I doubt Alcoa has been as good as their ranking there. That said, it is cool to see them recognized for their consistency as a less-than-huge public program. Quote

He's always had TN weighted way too high. From what he's told me, he's adjusted accordingly going fwd. 1 Quote

They get unfairly penalized every year for 2-3 automatic losses to SJB and The Stache. Servite would win the majority of games vs Ryan, Marysville, and Pick Central during this time span. Servite was pretty good in 2013 and 2014 with Travis Waller at QB. Much better than they got credit for. Alot of these programs have been exposed recently when they played OOS. Example, Servite played SJB closer in 2019, 2020 and 2021 than every OOS power that SJB played during those years, yet Servite got ranked lower in some cases. Quote

No significant OOS games ever. Hoover- Scheduled and got drilled by IMG 3x. They deserve that credit. Hoban- Running-clocked by BC. Oakland- agree. Center Grove- agree. Catholic BR- hammered GC SJR- OOS wins vs JSerra, Serra, DeMatha, DFB, and ED when they finished #2 in USA. SJP- on same level with top BNU teams. Ryan- agree. Marysville- agree. Pick Central-agree Bryant-agree. Trinity*- agree* Highland Park- agree Guyer-agree Chambers- agree Karr-agree Alcoa-agree Cathedral- beat LaSalle OH as bad as IMG did. Legit. Bixby-agree Buford- lost to DFB, C-M. Pussed out vs SJP this season. I'm ok with them. Male- agree Jenks- agree Aledo- agree Massilon- agree Trinity Christian- agree Warner Robbins- seen them in person twice. They're deserving if Buford is. Cocoa- great OOS road warrior team back in the day. Approved. Central (Phenix City)- agree Collins Hill- agree. Loss to Kapowsin WA was a laugher last season Feedback above @Sammy Swordsman 1 Quote

To their credit they have been scheduling DLS alot of the years during this span and beat them. Which is more than the teams I singed out. My only beef with them was scheduling. 1 Quote

That’s what most of your top 100 teams do. It is what it is. Quote

Bosco was a laughing stock before Negro. MD has been winning championships since the 1950s. I think that qualifies as ‘relevant longer’. Even before the years you are considering, MD played for the championship in 2012, 2013 and 2016. 1 Quote

A loaded team that is ranked should seek/play a schedule that includes at least 2 non league opponents = > them, plus be in a league with at least 2 teams with comparable skill level. Absent this, a team would not achieve the vetting necessary to have their name in lights. 1 Quote

Teams can be good enough, regardless of their schedules. Quote
