3A overall is just blah this year. But mediocrity sometimes creates depth and possibly great competition. No other class was as deep in the RPI numbers as 12 teams had an RPI of at least .600.

If you divide East and West, the East looks fairly normal with Bell Russell Belfry and Ashland being key players. 3rd round looks like Bell hosting and either Belfry at Russell or Belfry hosting Ashland.

My head hurts looking out west. How many teams can you make a case for to make it to the semis? A bunch IMO. There are some crazy scenarios out there. This class may not be great but they will be fun to watch in the playoffs.

How could Russel jump that much in the RPI last night by beating West Carter? This system is so flawed. Russel gains in the RPI because they beat West Carter and Belfry is punished because they lost to a very good Johnson Central team.
