For a lot longer than I care to think about I have been working on a ranking system aka ‘a toy’. It is based on last years power rankings that I tabulated and then influenced by enrollment, last years district standing, lettermen lost, returning, and starters returning. The last 4 items are taken out of DCTF so blame him if the rankings do go the way you want.

After a lot of regression testing and trying to quantify the influence on each of these areas, I think I have my system ready to run. It will get better as time goes on as I recessively apply corrections in a 4 week moving window so hopefully towards the end of the season I will have a good ranking system. I tested the system during last years play offs and only missed 5 games. So I am going public this year.

It’s not rocket science, but seems pretty damn close to it. Anyway, I haven’t done anything with the tapps or independents. I don’t have a clue how one can harness that much data, just doing div 1 and 2 is kicking my butt. I will try to bring those teams on line this year.

So here is the first run aka preseason rankings. If this can be kept up I’ll do it all year but if work gets in the way, well I do like the paycheck. I will try to predict upcoming game as well so we can all take big ol jabs when I miss.

Avalon 1
Walnut Springs 2
Covington 3
Kopperl 4
Waxahachie Advantage 5

Avalon is on the rise, it will be hard to knock off WN. But it will be done at our place this year. Covington is also on the rise but they will be in a close third.

Walnut will be better than last season only losing 3 seniors. Avalon last year had no answer for the Walnut defense, do you really think it will be any different this year??? Walnut players are determined to still prove themselves because many haters still doubt them. Walnut will rise to the top ONCE AGAIN!!! My perdictions:

1. Walnut
2. Kopperl
3. Avalon
4. Covington
5. Waxahachie

Second Kb's rankings... Although, it has been a few years since I seen anyone in D-12 play... 1700 miles is a little to far to drive on the weekends to watch unfortunately.
