Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in the three seasons that I have done the Hensley Rating System; I have decided to start doing the ratings for the regular season and not just the playoffs.

 

I must not take any credit for the numbers that are produced...however; all the credit goes to both the Louisville Courier-Journal's LitRatings and the Lexington Herald-Leader's CantrallRatings. All that I have done is to enter the figures from both papers into an Excel sheet, added them together and divided by two, sort them into order from highest to lowest, and post them.

 

I will be maintaining the HRS for the remainder of the season so please be sure to post your comments about them and to keep checking back each and every week for updated standings.

 

The standings for Class 5A are:

 

Rank……Team (Record)……Rating……Previous……Next Opponent

 

1. Bowling Green (4-1)……112.15……2……@ Franklin-Simpson

2. Highlands (5-0)……109.50……1……Hopkinsville

3. Owensboro (5-0)……97.80……3……@ Boone County

4. John Hardin (5-0)……94.50……4……@ North Hardin

5. Dixie Heights (2-2)……93.35……6……@ Conner

6. Covington Catholic (1-4)……90.20……9……Beechwood

7. Johnson Central (4-1)……88.60……5……OPEN

8. Lincoln County (3-1)……88.35……8……@ Rockcastle County

9. Woodford County (5-0)……86.35……NR……@ Franklin County

10. Mercer County (3-2)……85.15……NR……@ Watertown (TN)

 

Dropped out: Christian County (7) & Warren Central (10)

I think you need to redo your numbers.... Woodford beat JC 43-22....how can JC be ranked higher than Woodford?????:confused:

Again, it's not my numbers that should be at question if anyone has any.

 

I get the numbers from the LitRating and CantrallRating and take an average of those two. If by some chance that those two have one team higher than the other, then mine will as well.

 

I will however say that personally, there are spme teams that I would rank higher than others if it were based on my opinion but these polls are not.

The Herald Leader ratings are so far out in space that no one who has ever seen a football game would take them seriously. Woodford County behind Covington Catholic, Dixie Heights,Johnson Central and now it gets crazy.... Lincoln County??? Lincoln has tons of tradition but only an average team this year. Mercer Co in the top ten ??? Oh well, rank the Yellowjackets low it will keep them hungry !!
