"Power+" Football Rankings - 16 Regions (2023)

[Runcible Owl]

🏈 1️⃣6️⃣ How would a 7-on-7, all-class football ranking look - based on Basketball's 16 Region configuration? 

The WOPR combined nationally recognized ratings systems** to compile its fledgling Football "Region Rankings." 

Each squad's statewide rank can contribute to its Region's points and the lowest point totals rate highest. "Power+" rewards depth beyond the tallied Top 7 - lower ranked teams can push another Region's total higher. 

BGP's latest Rankings are noted.

I have a low threshold of boredom. How much can we hash over RPI, CalPreps, Massey, etc.

I'm a "Basketball Guy." It's easier for this old bird to wrap his head around what teams are good in a Region. Take a deep breath, it seemed to work here 🤷

Every metro media center "promotes" their local teams. I'm frequently interested in what other folks are interested in - from Paducah to Pikeville.

Think Global, Buy Local.

Region 6 is definitely a better basketball region than football by a wide margin.
