The Maher Rankings have been calculating rankings for high school soccer in Kentucky since 2011, and in Ohio since 2013. The rankings have been adopted by the Kentucky High School Girls Soccer Coaches Association, and sited frequently by the Louisville Courier Journal. We just took our first foray into basketball. Please give it a look. It is our first cut, there are quite possibly some bugs, but we will iron those out given some time. The most obvious is that there are a few teams with incomplete Region numbers.

 

The rankings include features that ported over from the soccer rankings fairly easily: By Region Rankings, Strength of Schedule, Region Strengths, and Movers of the Week. In the future, we have plans to do All-time Rankings, and an Upset of the Week.

 

The rankings typically run at about an 80-85% prediction rate by about the halfway point of the season.

 

Please take a look and let us know what you think. You can comment directly on the site as well.

There is more about the ranking calculation method on the About page.

These look pretty good, I did notice they do not take into account out of state losses, hence Ballard and KCC are listed as undefeated.

I only know Region 9 from top to bottom.

 

I would say these rankings are solid. I even like the differential from top 2 to the next grouping.

That's right, out of state games are not factored in at all.

Thank you stinky, it is hard for me to know how each individual team or region stack up. I can really only know the teams in my area, and then how the rankings perform on aggregate.
