I see you Mike. Pushing May on up the rankings chart. You can stop at 5. We are ok no need to go any further. Just be sure to keep Westbrook ahead of us. You gotta keep Fencelineguy happy.
2024 Rankings
- Thread starter Tigerfan85
- Start date
The plan is to move y'all up a few spots each week so you can be sitting at #1 by the time the playoffs start.

Been wondering something for almost 2 weeks and was going to let it play out. But since this thread was started here we go.
Ok Mike, Granger used to catch heck occasionally about rankings. Seems the forum has been too easy on you. Lol I can’t quite figure out the Aquilla Cougars rapid rise in the rankings/ratings

Specifically it was the updated week 2 rise in rank/rating after beating #112 ranked ETHS in game 2 that has me perplexed. Aquilla beat a #114 Covington the week before by 28 with little change. At the time Aquilla jumped into top 10 I just could not figure out how that happened. Glad this thread opened. Thanks Tigerfan85

ETHS was rated much higher earlier in the season (300+ at the time of the Aquilla game). This is likely what caused the large jump that week.

Ok I found something probably contributing to this. The East Texas Homeschool Chargers are highly ranked considering they are 0-3. They started out 13th preseason, week 1 ranked 15, week 2 #44, week 3 #59, and week 4 currently #112. Aquilla is the benefaactor of a highly over-ranked preseason ETHS.

Funny how the fan polls jumped on board and put Aquilla in their top 10 after they hit the sixman football top 10.
While they may have been giving a large boost in week 2, a lot of those points were probably taken away from them since then. Important to note, The Toy re-calculates every previous week during each week calculation, specifically to account for things like this. That could be why you see them as "only" getting a +.16 rating for beating Oakwood and "only" +12.15 for beating Milford. The truth is, they probably gained more points for each of those games, but they also lost points for the ETHS game because ETHS is dropping.
Aquilla has received top 10 votes in the fan polls since week 1, and they have progressively gotten more, higher votes, each week since. They were in the fan poll top 10 last week, but in The Toy's top 10 two weeks ago.

Can't help but notice the lack of value assigned to playing a competitive schedule yet losing all four games. Klondike is the Division 2 poster child playing all the big boys to date (4 top ten teams) and losing while the RS plays the bottom dwellers and running up the score and inching up in the rankings. What happened to the idea of nothing ventured nothing gained? I understand that the playoffs will rectify in time some of the differences in rankings but there isn't enough value assigned to playing a competitive schedule, win, lose or draw. The Toy doesn't quite make the cut on that issue. I noticed that there was not much movement in ranking number for either team from the start of the season but football is about competition and the Toy somehow doesn't make a distinction for avoidance behavior.

They're definitely not "inching up", at least not by my definition. The only reason they've moved up is because Klondike and Oglesby moved down after their losses. Richland's current rank is largely a product of them just starting the season ranked high. They're less than 1 rating point up from where they started. So, yeah, while they don't lose points because of their schedule, they aren't gaining a whole heck of a lot either.

There you go again TexLanghorn, making your dumb accusations about the schedules and taking your cheap shots at Richland Springs. I would bet that back in the day when you played, if you did even play, which is doubtful, that you were one of those guys who would hit just a little bit late or a little bit out of bounds or try to gouge an eye if you got a chance.
If a team refuses to play you can’t force them to. You either play who you can get or you only play district games. When the playoffs begin then you can worry about your ranking numbers.

Nothing cheaper than your cheap shots Johnny. I believe you have the scheduling routine backwards, your coaches are tackling shy.
This makes me think it would be neat to see who had the toughest district schedule. May be another page worth working out when I have the time. Should be able to build that one pretty easily, I think.

Klondike has to be up there with one of the toughest schedules.
