1A West RPI

Unfortunately this is the only one that matters
While it may sound hypocritical, even though last year it fell to ER traveling, I like that there is a system that tells teams where they stand. Does everyone agree with it? Not at all. But at least it’s a little more transparent than Maxpreps super secret formula.
And will probably change quite a bit in the coming weeks as teams lose/win more into the season.

Remove Bishop and East and add Mountain Heritage to the other 3. In no particular order that's the top 4 teams. Barring injury it will stay that way for the rest of the season most likely.
 
This will change. However, Mountain Heritage's opponents winning percentage is .3333. They are 8th. With their schedule this year, doubt they get a home game after round 3. In 2022 Mt. Airy was 3rd behind Draughn and ER in the RPI rankings in the West even though most "polls" had them #1 in the west and State. If Draughn had not lost in Rd. 4, MA after beating ER away would have had to travel to Draugh for the Western Finals. Last year due to RPI MA had to travel to Robbinsville even though all polls said otherwise.

Forget polls. This is what we have.

Robbinsville and Chase having rough seasons is killing MH.
Agreed, but Robbinsville will probably start winning. Chase isn't looking too good though. 0-2, haven't scored a point yet and have Draughn and Freedom to come over the next weeks which will be tough. Yikes.

I don't see how MA jumps Eastern Randolph this year though unless they were to do the unspeakable and lose to Orange Blue team. Lots of football to be played though, as said.

Also 2022, Andrews had that great year and was the 2 seed but lost to Draughn in round 4. Thomasville was 3 seed and also lost to Draughn. Draughn had to travel to MA as a 6 seed for the western finals after MA beat ER. I can remember that becaue the Draughn fanbase and team pretty much pissed off most of western NC fanbases on the way to MA. Even made Mitchell folk pull for MA after the 2021 playoff debacle and arguing. It was an interesting playoff that year.
 
Lots of football to play before end of regular season. Just let the cards fall and play ball. Like home games but love to go check out other stadiums. Also if ER is #1 seed there is great place to eat seafood.
Totally understand what you're saying, but I have to say I don't like the wording on the highlighted part. 😂😂

Well I guess ER playing BYE had a huge effect on their OWP, not to mention their OOWP…
What can you do though? Not a huge gate but for some reason keep scheduling them every year 🤷‍♂️
 
Most 1a teams would have a tough time with 3a Erwin this year, Robbinsville is better than their record, we just routed a decent Hendo team, Chase is bad but I don't know how you can do better than a 54-0 shut out they also just took Draughn to ot, numbers are what they are though we will see how things go in the playoffs all Heritage can do is win cause our conference isn't going to do us any favors in rpi
