Yes, I understand the ratings get 'better' as the season goes on.

But the numbers have never been that dramatically different. You are basically talking about 8-10 teams that saw the RPI number drop 30 percent. Again, I am not a math wizard but that doesn't seem right in one week. And it's not just 6-A. We went from 20-plus teams at 1.00000 (or higher) to the highest RPI now in the state being .87961 and only two teams in the whole state over .80000.

I just find it very odd that it's such a dramatic shift in one week.

You're right, it doesn't take a math wizard. You asked why. I answered. I track this stuff on a granular level. RPI drops have been this "dramatically different" in this time frame, in every class, every year.

So, there was a 'change and clean up' in the RPI calculations.

I knew it had to be something. Just saw RockNation posted in another thread and clicked on the link for the note from the KHSAA. Again, just a quick look and there was a massive switch in the numbers in one week. It had to be something other than the ratings evening themselves out.

And it was.
