Maxpreps rankings

[portcity FB]

There are much better polls and I really do not put a lot into the polls but since they do matter come playoff time I do engage. Hoggard beats Northside week 1 and gain a spot in the polls and then beat SC Friday who was ranked #1 is 3A and they drop 3 spots. I understand there are many variables but this is difficult to see. Hoggard drops to 9th in the east in 4A. It can be very hard to move back up when teams are in a weak conference. Hoggard will have a strong SOS after the WF game Friday but then it will go down just about every week from there. If they are dropping after a SC win just imagine after beating Ashley.

Yea, I'm still a little perplexed how both Rolesville and South View are in the top 10.

I do not even mind if they stay at the same ranking but beating SC on the road is about as good of a win as you can get. LR beat Panther Cr and jumped 24 spots. WF beat Clayton and jumped 14 spots. SV jumped to 4th after beating Overhills. Hard to figure out.

Yea, missing out on the New Hanover game in addition to West Craven, Conley and Rose starting off slow isn't going to be very good for us. We've got to beat both Maury VA and Havelock to keep up with the pack, as both schools are top 10 in their respective states.

Your conference definitely has upgraded. Before the season started it looked very good then Rose goes 0-2 and DHC gets blown out twice. Does the out of state game reflect on the SOS? I don’t think it does but a loss will. Havelock and Jville should give you a nice bump.

MaxPreps rating has nothing to do with playoff picture this year. Only thing that MaxPreps is used for is for posting the scores. Coaches must make sure their opponents MaxPreps is up to date, especially if they play an out of state team. 2021-2025 is using a RPI as its basis for playoff seeding.

Thanks for clearing that up. How is the RPI done and who does it?

Forgot about that. Nick stevens explained it earlier this year but can’t remember it. It’s a better system, I remember.

I actually like using a ranking system for seeding. Where teams can not help who is in their conference, teams can play a strong non conference schedule. I think those teams should be rewarded. I have always felt there are a number of local ranking systems that are much better than Maxpreps.

I don't know a lot about how Simmons or Massey ratings work - only the rankings that everyone sees. How do those two compare?

From NCHSAA on how RPI will be calculated

An RPI (Ratings Percentage Index) formula will be used for all team bracketed playoffs.

The formula will be as follows for all sports: RPI = (0.3 x WP) + (0.4 x OWP) + (0.3 x OOWP)

• Winning Percentage (WP): Divide the number of wins by the number of total games played. A tie is worth half a win. If a win in an individual contest gives that contest a winning percentage of 1.00, a tie will give that individual contest a winning percentage of .500 for both teams.

• Opponents’ Winning Percentage (OWP): Average the winning percentages of a team’s opponents. (Note: This is not calculated via the opponents' combined record, instead of by averaging each winning percentage of the opponents.) All games involving the team whose RPI is being calculated are ignored in this process.

• Opponents’ Opponents Winning Percentage (OOWP): The same process as described above, except calculated for the

Another math model and really doesn't matter which one you use. You can always find fault with these, especially when your team is downgraded versus other "less deserving" teams. My understanding is that it is used to break ties in the seeding not to determine who goes and who doesn't go to state (correct me if I am wrong here). Not a lot of harm as you still have to win out against the field to earn a state championship. Determines more the early round matchups, home field in the later rounds (which can be some advantage) and who gets to sell hot dogs and cokes (financially significant, especially in the later rounds where the crowds grow.)

Automatic Qualification
• Each conference will be allotted playoff berths based on the number of schools fielding a team in a particular sport
o 1-5 Teams = 1 Berth (Conference Champion)
o 6+ Teams = 2 Berths (Conference Champion + 2
nd Place or Conference Tournament Champion)
• The highest finishing team from a given classification in a split conference will automatically qualify, regardless of
overall conference finish (minimum of 2 schools per classification)
• Addition of RPI rating to Handbook for conference tie-breaking procedure as the final tiebreaker

Wildcards
The remaining non-automatic teams in each region (East/West) will fill the remaining berths based solely upon their RPI rating.

Seeding
• Conference champions will be seeded before any other qualifying teams by RPI rating
• All other teams will be seeded after the conference champions by RPI rating of the school, regardless of conference finish
• Each region (East/West) will be seeded independently of one another, utilizing the RPI rating of the school
