The Standings
Rankings
Two different things live on this page. Our own weekly poll, which is us
arguing about it and then voting, and the official SCHSL RPI, which is math and does not
care what any of us think.
Our Week 4 poll
Voted on by the Movin' The Chains crew. SCHSL and SCISA, top five in each classification. Presented by First Team Sports Center.
The official SCHSL RPI
RPI is the number that actually decides who hosts and who travels come
playoff time. It weighs your winning percentage, your opponents' winning percentage, and
your opponents' opponents' winning percentage, so a good record against nobody does not
move it much.
Two steps: choose Football, then your classification.
This is the SCHSL's own RPI tool, so it covers every sport they sanction, which is why
basketball and baseball are in that first dropdown too. Football is the top option under
Fall Sports.

Preseason heads up: RPI is calculated from games played, so until Week 1 kicks
off every team shows 0-0 with an RPI of 0.00000. The order you see before the season means
nothing. It starts moving the first Friday night.
