This should be a fun one. 

Pulaski struggles with the passing defense, Corbin struggles with run defense. 

Great opportunity for some great coaching with two new HCs.

Would like to see PC pull it out to help their RPI. (still underrated)

42-38 PC

I'm not seeing where Pulaski is underrated, in RPI or otherwise.  Their best win is George Rogers Clark, who is 4-5. The only team that they have beaten with a winning record is South Laurel, who is 5-3 due to a soft schedule. The teams that they have beaten are 17-35.  They are definitely much improved, and have hung in there with some good teams, but haven't beaten any of them.  The Corbin game gives them a chance for a win over a really good team.  I think they would have a better shot at home, but they can still pull it off on the road.  I think Corbin takes it, but it won't be easy. Redhounds 35,, Maroons 28.

Walt if you can’t see the underrating in the rpi, then idk what to say. Look across the khsaa board 1A-6A at the rpi ratings, pulaski would be ranked almost 80th best team in the state. That’s nonsense, they annihilate over half the teams with a higher rpi.

They’re a top 30-35 team minimum, it’s easy to see. They've lost to 3 top 30 teams by a total of 14 points, two of those games were lost in the last 30 seconds of the game. Can you see where I’m coming from now?

According to RPI standards, Corbin should win this game with a running clock. But sounds like it could be close and it ain’t going to be a running clock.
Can you see it yet?

You don't understand how the RPI is set up. It isn't made to put all teams from all classes in one ranking.  You aren't supposed to be able to take Owensboro Catholic's RPI and compare it Pulaski's RPI and say that OCS should running clock the Maroons. It is set up to rank teams within their own class by using their formula. It's a stupid formula but it's what they're using.  This RPI isn't meant to be like the RPI in the NCAAs where it ranks all the teams from 1-130.  

If you want a system like that, that is more accurate try CalPreps.  They have Pulaski ranked 31st in all classes.  That's 2 spots below Beechwood , which, from their head to head matchup, seems legit.  They have Pulaski ranked 9th in 5A. And they project the score of the game against Corbin to be 38-27 Redhounds on a neutral field.
