[Corbin]

Scheduling out of state teams hurt the RPI correct? I remember hearing last year that the little school out of NC didn't count towards Corbin's RPI and ultimately cost them come playoff time.

Good question.  

A win over an out of state team  is counted the same as a win against a team in the same class as your team. For example, when Corbin beat the team from NC they received a value of 1.00000 to be figured in when calculating their WP, the same as a win over Franklin County. However, where it could affect the RPI slightly is in the OWP. An out-of-state school gives you a 0.51060 rating OWP for that game, which is then averaged in with all the other OWP on your schedule.  An opponent with a OWP of 0. 51060 is not great but it's still MUCH better than , say, what Whitley County or Campbell County(KY) will give you.  

To make a long story short, playing an out of state school is not gonna adversely affect your RPI to any significant degree.  What you heard is incorrect. The out-of state school's game absolutely does count in the RPI calculations.

Thanks on clarification. RPI confuses me to death.
