I was bored, so I went through the field of contenders, to see who would be playoff bound had the IHSAA stuck to the old point system. This is the system they used pre-RPI, pre- straight district finish, etc. Teams were given a specific number of points for wins and losses based on whether their opponent was a first-division team(winning record) or a second-division team(losing record). You were also penalized for playing an opponent below 4A.
Now I'm using the following assumptions for Week 9; C.F beats CRP, F.D beats MAR, SEP beats DMR, ANK beats SCE and all contenders win against non-contenders. On a side note, anybody else notice that there are no teams in 4A with a record of 4-4? Very strange.
