MileHigh Prep Report Week 9 Volleyball Power Rankings
With the RPI out those are the rankings that really matter the most. My rankings look more at what teams are the best when not just looking at the RPI numbers. The RPI rankings as you know look at 30% winning percentage, 40% opponents winning percentage, and 30% opponents opponents winning percentage. 3A has a lot of teams with solid records but loses to teams that they shouldn’t have lost to. I am hoping all 3 classes will start to clarify as the season moves on.
