UPDATED RPI 2A

I r never been off this site, have over 17,000 ppodt to prove it. I’d like to see some examples where I have “bashed some teams” You’re just upset since SWO hasn’t really been relevant sonce the Burney days


. Ghost? I have t been anywhere and have 17,000 post to prove it. Your problem is SWO hasn’t been actually relevant since the Burney days and not really now That why you hate Clinton, you hate their succees

Well SWO won a title after Burney and played for another one, so again you're wrong lol nothing new.

You definitely disappeared when Clinton UUUU was just Clinton and sucked for 3/4 years until Lewis came back. But okay old man carry on lol

Just forget this RPI Barbershop chat. Clinton has the brains, talent, and magnitude to win it all.
I agree. I find myself getting caught up in the RPI barbershop chat and confusion also. A good friend reminded me that at the end of the day doesn't matter where a team gets put in the playoff seeding. If they are good enough they are going to win. Still fun to see the projections and how things are going so far though.

Sometimes teams can go through a gauntlet of top teams and come out exhausted mentally and physically with injuries. The best team doesn't always win.
 
RPI is important for seeding purposes. Home field advantage is always important, especially when two equally matched teams play.
Once the the conference winners are determined they are seeded by RPI. Then the 2nd place teams are ranked by RPI and seeded behind the lowest conference champion(no matter how mediocre). After that 3rd place teams in larger conferences undergo a similar process. Thereafter, wild cards are determined by RPI solely. I think some are befuddled because the East and West conferences and subsequent wildcard pools are geographically predetermined.
It is highly probable that a team with a lower RPI from either the East of West could make the playoffs ahead of a higher ranked team from the other region.

Actually the 2nd place and all wildcards are seeded together by RPI after the conference champions are seeded.

Random, predetermined would work just as well, you have to win them all irregardless of seeding I think in the later rounds home field advantage is greatly overrated. If you can’t win on the road you don’t deserve to be a champion, thus the value of predetermined you could conceivably have. Championship match up in a 3rd round! , so what, you’d have to play anyway .Ever since they started seeding teams it’s been controversial. There is no contriversary with predetermined brackets. It is what it is, play it.

Spot on !!!! Good post Wizard. Also the part about possibly having the championship match played in the third round is so true. @dogs79 your Bulldogs came to Elizabeth City back when you had Javonte and the winner of our match played SWO. That was definitely the eastern championship, either of our teams would’ve beaten Swo by 40 plus easy.

WRH didn't beat SWO by 40 plus easy? What makes you think tomato soup can NE would? I'm so confused with your delusional shit you speak sometimes. NE hasn't won anything, probably shouldn't speak lol liberalllll

Wrh beat SWO 49-7 for the “eastern championship “ when everyone knows like Wizard stated that the real eastern championship was played the week before in Elizabeth City where Wrh led by Javonte Williams beat Northeastern in a shootout 63-52.

Well what are you worried about, you're Clinton. It's predetermined you are going to win it all. You have the best team.....I've read you all season. You can win an early round away game at East Duplin. Like clockwork. Maybe not!!! I bet you don't want an away game at Northeastern followed by an away at East Duplin. Play it, that's just what you have to do.

@dogs79 @Otis4411 both of you were with me at that game in Elizabeth City. That game was the true eastern championship and we all knew that whoever won would easily beat Swo.
SWO hasn’t done squat in 2A since their 2A title in 2004. They did get a 1A title in 2012 but Northeastern and Northside has owned them in 2A since ,They don’t want any of the Eagles nor DarkHorses this year it wouldn’t be pretty

Hoey, I’m.not worried about a thing! I know the way to Elizabeth City and Beaulaville been there several times in fact I like away games! It’s much more fun to win big playoff games on the road! I don’t care wheather it was predermined or not but East Duplin has got to beat WRH and then we’ll see how well they matchup against the DarkHorses Yes I’m confident, not going to apologize for that. If my confident posts offend you just quit reading them and be happy 😃

Hoey our defense will have to play better imo for us (Northeastern) to beat Clinton. Our offense can score with the best of them in 2a but we need to work on our pass protection. I’m with you though, it will be hard for a team to come into Elizabeth City and beat our Eagles 🦅. We have a very good team

That was a heck of a ball game that night. You should have gone to Princeton and watched them and WRH have at it. Kanye Roberts put on a show like Williams did at Northeastern.

Yes I remember it like it was yesterday. I went to a Princeton game last year but it wasn’t the one with Wrh. I really enjoyed it there and I hung out with the Princeton coach’s brother. That field looked amazing and the atmosphere was crazy.

You ain't worried cause you aren't playing old man. Calm down an let Clinton UUUU play the games geez. No reason Clinton UUUU doesn't even like you.....
 
Based on what I’ve seen, which isn’t a ton, I must say Clinton looks really good. They are going to be tough to beat, but that’s the beauty of playoff football. Northeastern can score, but I’m not sold on their D. Not saying they can’t get there, it’s just not there yet. Wallace is Wallace, but I gotta say, I really like the Panthers of East Duplin. I love battle Halley’s style, he’s a dang good coach, that I feel doesn’t get the love he deserves. He always has his teams prepared and if you’re going to beat them, you better be ready for a dawg fight. Matter of fact, if Craddock left us (Tarboro) and if we went outside of the family, I’d love him to come coach us (haha don’t think he would) but that’s just how much I respect what he does. Playoffs will be fun!

NE scoring on tomato soup cans isn't worth a penny. Clinton UUUU is much watch TV, tbh will be very hard to beat. Wouldn't put it past WRH or ED. WRH got a back Kerr, if he gets hot, he can take over a game aka Kanye or JW. ED is very well coached and play sound football. It will take a breakout game from Kerr and great defense for WRH to win. ED can win with long drives an no penalties, with Clinton UUUU overlooking ED. Battle an Aldridge will have the boys at ED ready to play

I am happy, no matter who I read. Are you happy? You don't offend me. Didn't mean to offend you. Just checking . WRH may well meet you down the road. They might offend you. Interesting, I remember a team that beat us in the third game one season and we met them in the playoffs. They came in confident. They came in expecting a repeat. We owned them. Sent them packing, I guess they had too many cupcakes before our second game.

Well you’re right , Clinton best WRH I think it was like 58-22 but a lot of factors influenced that score. You can’t expect that quick a start to a game.
A blocked out for a td first was devestating. You know they say a blocked punt is the most devestating play in football. If Clinton were to have a rematch with WRH it could be an entirely different game but I’m confident the Horses would still win
Clinton’s non conference schedule was impressive but their conference schedule does concern me as it really doesn’t offer any challenges in preparation for the playoffs. That’s where good coaching comes in. A really good team might not-really being playing against an inferior team., but against a standard they have set for themselves.

At the end of the day we(fans) need to be less worried about seedings and rankings and just appreciate what we are seeing on the field. I understand how important and convenient home field advantage is but if you’re good enough playing 1 or 2 games on the road shouldn’t matter.

Senior year we were a 10 seed played every game on the road. Made it to State. If you’re good enough you’ll make it.
hopefully you don't forget how to punt and protect the punter. Have a kicker and are better on special teams than you usually are. Thats gotten you beat a few times when you had the better team.
 
Rpi Wrh is above Ed the loses where early but they played the top 3 Havelock Hoggard And Clinton So strength Of schedule to me is a pick who u want for the time how can ED. Rpi be over Clinton who is the best 2a Team in the east I’m a bulldog fan true not hating on Ed At All I have family on Ed , but we talking Rpi a joke How is it Wrh SOS is a joke in this whole scenario now I don’t know what happened to havelock n hoggard seasons record but I c Clinton is undefeated ED is Good but Clinton is better just my take they might need to do a revote after Next week or something cause this one is Seriously WRONG!
