09/08/2008 Courier-Journal Litkenhous Football Ratings

Featured Replies

So every week they are averaged in and the coincedental scoring margin will disappear???
The scoring margins, if major outliers, will disappear.

 

What happens is a team like St X with a score of 150 plays Male with a score of 125 and only beats them by 10 the St X score will go down a little, I don't know if Males score improves or not, but I think it will. Where it really hurts is if St X plays a team that has a really low score like say 50, if they don't score 100 points there current score will reduce significantly.

Not so sure about that...I'd think T & X would likely beat Colerain this year and teams like Male & Manual could at least play as competitive and probably J.Hardin, Ft Campbell & BGreen could, as well...Of course, we'll never know because they won't play them, so, it's just speculation either way...

 

Do you really think that John Hardin, Ft Campbell, and Bowling Green could play competitively with Colerain?

I guess it's debateable what would be considered competitive...Do I think those teams would beat Colerain? no...Do I think they could play just as competitive(if that's what you'd call it) as Highlands did...Possibly...I think Trinity is as strong and deep as Colerain is this year and BG played as well against them as FtH did against Colerain and I think JHardin is as strong, if not better, than BG this year, so, it's not a stretch...Ft Campbell is a little stretch, I admit, but, they've certainly got there share of talented players that'll play at the next level, so, for a half, possibly so...

The Humane Society would not allow Ft. Campbell to play Colerain. Those who have actually seen Colerain realize the gap between them and nearly every Kentucky team. I do think that Trintiy and X could hang in there, but Ft. Campbell would be totally embarassed. The 3rd. quarter beating that Colerain put on Highlands was painful to watch. The score was not iddicative of the differential between the two teams. When not attending a Beechwood game I root for Highlands so I am not a member of the "ridicule N. Ky football circle". This group equates every Ohio team with St X., Elder and Colerain and inflates their opinion of the remainder of the Cincinnti teams. I do think that Cinci has other good teams, but many of these guys go too far in naming Cincinnati teams that could beat Highlands.

I wish the guy whyo does the Lit ratings would get a job in Las Vegas.

Like you said, the score wasn't indicative of the differencial between the 2 teams, so, like I said in the earlier post, I guess it's what someones perception of competitive is...It's very likely Colerain would dismantle Ft Campbell the same way they did Highlands, but, the Humane Society approves alot worse...My point is, there are other teams who could take a beatin' too and the score may or may not reflect that fact...If Colerain happened to be ahead 42-0 in the 4th qtr against someone and then gave up say a kickoff return for a score, then fumbled on there next possession and that team scored again and then they scored again against the reserves late and it ended 42-21, would you consider that competitive..I wouldn't even if the score looks 1/2 way respectable..Then you could take that same scenario, 42-0 going into the 4th and the other team starts playing there JV and Colerain tacks on 21 more and it ends up 61-0, all of sudden it looks like a serious tail kickin, when in fact both teams got handled very easily...

I wish the guy whyo does the Lit ratings would get a job in Las Vegas.

 

It would only take a day or two and he would be asked to take a ride into the desert !

 

:lol:

This rating system is better later in the year than the beginning. The scores are more true to the actual level of the teams than they are now

CLASS A
1.Raceland 98.6
2.Beechwood 97.2
3.Lexington Christian 86.3
4.Bellevue 84.0
5.Holy Cross 79.7
6.Hazard 79.1
7.Fulton City 77.5
8.Eminence 76.2
9.Mayfield 75.0
10.Fairview 71.8

Obviously the Litkenhous had this right, St. X and Trinity 1 an 2. And I'm sure they're as good advertised. That will be our 6A state championship again (Big Surprise). Not taking away from St. X and Trinity, 6A is boring if you aren't from those two schools. They are obviosly head and shoulders above the rest of Jefferson Co. and the state. Why don't they place their programs emphasis on the national scene rather than beating up on sub par instate competition only to recieve a watered down Kentucky State Championship. Any thoughts???
