Livingston is 2-0 and tied with LCM for first place in a very competitive 20-4A, but they are only #15.  I know it's early, but that still seems a little low to me.

[bmtball]

The problem with rankings this early is that its hard to separate the good teams from those that have yet to play tough teams.  PNG with 2 losses, being #4, yet 0-2, could really anger teams like Livingston, who beat PNG and is 2-0 in district.

But looking at overall records, I agree, for the most part.  Tough to do.  All of you in the rankings are doing a good job.

How do they rank these teams? what is the point system

I was told before that it is a group of Gentlemen that does the rankings.  I'm wanting to say they told me it was 6 or 7 guys.

Just by wins and loses or runs scored or runs allowed etc.?

Not 100% sure but I know they don't go by strength of schedule.  Also, it couldn't be record because Silsbee probably has the best record and they're sitting at 3.  Maybe someone else can answer.

7 voters each turn in their top 15.  #1 team gets 15 points.......#15 team gets 1 point.  All of the points are added up and this is what you get.

Well i know most Admin are from around here and it was kind of a question too. I am just trying to figure it out. Im not bashing any of the Admin they do a great job on this site.

[bmtball]

Really, there is no scientific, nor even accurate way to rank these teams.  Each team plays a completely different level of competition(5A vs 4A vs 3A vs 2A vs TAPPS).  So how can you be scientific?  Kind of like throwing NCAA Div I A, AA, NAIA, all in the same pot and then ranking them.  Really can't do it scientifically or objectively.

Just take it for what it is, a point of discussion.  The folks who vote on these polls do a great job with the limited resources at their disposal. Keep up the good work!
