Considering they are ranked 14/15 in Simmons and 6/15 in Maxpreps, how do you think a Crest or Shelby would fair playing against top teir 4A opponents? How do you think they would do in the 4A playoffs?
What kind of validity do you put into Brian's forumla? Do you think it would be valid to assume for say a game between Shelby and Butler according to his rattings, Shelby would be favored by 2 points against Butler if playing in Shelby? Or do you think Butler would beat the breaks off them? Do you think Maxpreps ranking of 2A Monroe at #11 overall in the state is valid and that they could beat the 4A opponents listed below them? Just wondering if there is validity to these rankings or if you think they are a joke.
