The Shamrocks check in this week at #49 in the state according to the KHSAA RPI. Unfortunately for the Rocks, big wins vs Anderson (OH), CBC (MO), Moeller (OH), Cincy St. X and a 7 point loss to Baylor (TN) the #8 team in the USA, cannot propel Trinity past Kentucky football powers such as Dayton, North Oldham, Russell and McCracken County. Well done KHSAA.

@Tigerpride94 just posted this:

So many factors in RPI like class factor, out of state opponents factor of .500 on top of the RPI formula of Win %, Opponents win %, and opponents of opponents %. Too me it's garbage and why NCAA doesn't use it anymore for basketball tournament selection. KHSAA should use HSratings.com or Massey Ratings.

But to your point, RPI is a complete joke like many things KHSAA these days.

The KHSAA hates choice.

The KHSAA has abdicated any REAL/PROACTIVE leadership related to high school football in Kentucky.

• A complete joke in how RPI is determined and utilized in the playoffs

• Too many classes

• Districts that are too small in number of teams

• No thought leadership in how to enable schools that consistently roster 20+ varsity players to combine with another like school

• No thought leadership in how to reduce the number of teams making the playoffs, shorten the season for everyone and enable schools that finish the season 2-8, 1-9 or 0-10 to have a different option than first round playoffs vs a #1 seed where they might travel 2, 3 or 4 hours to get best 65-0.

No arguments from me @TH58.
