Those are not teams a powerhouse shouldn’t be playing. They are decent teams for their area but not the state. Gadsden may arguably be a team who could be 50-100 range in Florida (solid program) but usually overschedules But yes they have no business playing a lowndes though to their credit they took niceville to OT and beat an at the time undefeated Mosely team last year despite their horrible record on paper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until they start scheduling nationally, then you can post them. 🫣 Spartanburg SC is a vgood team. Watch them play #17 Hughes on 8/20 on Flo!

Nolebull813 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) Lowndes finished higher in GA than AHP did in FL last year I believe. This isn’t an slam dunk. Plus AHP has to deal with the 10 bus ride, new coaching staff and GA refs. Edited July 15, 2022 by Nolebull813 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langston finished last year at #105. Spartansburg finished at #762 If Langston started 2022 ranked at #25 and Spartansburg started at #700 then Langson would lose (-7) Mendoza points for scheduling Spartanburg. And Spartansburg would gain 20 Mendoza points for scheduling Langston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I was talking to Sammy I was under the impression that it will be used to create a formula that would be applied to a ranking to add and drop teams with a low or high Mendoza ranking Of course we have to see how that will look first Edited July 15, 2022 by Columbiafan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 (not losses) will be included/added to the Mendoza rating. 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also ranks a 5-0 team with a (+5) Mendoza rating at #47, then we would have a quantifiable metric to challenge Omaha Vol's rankings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's something we been discussing privately but I think next step is to take a few teams at parts of a top 100 and apply a test with the current numbers I suggested and we can see the results after the fact to see if we need to adjust the numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head to head results vs top-flight opponents (both in-state and OOS) will always be the ultimate factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a handful of games worth mentioning. Milton vs CBA and LA Cedar Grove vs SJC Brookwood vs Bishop Gorman Lowndes vs AHP. what else you got?
