CJ Issues first Litkenhouse Rankings for 2015 High School Football Season . . .

[Riverside 157]

Courier Journal has determined that subscriptions are down significantly throughout the Commonwealth and have taken the following measure to increase revenue in markets where they have poor visability as a publication. OK => Im joking but it all sounds good!!!!!

 

Just some quick comments about the LIT Ratings. They do not hold much value and their is a subjective element that is NOT computer generated that goes into the rankings. Of course this is no big deal but I do laugh about it several times a year. Case and point: the CJ has issued the rankings for at least ~45 years and have always given the disclaimer:"The Litratings do not factor games against out-of-state opponents." Several years ago (maybe 2, 3 or 4) the first LIT Ratings had Trinity at No. 1 and they had not played a KY opponent for the first several weeks of the season!!!! Chew on that for a while!!!!! Funny, Funny!!!

 

As it appeares in the CJ:

 

Here are the first edition of The Courier-Journal’s high school football Litkenhous Ratings. The Litratings do not factor games against out-of-state opponents.

I have seen gorillas at the zoo fling feces against the wall that made more sense than these

This list does not merit discussion.

[macdon]

When was the last time Highlands was NOT in the top 20?

 

When was the last time Highlands played with a running clock.....and they were losing?

[Big Five -0-]

Appreciate seeing my class A Pikeville Panthers at the top. However, I don't by it.

[sports fan]

T is trying to remain the underdog for the X game.

[JDEaston]

I'm surprised Mickey Mouse didn't get any respect, isn't Goofy coaching that team now?

[frankdracman23]

Nice to see CovCath having a good season and in at #4 .
