hard to understand how St X was listed #1 in the entire state this morning in new Lit ratings....Simon Kenton #2 . 2A Desales did get a bit of respect at #8

St. X beating BG was huge. Beating BG by the score it did even more so.

 

CalPreps, which uses a similar formula, has X fourth. Male and T are both hurt in the Litkenhous because of their out-of-state wins (not included). So remove Male and T from the list of teams which could be ahead of X (Male has enough in-state wins, but trading its Indiana win for a win against a lesser KY opponent drops the Bulldogs).

 

Looking at X's numbers, it is 2-0 with two 26-point (or more) wins against two top-3,000 teams in the country (no other KY team has that average).

 

According to CalPreps, only X (beat BG) and SK (beat Bryan Station) have wins against another top-15 team in the rankings. But SK's strength of schedule is lower because of playing Conner.

 

X: 26.5 winning margin against average opponent rating of 1976.

SK: 32.3 winning margin against average opponent rating of 2747.

Scott County: 29.3 winning margin against average opponent rating of 2947.

 

As for DeSales, CalPreps has the Colts ninth (pretty close to Lit rating). Butler (beaten by a Meade team which might go just ,500 this year) and Fairdale (currently 0-3 and also lost to Bullitt Central) lower the strength of schedule, almost canceling out the good win against Ballard.

 

Change Bullitt Central (ranked 60th) for John Hardin (ranked 44th and likely to climb for playing PRP) and the Colts climb a bit.

Can't wait to see the new rankings.
