The initial RPI for 3A football was released on Monday and the Carbon Dinos are in the No.6 spot. The RPI is a formula that the Utah High School Activities Association uses to rank teams in every classification, the number is updated at the end of every game and then at the end of the season will be used to rank teams for play in the State Championships.
Grantsville sits in the top spot with a record of 4-1, Morgan holds the No. 2. Manti, Richfield, and Ogden round out the top five.
Manti, who the Dinos face Friday, holds the highest ranking in the 3A South at No. 3, but Richfield is close behind at No. 4, in fact, six of the top ten teams in 3A reside in the same region as the Dinos.
The formula used to create each team’s RPI number is as follows:
MWP (Modified Winning Percentage): Divide the number of possible points by the number of total available points from games played accounting for the adjustment between classifications.
OWP (Opponents Winning Percentage): Average of the winning percentage of a team’s opponents (Note: this is not calculated via the combined record of the opponents, but rather by averaging the winning percentage of the opponents).
OOWP (Opponents’ Opponents Winning Percentage: The same process as OWP except the calculation is with the opponents of the team’s opponent.
You can catch all the action of the contest with No. 3 Manti on Friday with the Landon’s Diesel Pre-game starting @ 6:30 p.m. on KRPX 95.3 The Peak, kickoff will follow at 7:00 p.m.. A live audio stream is also available on the Castle Country Radio app and at castlecountryradio.com
