So after 7 weeks of football things are still looking odd with the RPI.. kinda curious what changes continue to happen over next three weeks.. As it stands right now, disregarding the human factor, after 7 weeks of football here is Mayfields potential path to the title game, and honestly it looks the hardest for sure.. coming in at #2 seed Mayfield gets homefield all the way to state game as would Beechwood #1seed..  earlier in the year it looked as tho the other two in the final four would pan out to be LCA an O Cath...  Oddly, looking at numbers only, neither of them will fill the shoes we thought they would.. now we know at least LCA healthy is a better team than RPI states an O Cath is still a wild card on that as well but Mayfield could play both these schools before the final four gets here..
   With potentially the hardest path to the state finals, Mayfield's schedule would be as follows......

- Round 1, district 2 #4 seed O Cath. Looking at the current RPI District 2 teams are at the top of the list( and we know this should change with district play) but right now O Cath is #4 outta that district giving them Mayfield in round 1. Wow what a premiere game this could be in round one.
- Round 2, district 2 #3 seed Butler Co. Butler currently sets at #3 in the 2nd district in RPI an most likely will knock off Murray in round one (maybe, maybe not). Lets say they do.
- Round 3, district 4 LCA..  as of now LCA is 10th overall in 2a RPI.  Coming in at the lowest seed in the west side of the state for round 3 will send them to War Memorial to play the Cardinals. McLean would play Somerset
- Round 4, district 2 McLean. I think as the numbers go Mclean beats Somerset an earns the trip back to the Region at Mayfield. Otherside of the final 4 would be Beechwood vs Breathitt.
- Round 5 Mayfield vs Beechwood


The gauntlet of teams to the State game 
#6 rpi Owensboro Catholic 
#5 rpi Butler County 
#10 rpi (but we all know top 2 in 2a) LCA
#3 rpi McLean County
#1 rpi Beechwood 

Now yes I realize things can an will change but as of week 7 this is the road to the title for the Cardinals..
