How does this work? for instance.
in 3A West St Stephens is #32 and North Lincoln is #34
North Lincoln beat St Stephens and is ahead in conference.
Since NL beat St Stephens and ahead in conference but behind in RPI's.
Who get in if this is final?

I've got a question, West Forsyth #30 plays East Forsyth "the number #1 or #2 team in the state. I think I've seen Maxpreps move up the losing team like West Forsyth even with a loss this weekend. In Fact, I know I've seen teams move up in their ranking with a loss to a really good team.. Is this possible? ...too me it is …but I just don't know. That means West is already in...

It’s possible and I think they are in. I think the only shuffle may come from South Iredell and N. Meck. SW plays #16 NW and they could stay or move up due to NW high RPI.
The other teams aren’t playing anyone with a high RPI except S. Iredell and McDowell. McDowell is to far down imo and S. Iredell could slip but who knows.

The main Flaw in the NCHSAA RPI's is the % of the OOWP. It is 30% IMO should be 10%. The 30% is killing the rankings(RPI's)

Does MaxPreps factor in margin of victory in their calculations? Just curious
No sir just a teams winning % (30)and their opponents winning %(40) and the opponents opponents winning %( 30)

There is no factor for score differential in the RPI formula. A 1-0 win counts the same as 50-1.

What % is strength of schedule?
I'm just guessing but I think these 3 factors make up SOS...Teams winning % (30) and their opponents winning %(40) and the opponents opponents winning %( 30)
=100% ... I think.. Don Hines knows for sure

As I understand it, neither team would get in. A team cannot “leapfrog “ another team that finished ahead of them in conference standings to get into the playoffs even if their RPI is higher.

I'm learning some stuff here . You got your schedule picked,you get a pre-season prediction of where your team is predicted to place in the conference. But if the team predicted to do well doesn't it hurts your team RPI, Thats crazy .....
BINGO!

Team A goes 10-0 and plays a subpar schedule can be seeded lower than a team that may go 9-1 or 8-2 that played a tougher schedule.
And this is fair, what isn’t fair is the oowp counting so much in that RPI. A teams winning percentage and their opponents winning percentage should be at least 80% of the RPI, a team has zero control over how other teams schedule. A bottom team in a conference year in year out will typically play a weak schedule just to get a win or two and that hurts top teams in the RPI because their opponent opponents have a horrible winning percentage. In our conference North Buncombe plays a VERY weak non conference and that hurts our RPI and we can’t control it at all!

I think 60/30/10 or 50/40/10 should be the percentages used instead of the current 30/40/30. Essentially you can control winning and losing and who you play (minus who you have to play in conference). You have zero control of other teams and their schedules but yet that has the same weight as winning percentage?

I think the calculation of RPI should be re-visited. Love that NCHSAA is using RPI, but it needs to be tweaked.

In reference to North Buncombe weak non conference schedule, they did play a good Andrews team this year but typically Andrews isn’t all that good. Other then that they played Madison, East Henderson, and Swain.

I totally understand. My team has lost to 3 teams with a combined record of 26-1 heading into this week and we also beat an 8-1 squad. We have been in the top 10-15 range all season. But the OOWP needs lesser impact like a 10%.
Deana...any chance the NCHSAA re-visits this at some point before the 23-24 school year?

Since you’re a mathematician (good job), who gets in out of:
29. Alexander Central (Plays Freedom)
30. W. Forsyth (plays East Forsyth)
31. SW (Plays Northwest)
32. S. Iredell (Plays Cox Mill)

33. N. Meck (Plays W. Charlotte)
obviously just your opinion based on the math.

I think Alexander Central, West Forsyth, North Meck and then I have no clue. SWG, South Iredell, McDowell and Northern Guilford all have games that they probably are going to lose. Don't think Davie jumps all of them with a win vs Glenn

As you said, just a guess...don't have the time to go do all the teams OWP and OOWP to give you a real accurate answer but just my guess

Northern can’t jump SW
Davie wont jump
S. Iredell plays #10 Cox Mill and SW plays #16 Northwest. I think All of them may lose except for AC and NM. I think S. Iredell may be off team out.

I’ve heard a lot of people not liking the OOWP being too much in the consideration, so who knows.

I know there is something going around wanting to expand the number of classifications to have 64 total teams in a class.

I thought there was roughly 400 public high schools.
Welp, this goes to show you, that you shouldn't just trust what google says. I wrote that post hastily, and I should have known better.
Calpreps has 414 public high schools in NC. Divide that by 64, and its roughly 6 and 1/2 classifications.

No they are being proactive in the growth of this state. It’s basically been 4 classes since 1985 and NC’s population has grown rapidly.

Right now there might be enough for 7 classes. But a lot of the smaller schools (prep and charters) don’t play all sports.

i think 5 classes would be adequate. The biggest margins are in 1A and 4A.

prep schools, charter schools, parochial schools, and counties with open enrollment maybe just play in their own classification :oops:
