Yes finally someone who can see how important this means to all our communities! So many claim the RPI sucks and what not when really it’s finally allowing the mountain teams to reach farther than just a regional or semi state and beat eachother out. Pikeville paintsville bell and belfry are the best of their classes, and for so many years they meet in the third round of the playoffs(been a while since bell and belfry however). But this is such a great thing for everyone in the mountains to take pride and say that us “rednecks” can play some football.

Everyone that claims RPI sucks over the past method is just salty. That or they jumped the gun with the early rankings of it. It’s not made to analyze the best teams mid season. Now does it have its downfalls? Yep. But hopefully they’ll take what they have and edit or add to it to make it even better. There’s a whole lot better metrics out there than RPI. But I still like it
