CHSAA has posted the first official RPI standings for football.  And below are the top 20 teams in the big school ranks (Classes 3A-4A-5A).  We recommend not taking these standings that seriously as the RPI is designed to be more accurate the more games are played.  That means teams will move up and down quite a bit until we reach weeks six, seven and eight of the regular season.
RPI will still be used to determine which teams make the playoffs as wildcard teams will be selected using the system.  League champions earn automatic berths.  But then a committee will place the qualifiers in the playoff bracket with RPI standings only one factor in those determinations.
