Fort Campbell ranked 15th in 2A? They must be using the BCS formula or something. :idunno:

Their three games against Tennessee school do not count. The Lit Ratings do not factor in out of state opponents. It will all be ok. Come in from the ledge. :lol:

I agree. These have always been terrible ratings though.

Ahhhhh, that explains a lot. Thanks for the explanation.

 

Later.

Do we have to look? There are always so many of these:ohbrother::ohbrother::ohbrother::ohbrother::ohbrother::ohbrother:

Makes for good bulletin board material or toilet paper, not sure which. :puke:

Too late, :jump:

All the rhetoric aside.

 

How does any raking, computer, voter, etc... rank a team who hasn’t lost to a 2A team since November 3rd, 2006, and is the two time defending champions in their class ranked 15th???? Come on! Fort Campbell is like 30-3 over the last three years! Completely ridiculous. I would be embarrassed to publish this crap. 15th with almost half of 2A ranked above them?? Come on! I can’t believe they actually published it.

First, how should this year's computer ranking take into account anything other than this season?

 

Second, its already been established that it doesn't count out-of-state opponents. Fort Campbell is very good, but according to this system, they only have one win. Some schools have four.

 

Third, it isn't fair, but you can guarantee that this will play out with Fort Campbell at #1 in about two weeks.

 

Fourth, it completely doesn't matter because only the games on the field count!

It doesn't matter, except for the fact that it completely discounts Fort Campbell’s record, recent history, and true ability. So in other words it’s useless and not worth the paper it’s printed on, and I just want to make that perfectly clear.

But we probably knew that going in, right?!

Rank Highlands 15th in 5A and watch the post count go UP!

Everyone knows that Fort Campbell is much better than the 15th best team in 2A. These are computer rankings that follow a formula. In the polls where humans have a bigger part the rankings look a lot different. The computer only has 1 game to rank Fort Campbell and it is doing it from an algorithm, not from observation. The computer just ranks the information it has. Remember, this is ranking high school players--around half of the players that won the last 2 titles have graduated. Once the Falcons win some games against Kentucky schools they'll be where they belong. Besides, I'm guessing the only thing that Fort Campbell's players are worrying about is winning this week's game and rolling to a threepeat. :thumb:

When you look at the margin of Fort Campbell and Fort Knox in the Lit Ratings, and take into effect it's the only game for the Falcons that they have to go on, the Lit ratings look pretty accurate.
