For in-state (out of state wins NOT counted) such as LIT and Cantrall, Ryle's schedule is not that much weaker, if at all. For in-state, CovCath is ranked VASTLY different than out of state (because of CovCath's three out of state losses).

 

Plus, when you factor performance against common opponents, Ryle fared better (based on points allowed and point differential).

 

That being said:

 

- Knox Central beat Louisville Central

- Louisville Central beat St. X

 

Are you advocating for BOTH Knox Central and Louisville Central to be in the top 10 or so?

 

If they have played a harder schedule and have beat them yes. You get this same argument every time the rankings do not make sense. Upsets happen in the game of football, anyone can be beat on a particular night. However, Calpreps ranks Ryle's strength of schedule 30th versus Cooper's schedule 17th in 6A. When they played head to head, Cooper beat them. So how can you honestly support any poll that ranks Ryle ahead of Cooper. The equation used to calculate the ranking appears to be flawed.

Cooper is AHEAD of Ryle in CalPreps/MaxPreps.

 

Cooper is BEHIND Ryle in LIT and Cantrall (which factor CovCath differently and do NOT include 3 out-of-state losses for CovCath).

 

Surely you see why there can be a difference?

 

But again, computer does NOT care School A beat School B, so therefore A must be in front of B (while throwing everything else out the window).

 

Which is why I brought up Knox Central.

They beat Louisville Central.

But they're not ranked ahead of Louisville Central.

 

Same thing for Louisville Central beating X (but not being ranked ahead of X).

 

So therefore there must be something else that factors in.

 

I REALLY think CovCath's ranking is what helps Ryle in Cantrall/Lit (no out of state losses) but helps Cooper in MaxPreps/CalPreps (because it factors in those 3 losses).

I'll just say this, I don't know what Dave's thinking. :ohbrother:

Where's the comment I'm waiting for?

Maybe his computer came down with the flu, 'tis the season.

Rules to live by:

 

1) All polls have flaws

2) When in doubt refer to rule #1

 

Especially if you don't like the poll!:banana:

Wow he is way off on some of his class rankings. I think he must have been shooting darts too!

Where's the comment I'm waiting for?

Nothin?

Nothin?

 

I think I "may" know what your looking for. Maybe he is sleeping?
