what some of you have to realize is anytime you have a "triangle" of wins, it makes it very diffucult to rank teams.
For example, knox beat rock, rock beat russell, russell beat knox. Now, who really DESERVES to be at the top? Its a total judgement call.

You also have to consider how teams play weak schedules early and beat teams that end up not losing after the get beat by that team.
For example, while Manual beat Butler and PRP, however having the schedule they had caused them to lose games after that while Butler and PRP started winning. Once again, total judgment call. You got some who say if you lose, no matter what, you drop.
Then you got some who say if you lose but its to a higher ranked team you stay the same or maybe move up.

For me it's more than just wins & losses, it's how you perform against your opponent based on how good they are (all of which is subjective). For instance, a few weeks back CovCath was playing Beechwood on a Saturday. I was fairly confident that CovCath would win and deserved a higher ranking in 4A than #4, but PM'd RIUTG to let him know that I was waiting to see how they performed to determine if they should move up or not. CovCath ended up winning by 12 points which I didn't feel was a strong enough performance to overtake Boyle or LexCath at the time. So, I left them at #4. Had they won by 16-20+, I probably would have moved them up then, even though Boyle or LexCath hadn't lost that week.

The thing that make this hard is that each class isn't just playing within their class. So you almost have to think of the rankings as a whole, then pull out the individual classes. I know I put a lot of thought into the 4A rankings, and I would expect that these other guys do as well. And I know mine aren't perfect by any stretch of the imagination. That's why we always welcome input.
