So is week 2 ratings based off what happened last year?

How do you not have East #1? They’re undefeated!!

How do you not have East #1? They’re undefeated!!

SC East's scheduled opponents are a combined 5-13. That's the worst of any of the 13 unbeaten teams, and is the reason they're currently #13 in RPI.

Also, the numbers in the OP aren't 100% accurate. Close, though.

I was wondering about some of those numbers, as well. I didn’t know if I input something wrong in my spreadsheet, or the fact that I’m already calculating the OOWP for out-of-state teams might be throwing me off, but some of the RPIs I have are just a bit off from these.

Also, you probably don’t need to go 10 decimal places deep when the state rounds to 4; and RPIs after Week 2 really don’t tell us anything.

If you look at Valley, Dowling, SE Polk and Waukee playoff teams least year. They just played a Round Robin and I was amazed that none of them have a RPI even in the top 16, with the exception of SE Polk

 

[franky1967]

I still don't think the RPI has a place in High School Football, unless you take the top 16 teams for the playoffs. That would mean no district champions, just take the top 16.

What is the point of the RPI if you are not going to use it the way it was designed

 

[Reasoned]

Like any ranking system it becomes more relevant/accurate the further into the season you get, that's not to say it doesn't have it's limitations.

 

[ISUChip]

RPIs after Week 2 really don’t tell us anything.

Exhibit A: Davenport West ahead of WDM Valley

It's also why the IHSAA is waiting another 2 weeks this season (after week 6) to start releasing numbers.

 

[KidSilverhair]

I wish now that I had tracked the RPI numbers better last season - to see how much correlation there was between Week 7 RPI leaders, for example, and the final playoff qualifiers. It would be interesting to see how close they tracked over the final three or four weeks, to see if you could make any general prediction ... or if the RPIs varied a lot from week to week.

I mean, it's not too hard to make a guess at the top 16 teams in a class, but seeing how the RPI worked as a trend would be interesting. Maybe I'll pay more attention this year.
