Thats the message on the NCHSAA page. All the bean counters are huddled around their crystal ball and Ouiga boards. Oh the anticipation .....
Oh we already know it will be Messed UP. Every thing they get their grubby fingers on is. This will be no different. Im sure they are looking at the biggest Gate producing matchups first round and on.
1. Last year a team was left off that clearly had a higher ranking.
2. Just what is the ADJUSTMENT in the adjusted rankings?
Adjusted Rankings, ANY rankings are a load of crap. Straight record only. A good loss is a LOSS, cut and dry.
I like it... but then I don’t like it.
Take Bartlett Yancey for example. They are 9-2. They are not good. Not even close to playoff worthy.
Somehow, its possible that they may not make the playoffs in this current format.
Nothing is perfect at all, but I do like it better than the old predetermined brackets when a stellar conference champ could meet a stellar conference champ in round two.
