Regardless the weights need to make sense? A team with NO title game appearances is not better than high school with 10 title losses. (-5 pts). Again total and utter nonsense. You can make statistics say what you want. Your model is fun and I applaud the work, but it's no more than someone barking "My team is better than yours".

Title losses are not counted against themselves. A team with 10 titles loses and no wins would have 5 points from State Title games not -5 points.

Take the real example:
(No team on the list has 0 appearances so I will pull out one to compare)
The full state title value is calculated as below

(State Title Score + State Title Era Modifier) which is the below formula
(Appearance + W Weight + L Weight) + (post Weight + pre-weight)

Rockastle (0-2) has 1pt total for State Title Score
(2 + 0 + -1) = (2 + -1) = 1

Russell (1-1) has 2 points for State Title Score
(2 + .5 + -.5) = (2.5 + -.5) = 2

Bell Co.(2-0) has 3 points for State Title Score
(2 + 1 + 0) = 3

Pike Central
(0 + 0 + 0) = 0

Then the era modifier is added to that to get the overall total points for state titles.

As you can see Rock is not negative points for losing a state title, and therefore are not worse or below Pike Central who has no appearances. Is it the best formula for valuing state titles? Probably not, but I don't think I would say it's nonsense. Alos if you have a better calculation I would love to see it.
