The UHSAA revealed its debut 2023 RPI Rankings for high school football Monday morning, and if the previous two years are any indicator, it’s best to take the initial rankings with a grain of salt.
In each of the past three seasons, no more than two teams ranked first in the initial RPI rankings were still No. 1 when the regular season ended. In both 2020 and 2021, only one team ended the year ranked first.
For now though, the teams who can claim RPI top billing in their respective classifications at the midway point of the season are Lehi (6A), Box Elder (5A), Green Canyon (4A), Richfield (3A), San Juan (2A), Duchesne (1A) and Rich (1A eight-player).
The RPI rankings are used to seed the playoffs after Week 10, and are based 45% on winning percentage, 45% on opponents’ winning percentage, and 10% on opponents’ opponents winning percentage. This is the fourth year the formula is using a 45-45-10 calculation.
In the latest Deseret News weekly rankings, the top team in each classification are Skyridge (6A), Brighton (5A), Ridgeline (4A), Canyon View (3A), San Juan (2A), Enterprise (1A) and Rich (1A 8-player).
Here’s a look at the detailed RPI rankings for each classification:
