oldrambler Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I am not trying to dispute any team coach or players. My question is how the heck can they come up with a "National" ranking for High School. This just seems to me that it would be a popularity contest at best and/or who has the most press coverage an in a highly popuated area for there to be a lot of "ink" given to them. JMO and question.

I tend to agree with you. I don't give them much value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, but it is fun if your team is mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrambler Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Probably, but it is fun if your team is mentioned. O.K., I agree wth you and Shamrock. I just don't see how they could get a legit national ranking.:thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HT721 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I don't look at these as legit either, the first one listed doesn't even have South Panola out of Mississippi that has the longest win streak in the country and I believe has only had one game where they haven't won by at least 30 points.

Diogenes Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I just saw the link. It appears that X is tied for 5th in the country. Like many who posted above, I do not put a lot of stock in this type of rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riverside 157 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 It is a biref honor and more of a distraction in all reality. I dont think it really motivates the kids or players. In my opinion, it inflates the expectations and loweres the hunger for a team to keep performing at their highest level..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyBW Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 Max preps has St.X #6 - there is a link from USA Today! Actually, they're tied with Mater Dei at #5 in that ranking, with 60.2 points. Also, South Panola is ranked 31. Part of the reason they're not ranked higher, is they've only played one team in the Top 1,000 (according to this ranking) and just two top 3,000 teams. X for example has played 4 top 1,000 teams and only Oldham County wasn't ranked in the top 3,000. The ranking might drop, even if the Tigers continue to win as the schedule eases up a bit.
