RPI

Voted on yesterday and all playoff seedings will be by RPI! Winning your conference will not give you an automatic bid anymore!

I will probably get some pushback, but buzz you saying winning conference should not be rewarded by a playoff birth. Win and you are in , then let RPI put you where you should be.

Am I missing something here. Conference C-ship means nothing.

It will not! Its on another site so I didn't share the link! 100% by RPI

So if you are in a weak conference it will hurt you! Not sure why they don't do away with conferences!

Buzz is correct. It is all done via RPI with RPI now being 40-40-20 percentages. I haven't seen it on NCHSAA website yet, but the Citizen Times listed it with other changes in an article.

EDIT to add: Not sure if they will call it RPI as some articles call it "adjusted MaxPreps" rating. "playoff qualifiers will be determined by a modified MaxPreps rating. The new formula will be based on a 40-40-20 scale (winning percentage, opponents’ winning percentage and opponents’ opponents’ winning percentage)"

Not sure how I feel about the 20% part. It really seems like it goes to far

 

[loveithere]

Its better than it was. Before that part counted 30 percent-the same as your own winning percentage.

Explain it to me in Simple terms what it means.

 

[loveithere]

Your opponents opponents winning percentage counts for 20 percent of your RPI

With this set up you are correct @buzzcoach....Do away with conferences and allow teams to make the schedule in order to have good RPI. Some teams will be handcuffed by their conference teams. The other question is what happens when 4A team is having to play up a division or two but that team is .500 team in 5A/6A but it would be better that they played an 8-2 2A team that they problem win against.

Basically ur taking in consideration of ur opponents opponents records. Which I think gets complicated. Your trying to schedule a strong schedule but then u gotta worry about ur opponents schedule now. If a team u don't play has a bad year or gets the injury big it effects your RPI standings even though u have nothing to do with that team. Just because they played a team u played

I don't understand why the NCHSAA makes conferences. I think districts should decide on their own. Let them make their own choices on distance and schools they play or don't play.

I'm sure the multitude of split conferences brought about this decision. Probably should have gotten rid of conferences all together and followed the SC model.
