teams does not reflect that they are a good team.

Bell County is a good case study on this actually.

South Laurel (2-5) gets more credit than they deserve. They have been
outscored in those 5 losses 74-240, an average final score of 48-15. It just so happened those 5 teams are a combined 29-9 that beat them so they give an inflated RPI value.

Rockcastle County (4-3) also is over inflated in this calculation. Their three losses were to teams that are 19-1, but those three losses were by an average of 47-11.


If there was a power component to OOWP I would buy it more as being equal.
