Kentucky teams enrollment is used to slot them where they would fit in an Ohio class.

 

Thanks. Sounds like a decent system then. But I could still see some flaws.

I'm assuming KY X would be D-1 so they would get 6.5 points for beating them on level 1 and X has 6 wins so they would get credit for those wins on level 2.

Gotcha. Made me wonder because the Ashland/Ironton series was nearly eliminated due to Ohio's playoff system. Ashland is a larger school than Ironton, but Ironton was looking for a larger in state school to replace Ashland with to help them with the playoff system.

Understood. So how do they award points for out of state games then? How many points will cincy St x get if they beat Louisville St x?

 

Iam4thecats said it easier than I could have.

 

Because enrollment also helps/factors, it's better for Ohio teams to beat St. X and Trinity instead of DeSales and CAL and Lexington Catholic (as good as D-CAL-LexCath are) because of the enrollment bonus.

 

Ohio also does that to keep bigger schools from loading up on smaller schools just to pad their win total.

But wouldn't it also allow a traditionally good small school to load up on the bottom feeders of the large school class and get an easy ride to the playoffs?

They would lose out on level 2 points if they played bottom feeders (opponents wins)

Clearly I need to read up on this to hold a conversation about it. From what your explaining it does sound like a decent system though.

Basically Rule 1 is schedule enough teams that you can think you can beat because you only get points for wins.

 

Rule 2 is schedule enough teams you think you can beat and that those teams will win a decent amount of games because you get points for how good the teams you beat end up being.

Also if a team does not play 10 games for some reason then that is mathematically factored in.

Sounds like a massive scheduling headache for coaches and A.D's, but that is part of their job. Like I told cats though, I need to read up on this more, it does sound like a pretty good system.

In a good way or a bad way? Or an equal way?

Also note I only put the Top 20 (there are 37 teams in this Region)

 

Sycamore which beat CovCath 42-7 is 30th and is mathematically eliminated.

In a fair way. So a team is not penalized or rewarded if they only had 9 games. You just take those 9 results and mathematically average them to make 10 games.

It does have drawbacks.......obviously "really good" teams have trouble finding games.....that is why GCL South teams play so many games against Cleveland, Indiana and KY teams and never play games against GCL North (smaller schools) teams.

 

Also neighborhood rivals may not be able to play if say Team A has a 90% chance of beating Team B and Team B only wins a couple of game each year. Because the game does neither any good for computer points.

 

Likewise two neighborhood 6-4 teams may not play because it is 50/50 on who will win. So one or both may decide to find a team they can beat all the time if they think 7-3 will get them in.
