Class 4A

 

Two statement games lived up to their billing. Wayne County stunned Corbin on the road with a dramatic victory. Franklin County kept their unbeaten season alive by edging past Central in a true defensive slug fest. This week the games feature teams from other classes, but there should still be major drama to unfold. Johnson Central has been locked in cruise control but will stretch their legs against Eastern Kentucky small-school titan Belfry. Lexington Catholic doesn't want to be considered the third best team in their city, but Frederick Douglass will be a very tall task. Madisonville, Hopkinsville, and Logan County have a three-way tie to settle and all have key games to go toward that result against three ranked foes. Corbin desperately needs a rebound but will have a tough challenge against Somerset.

 

1. Boyle County at 5A Madison Southern

2. Johnson Central at 3A #2 Belfry

3. Franklin County at 5A Great Crossing

4. Lexington Catholic vs. 5A #2 Frederick Douglass

5. Wayne County at 5A North Laurel

6. Corbin vs. 2A #2 Somerset

7. Madisonville-North Hopkins vs. 2A #3 Mayfield

8. Hopkinsville vs. 3A #10 Paducah Tilghman

9. Logan County at 5A #5 South Warren

10. Central -- OPEN

Will Johnson Central pass Franklin County in the RPI with a win over Belfry? Franklin County has Great Crossings that will hurt their ratings.

 

#2 gets a home game over #3 in the Semi finals. It's a big advantage in the playoffs!

If both win, Franklin County will gain on Johnson Central in WP. Franklin County will get a better win value for beating a 5A school than Johnson Central will for beating a 3A school and that will raise FC's WP. JC's WP will decrease with a win over Belfry because Belfry is in a lower class.

 

The question then is whether the OWP and OOWP increase JC will get is enough to offset FC's WP gain.

 

My guess is it is very unlikely Johnson Central can catch and pass Franklin County in RPI.

This was my thinking as well. This system obviously needs work and some tweaking down the road, but I still prefer it to the old system. Holds each team and there schedules more accountable. I hope the KHSAA figures out a way to weigh more on a teams overall strength and success and begins to factor in out of state opponents more accurately.

Looks like Johnson Central did catch and pass Franklin County for that #2 spot in the RPI ratings.

 

2 Johnson Central 4A 8 10 - 0 - 0 1.052 0.498 0.545 0.706

3 Franklin County 4A 4 10 - 0 - 0 1.047 0.471 0.553 0.697

This is going to be an exciting playoffs.

 

Class 4A is lucky to have three excellent teams at the top. Boyle and JC appear to both be Top 5 in the State overall.

When do these rankings become final? I know they don’t accumulate throughout the playoffs. Is it sometime today, Sunday, throughout the week?

They should be final now. The system is supposedly updated every hour.

Yea, that’s why I was curious. I haven’t seen anything saying when they become “final”.

 

Glad to see the Belfry game did in fact pay dividends for JC.

This is going to be an exciting playoffs.

I can't wait either!
