Interesting.... Yes

Surprising..... No

 

A few days ago I suggested that CCH would not move above the Rocks, even with the win.

 

Good thing is, they can win the title on Saturday, and not worry about the rankings. :thumb:

Yep......I'm sorry, but if head to head doesn't have a larger factor in the rankings then there is a flaw. CCH beats Trinity on a neutral pitch, and quite frankly, it wasn't as close as the 2-1 score, if you consider shots on goal, possession, and the fact that it was 2-0 until 5 minutes left in the game.....

 

The biggest factor of which team is better is which one wins when they go head to head.

Maher may not be perfect, but it is as accurate as KY HS soccer has ever had. All of those teams were in the mix all year long & most were represented in the state tourney. Some were in tougher regions & eliminated, but still deserved top ranking. The best algorithm is winning it all. CC can move to the top by beating HC - and vice versa.

But that isn't guaranteed......with the algorithm, does winning it all really move you to the top....assume CCH wins Saturday....The last time they beat the number 1 team, it moved them up 1 spot to 4........so winning it all and beating the current maher number 1 could move them to the 3rd spot......if history repeats

Maher is predictive, not determinative. The KHSAA trophy is the final word on who is #1 in the state at the end of the year. It is a simple algorithim... read the engraving on the trophy.

Excellent point....
