1. Home/away. Winning on the road should be weighted more than at home.
2. Out of state opponents. Beating St X Cincinnati shouldn’t be the same as beating Hurley, VA.
3. Margin of Victory. Cap it at 36 so teams arn’t running score up

Margin of victory has no bearing on RPI. Agree 100% on #2.
It should though. Beating a team by 1 and putting a running clock on them is not equal

By your recommendation, Belfry would have been considered better than Pikeville because Pikeville beat Johnson Central 14-7 and Belfry beat Johnson Central 48-20. We know Pikeville beat Belfry 40-21. Matchups make games. Can’t encourage teams to beat lesser opponents as bad as possible to prove how good they are either. Opening a can of worms. Lower class teams already have problems finding games. Imagine telling them to beat the teams who agree to play them as bad as they can. You also play teams at different times of the year. Injuries matter. Margin of victory should never be part of the equation but the system has its warts obviously. In the end you have to beat the team in front of you for a trophy anyway. Only one team per class ends their season with a win.
