It appears that the IHSAA has unofficially used the 4A success criteria when making non district schedules. At quick glance, many traditional powers have brutally tough non-district schedules. It looks like they took the teams that can’t get opponents to agree to list them and have just paired them up to play. Is the goal to have great games in September? An intended or unintended consequence will be top teams missing the playoffs if they lose one district game. With the RPI...all games are essentially district games.
