Dave Cantrall's rating the State

[charlesw88]

This is from the Lexington Herald-Leader. The top 5 is right, IMO. I think Henry Clay can be a little bit higher. Opinions?

How is Trinity #2? And how is Henry Clay #12, far under SK?

It is a pretty dumb idea to rank the entire state outside of classifications, but if you had to do it - this is not a horrible list.

 

However, Henry Clay at #12 is pretty bad, especially since I have the Blue Devils No. 2 in 6A. I don't understand why everyone is ranking CovCath.

Wow Highlands would beat Trinity by 40 points, and St. X probably by 20.

 

I do like 7 out of the 25 teams being from Northern KY though.

Woah, woah, woah! I go back on what I said. I clearly was not paying attention. You're right! For some reason I said the top 5 is right. Highlands is clearly #1 with St. X #2. If you had to do the top 5, how would it look? This can go for everyone...

Even my dog knows Highlands is #1 in the state.(THIS YEAR!!) Lou. St.X should be #2.

[UK fball fan]

Highlands should be ranked #1, but, if they played St X heads up, I'd pick the Tigers. I just think they're a deeper, more talented team, regardless of the outcomes of the Cinci St X games..Sometimes theres just a different mindset from game to game and I think Cinci St X was really pumped for Lou St X and I think they played very flat against Highlands, possibly because of the Elder game the following week or from being emotionally spent from the 2-3 wks prior...Thats not a knock on Highlands, just an opinion..

Channel 9 reports that Highlands is ranked#9 in the USA poll and #4 in the maxpreps poll. (Congrats Birds, just keep on winning!) :ylsuper:

Does Cantrall's system take out of state games into account? I know the Lit doesn't.

Cantrall does not ... the only ones that do are the Massey and MaxPreps ratings, which go nationwide.

[Ram Fan04]

Highlands is ranked nationally how does someone not put them number one?

Check out the two posts above yours.

 

It is a computer ranking, it isn't subjective to human thought or intervention. It just crunches numbers and spits out rankings based on a formula.

 

The key point is this system does NOT take into account any out of state games.

 

Therefore, it doesn't penalize Trinity or St X for a loss to Cincy St X, nor does it reward Highlands for defeating them.
