They do NOT have a computerized system that uses strength of schedule, head-to-head matchups, indirect matchups, winning percentage, and opponent winning percentages to calculate these rankings...
DNews doesn't spend a lot of time figuring out these rankings. It's whoever is winning at the time, no matter who they are beating. Plus, they have to put in some 2A teams when they are dominant in their classification even though they probably would not beat most of the teams below them. It does get a lot of attention even though none of these rankings really matter when the state tournaments starts. State Tournament teams, thank goodness, are not seeded by any rankings. I think a coaches poll would help out a lot but there is really no way any rankings could be exactly perfect. In the end, it really doesn't matter anyway. It is fun to speculate though
Emery is #4 in 3A and has four losses.....2 of the losses are to who???
Wasatch beat South Sevier by one point in a game that could have went either way. They are ranked #1 in 3A.
They move the 2a teams around at their whim anyway to make sure you "big girls" get your due. example: Richfield moves down this week after two wins and going 18-0.
You want to see some real basketball??? Try South Sevier at Richfield this Thursday!
good girls teams each year thanks to club soccer and Volleyball. It makes for a predictable tournament. Riverton hammers Syracuse in one semi final and AF will make Bingham's life miserable in the other.
Also, AF has lost 5 games in the past two years. The widest point spread in any lost game has been 4 points (including two games against very good teams from AZ and CO). If Riverton does beat AF it won't be by more than 5.
Riverton creates problems for AF at several positions but I think AF has more overall skill & experience playing good teams. I expect AF vs Riverton in the Final ... a very good game ... and within 5 points.
Looks like our kids have already done the talking.
Also, they are girls, so we don't have small man syndrome. Makes me worry about those "Manly" teams you are taking about in a BIG region.
You, by chance, wouldn't be from East Germany...would you????
