Boy, Bethelem still gets no respect.

It's all a formula, it's not someone's opinion.

 

I would assume if they palyed a tougher schedule non district they would be ranked higher.

No doubt. We will see what they are all about aginst Danville this week.

Few surprises here. I think it is right on in 2A. Mercer won't be challenged this year. I am surprised that they have the top two teams in 4A so tight. I think the Lit Rankings over at the CJ will have about a 15 point spread between Male and Trinity.

I understand. My opinion is that the formulas don't always show the proper respect. Just ask Bardstown.

Bardstown beat Bethlehem 28-0 the first time ... that game has to count, too.

In their two matchups, Bardstown was +19 in point differential, which would tell you that the Tigers may be 9.5 ratings points better than Bethlehem.

I know. My point is that these "ratings" are pretty pointless. Let's pretend Ohio State played in Kentucky's A classification. If they played in a crappy district and defeated their 10 opponents who were a combined 10-90, then they would probably "rate" below Beechwood.

The key words being "Let's pretend" ...

 

Are you intimating that Bethlehem should be ranked ahead of Beechwood?

No, but since they've beaten Bardstown, they should be ranked higher than #6 with a 55.5 rating.

Who would you put them in front of ?

What about Cov Cath being ranked over B.G. Any thoughts?

Personally, I don't see how they could put anyone over BG...Not that I think they're unbeatable, but, they've proven to be #1 until someone else beats them...Possibly because there district is weak with exception of WEast, but, there Non-district schedule was strong with WCentral and St X

Again, they weren't "put" there. It's a system, the numbers are what they are.

I agree. Pointless and usually wrong.
