It is so hard to get excited about 3A.  I almost wish everyone but CAL could play down to a winner and then that winner gets to play CAL for the title.

Glasgow guy here, I've been playing the math game on if/how Glasgow can somehow avoid CAL...not saying the others are slouches or anything. Just trying to somehow get a 2/3 seed in the west. Trying to get to the 3/4/5 round and seeing what happens from there.

What have you come up with?  Basically what you are saying is what every team should be wishing for and that is a path to the finals without playing CAL to get there.

Yes, a rabbit hole of trying to have Glasgow avoid CAL. Bardstown losing helped.. I don't think Lex Cath jumps Glasgow now if they beat Bardstown. Too many variables to really consider until the very last couple weeks but I'm realistically hoping Glasgow can be ahead of Bardstown/Lex Cath at the end of the year, giving them a 3rd seed in the west heading into round 3 and a matchup with Murray instead of CAL (absolutely nothing against Murray). Then maybe a trip to Bell County/Lloyd/Whoever else if Glasgow advances, then meeting CAL in the finals. 

I'm sure many fans have their own outlook for their teams. Can the RPI align perfectly so that their team can avoid CAL the longest.

If the playoffs were to start today and if CAL makes it to the Class 3A finals, their path would look something like this:

Round 1 - vs. Mercer County

Round 2 - vs. Garrard County - DeSales / Central winner from round 1

Round 3 -  vs. Lex Cath

Round 4 -  vs Glasgow if Glasgow beats Murray in Round 3 or vs. Lloyd / Lawrence County winner if Murray beats Glasgow in Round 3

Championship - vs. Bell County / Murray winner or Bell County / Lloyd vs. Lawrence County winner depending on scenario in round 4.

Basically, even with only 3 weeks left in the season, a lot can still change.  Teams 2-5 in RPI can still change a lot, even without any of those losing a game the rest of the year.  Bell County's game against Pulaski County and Glasgow's game against Franklin-Simpson the last week of the regular season will play a big role in RPI seeding as well.  Of course, if Union County can knock off Murray this week, that will throw everything off as well.
