KCD home until they lose in regionals.

KYHSFBFan · 11-02-2019, 02:48 PM

Crittenden Co at KCD
NCC at Holy Cross
Nicholas Co at Pikeville
Williamsburg at Paintsville

How does it change things if Raceland beats Paintsville?

Have to question legitimacy of this ranking system with Pikeville not the topped ranked team? Also would think Raceland better than #9 in 1A.

Pikeville should be unchallenged until semi finals.

Hazard will play better than they did in their 1st match up so Pikeville will at least have to lace up their cleats for that one. Round 3 will be a running clock.

I think final 4 will be Pikeville, NCC, Paintsville, and KCD. KCD isn't great but better than the teams they'll face in rounds 1-3. If this happens then paintsville will be at pikeville round 4.

Itâs not a ranking system. Itâs a rating system and I totally understand your frustration. Basically the you can game the RPI by playing 5A cupcakes. Now you have a TRUE # 1 being rated #2 and screwing up whole point of having the system.

PHSFAN · 11-02-2019, 06:23 PM

No way is Raceland not a top 5 team in Class A.

Raceland is 0-4 against the better teams on their schedule! The Rams put themselves here by not getting it done on the field! Now they have work to do!

Suppose going forward after a year or two will comprehend how the seedings work. However it plays out pulling for an EKY team to bring home the title.

I really can't understand how in the world anybody is ahead of Pikeville in 1A.

Well itâs easy they played 3 5A schools, 1 6A school, 1 4A school and a 2A school and beat them all. Now thats the way it works if you want the good numbers. Heck with the numbers what teams should be doing is working to get their team ready for the play offs. It really donât matter #55PirateFan the team just has to win the games they play from this point on. The first season is over time for the next season to begin. Threw all the records out the door itâs time to play football. Another thing that worries me is Pikeville has another bye week before they will have to probably play Hazard so itâs like 2 weeks and no competition and you definitely know how that works.

I can. You have to understand this rpi takes no human element into it. It's all computerized and since KCD played all the weaker 5a and 6a schools like Iroquois and Seneca and went undefeated then they got more rpi points. There's a reason they don't use it in college football when electing the 4 teams for the playoffs. Pikeville only played up 3 times this season with three 3a teams in Belfry, Lawrence, and Bardstown.

pirateforlife · 11-03-2019, 06:15 AM

KCD has an advantage over other 1a teams because they are in Louisville and it's easier for them to find 5a and 6a teams to play them. If I was them, I would keep playing that same schedule they played this year. They'll be top rpi team every year.

In truth, they played up against Mingo, Ridgeview as well. Thatâs where the generic rating for out of state teams hurt Pikeville

Well yeah but I was meaning in state teams that you actually received points for playing up.

Thatâs what I mean. I hate the generic points for out of state teams. Understand the rationale though.
