Bethlehem TD. Looks like going for two.

Huge play upcoming for the Crittenden County travel budget!

Bethlehem didn’t convert 2 pt conversion. HC wins 28-27.

Looks like The Rockets are headed to KCD!

I am looking at the brackets on the KHSAA website and it has CC vs Louisville HC and NCC vs KCD.  Is that wrong?  I have been confused because I thought the RPI had something to do with the 3rd round and clearly it is not setting matchups just home field.

And the brackets have been changed on the KHSAA website.  Before anybody thinks I am crazy I did take a picture of the original brackets.  ?

They are simply posted as templates. After the second and third rounds are complete the RPI is used to set the next round. You will see them rearranged after each round.

This whole RPI stuff is bananas anyway!

The theory behind it is good as I like the effort to make better matchups in each round. However, the RPI in and of itself is a flawed instrument.

Agreed. I think we need to bring the cross district matchups for the first two rounds, as most know some of the better teams are in the same district.

If I were doing cross-district, I do it this way:

• District A 1st Place vs. District A 4th Place
• District B 2nd Place vs. District A 3rd Place
• Winners play in second round, then use RPI (or perhaps a better replacement) for third and fourth round just as they do now

That means the 1-4 game, which is almost always a blowout, would pit two teams relatively close geographically. The 2-3 game being cross-district would hopefully avoid a first round matchup where two really good teams from the same district play immediately (think CAL/DeSales or Somerset/Danville this season).

I like this but I would use RPI for the second round games also. That rewards the top RPI seeds in the two districts.
