This is good @Runcible Owlthis is a lot more accurate than the KHSAA RPI.

The advantage of CalPreps. It gives you credit for playing out of State teams if they are good. Not a blanket .500.

? The Boyle County Rebels finish the regular season as CalPreps #1 in the Commonwealth.  

? The #1 ranked teams in the five largest classes remain unchanged from last week. There's a new sheriff in town in 1A though as Pikeville and Raceland swap spots.

? CalPreps and RPI Comparisons 

There have been lively debates here at BGP since the KHSAA's RPI came into play for the 2019 season. Some are proposing the governing body adopt CalPreps instead. 

RPI calculations ended Saturday. Let's take a look at a Final Regular Season  side by side comparison between CalPreps and RPI for each Class.

✅ WOPR will add the Massey Ratings, TP94 Power Ratings, and the Bluegrass Preps Poll when released. We'll see if there is a majority/consensus of Rankings/Ratings/Polls before the playoffs begin.

This model is clearly, unequivocally broken. St. X at 8 when they lost to Manual who is at 10??? CAL beat Manual like a drum and is somehow behind Manual and St. X???WAAAYYY too much emphasis on opponents W/L records. Otherwise it’s fairly close to actual based on what I’ve seen. Despite the above stated issues I appreciate the work put into this.

Thank you, and I just "translate" the Class breakdowns and changes, as well adding the links - kind of "one stop shopping" here at BGP.

I hope everyone finds it helpful. 

I believe there's an "iffy" loss on many team's record, so I think I understand your concerns. 

I'll put you down as a hard pass on using CalPreps to seed for the playoffs?

Then let me show you this little beauty over here; they call it ... 

RPI

The sarcasm is real up in here! If RPI is so special when even do your own poll and post it??? Then get sarcastic with people who question it??? Somebody needs a thicker skin.

St. X also beat Male so should they be ahead of Male? Sometimes there are upsets and if they played 10 times the same team isn't going to win all 10 times. Could be 50/50 or 60/40 and so forth.
