NCC ranked several spots ahead of Holy Cross and Bellevue ranked ahead of Ludlow? 2 teams that just lost to their respective opponents this past friday but are ranked ahead of the teams that beat them.

It is this type of ranking system that causes one to question one Mr Cantrell and whatever methods he uses to rank the teams. I'm sure there are many more examples.

You can look at it one of two ways: 1) He doesn't know what he's talking about, or 2) if NewCath and Holy Cross played ten times, who would win more? Bellevue/Ludlow?

 

I tend to lean toward the latter when looking at his ratings, not necessarily as a "one-game-only" predictor.

Ryle looks in the right spot...

These rating are horrible.

 

One class 2a team in the top 25?

I sure hope this Cantrell guy gets paid well for his rankings.

If NCC played HC 10 times I would imagine NCC would win about 9 out of 10 times. If Bellevue played Ludlow 10 times then I would imagine Ludlow would beat Bellevue 10 out of 10 times based upon what I saw from the Tigers this past Friday. Just not a very good football team, IMO.

Hc played Ncc once this season and Hc won. Thats what matters. Not what if's. These ratings are a joke.

:thumb: I agree with you 100%. I was simply responding to another post that was made.. These polls are a joke.

I'm betting there will be another meeting between the two, perhaps as early as the first Friday in November.

 

What I meant in my previous post, wrestler, was that when looking at computer ratings, they shouldn't be consider a one-game predictor. If a team is rated higher, that means that they will beat the other team more often than not.

That's surprising. I didn't realize Bellevue was that down this year. I guess they lost a great deal from last years team?
