Sammy Swordsman Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 A new metric for Tier ranking will be the Mendoza Handicap. Modeled after baseball's Mendoza line, this handicap will represent a teams effort at scheduling relevant games. No team with a negative Mendoza handicap will be considered for Tier 1. The impact on the other Tiers is being decided. As a test, below are the sample Mendoza handicaps on a few teams. Based on 2021 end of year rank vs. non district schedules for 2022. SFA - +54 Bishop Gorman - +51 Mater Dei - +38 DLS - +38 AHP - +28 Allen - +22 Los Al +19 SJB - +18 IMG - +6 Bergen Catholic +4 Saguaro - +4 Miami Central - -(4 Folsom - (-4) Venice - (-8) Santa Margarita -(-9) Colquitt - (-14) St. Ed - (-16) Don Bosco - (-23) STA - (-26) Below are the initial 1.0 metrics for figuring a teams Mendoza Handicap Based on Non district schedule Points for scheduling a Better team 1 point for every 10 spots ranked higher. Capped at 5 Points for scheduling a worse team minus 1 per every 50 spots lower. *capped at -4 Bonus for scheduling a Top 100 Top 10 = 20, Top 25 = 15;, Top50 = 10; Top75 = 5; Top 100 = 3 point Net Bonus for scheduling a a team ranked 100 point worse minus 1 per every 100 spots lower.*Capped at -4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Swordsman Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 The official 2022 starting Mendoza handicap for the 2022 season will need to wait until the preseason polls come out. The Mendoza handicap will adjust weekly as teams rankings change. We will use the Composite for the Top 25 and Calpreps for the rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Swordsman Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Right now the Mendoza quantifies a SOS. For The Tiers I can say that no team with a negative Mendoza rating would be in Tier 1. This is due to said team not putting together a schedule that can properly Vett them. The Mendoza rating will be based on Non conference/league/district scheduled games. As the season moves into the conference season, then conference wins over higher ranked teams, (not losses), will be included/added to the Mendoza rating. (this prevents teams from benifitting by losses and skewing the numbers. For Example: Santa Margarita has a (-10) starting Mendoza rating which disqualifies them for Tier 1. Lets say they run the table and beat MD and SJB in league. Those wins will be included in the Mendoza formula which would add +47 Mendoza points giving Santa Margarita a net +37 Mendoza rating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
