#16 Garrard beat #10Powell 38-0 to start the season. weird

I think Garrard would win that head to head 9 times out of 10. These stats are indicative of how I think they are ranked in any way. Garrard played a tougher schedule and had three winds over winning programs while Powell didn't beat a single winning program. Garrard falls on the power ranking simply because they were so inefficient moving the ball and scoring.

are you using stats filed with the KHSAA by the schools?

That was the base data. I cross referenced it against what other schools posted and then filled in gaps with news articles and recaps to complete the data set.

I love stats, but.........give me Tilghman & Garrard over Floyd Central, Powell or Bell Co all day.

I don't disagree at all. As I stated above the power ranking isn't meant to be a top 16 list but just how they stack up by the numbers this season. As like most seasons I think PT is better than their record, not a premiere team in 3A but better than their record suggests. Obviously SoS is hard to calculate in and while ETown by the numbers is the best team in the list I would rank them at probably 4th or 5th if I were doing a list by my gut as I think Belfry, Boyle and Corbin are better and Central may be even if their offense is lethargic.
