So what's everybody think? Garbage right?

 

I always get the feeling a lot of people think the ratings are garbage because their team is ranked too low.

 

So, specifically which teams are ranked too low?

Since the best team in the state can't be ranked it does seem to be a fairly questionable system.

With the obvious placing of Trinity #1 eventually and moving everyone down a slot, pretty close. 1-4 (2-5) are probably interchangeable on a given night.

Not even worth discussing for me. Newspaper ratings are outdated. If I want accurate ratings I use the ones on this site. If I want computer ratings or prediction models for out of state teams I go to calpreps.

I might print this out for bathroom use.
