Take a look again at my rankings post. It’s about how well they’re playing at this point in time against the schedule they’ve played up to this point. There are many factors that go into the ratings. One particular figure sticks out to me...schedule strength. MaxPreps has Vance’s schedule strength at 17.3. Mallard Creek’s is 30.3. Massey has Vance’s SOS at 29.28 whereas Mallard Creek’s is at 51.17. To me, though many other figures are similar, Vance’s rating was accomplished against a weaker schedule. Thus Mallard Creek was made the favorite by 5.

Once Again.....
So your numbers tell you that vance is the #1 team and Creek
is the #3 team, whats their purpose if your pick doesn't go by your numbers, does the system have a flaw that you just label honda override when you want to take the other team or have a gut feeling on a game, what validity do your numbers have then?
Sure I have Mallard picked in my pigskin picks and they darn sure
would be number1 and Vance lower if I wanted my system respected and
not ridiculed by sticklers like me......
Massey System you referenced has Rich #1 and Creek #2 and if you matched the teams up
Richmond wins with their matchup tool which I would expect to be the outcome since their
numbers say that..I would think the same should be for the Honda system.

Honda! Myers Park was handled last year the 2nd half in their lost against Vance. Vance has all of those guys coming back. Myers Park lost coaches and guys in the trenches. What happened over the summer that made them #1 in your eyes?

They’re not #1 in my eyes. The predictions are based on MaxPreps ratings. Check out my ratings in another post. I have Myers Park at #4.
