Qryche11 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Somebody needs to enlighten this dude or maybe this is an old list. CovCath should be where NCC is at 23. Holy Cross should be at 16 and NCC at #20. I think Dixie/HC and NCC are all legit Top 20 teams. Cov Cath has played a tough enough schedule to probably warrant a crack into the Top 25.

Qryche11 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 They should call it the COMPUTER rankings then instead of Dave Cantrell rating the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurplePride92 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 East Jessamine at 21? Third best team in the 12th region. Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFB64 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I am not sure of who played each other within the state. But i do know that Holy Cross played Bowling Green twice on a neutral court and beat them twice. How are they ranked at 8 or even above HC. I do think they are a very good team but they should not be ranked higher, even with the loss to Holmes the past week, HC's record is 14-2. That does not make sense.

TAC Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Seems they are about a week late. For starters, Cath stock has dropped and New Cath's has risen over what I see on here. I have a hard time believing 4 ninth region teams make the cut. Edited January 16, 2012 by TAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRC has beaten #10 Manual and #11 Southwestern on a netural court. Both ranked above GRC. Last week GRC fell one spot and hasn't lost a game since Dec 9th. We are 18-2.

Jim Schue Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Don't forget that margin of victory is a big factor in these ratings also, so if your team is squeaking by in close games and somebody else is blowing people out, that plays heavily into the formula.

Wireman Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I think Cantrall uses an IBM 386 to calculate his rankings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
