donhaney Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 (edited) Back in the early 1980's, there were a few of us here in Lewis County that tried to emulate rankings and ratings systems. Some did pretty good, others were awful. Years ago, there was only the Litkenhouse Ratings and the Dunkel Index. I developed a ratings system myself that was a forerunner to the dozens of computer generated rankings of today. Indulge me if you will as I resurect from the dead... The Pencilton Ratings. Named the pencilton because my then entire statewide rankings were done by pencil and paper and kept in a very large notebook. I will reveal my rankings only for Region 6-AA at present. I have gone back to week O and gotten everything included in the system. Pencilton Rankings: Region 6-AA 1: Camden ------ 89.7 2: Lewis Co. ---- 89.4 3: Waverly ------ 68.4 4: Richland ------ 62.3 5: Adamsville---- 59.4 6: Houston Co. --56.7 7: Stewart Co. -- 55.4 8: Riverside ------54.3 9: Loretto -------- 48.2 **Please remember these are for amusement and minor debate. Personal preferances do not enter into the equation. I use a formula I developed circa 1979. Week 5 Predictions....

Can't wait to see LC play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardfan Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Donhaney, I would be interested in the basics of how that system works so I would know whether or not I could argye with it. I do agree with the top 3 in the region, but I think right now 4-8 could be drawn out of a hat just as well with Loretto pulling up the rear. I am ready for a good night of football around the region. Got some rough weather moving into the western half later today so every one please be careful. Good luck to everyone tonight. I think the cardinals will actually start scoring some points tonight. Adamsville 17 Riverside- 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
15 NWTF 08 Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 (edited) I like the ratings system, seems to be something I can agree with so far. Job well done.

Adamsville 10 at Riverside 7 Camden 43 at Richland 6 Lewis County 37 at Houston County 7 Loretto 18 at Stewart County 28 Montgomery Central 6 at Waverly 7 Looks like a pretty accurate rating system. I think everyone that is rational at all would say that Camden and Lewis Co are the class teams of the region, with the remaining incredibly similar. No team with stellar offenses. #3 through #9 is wide open. It could get pretty interesting going into week 10. Good luck to all teams and keep this rating system updated as we continue to follow it.

donhaney Posted September 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Thank you, thank you! I was very fortunate this week that things worked as they should have but remember, these rankings are no different than anyone elses except for two things... One is that for some home fields, I establish more of an advantage that I do for others and two, I sometimes use common sense with factoring my formula. Here is this week's Pencilton Ratings.... September 24, 2006 Pencilton Rankings: Region 6-AA 1: Camden ------ 93.2 2: Lewis Co. ---- 88.2 3: Waverly ------ 69.5 4: Adamsville---- 63.1 5: Richland ------ 59.8 6: Houston Co. -- 57.9 7: Stewart Co. -- 53.9 8: Riverside ------ 50.6 9: Loretto -------- 49.7 Week 6 Adamsville 10 at Lewis County 34 Houston County 6 at Camden 48 Loretto at Open Riverside 6 at Waverly 25 Stewart County 13 at Richland 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richland is one of the games that they'll need to win to get to the playoffs. Either way I still like the Rebels to beat Houston Co. Adamsville and Riverside are games that will make or break the Rebels playoff hopes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schsrebelman2010 Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 yes yes this is a big time game for SC. if they win they will be 2-2 in region and they already played the 2 best teams. that is big they just need to take it a game at a time n the wavo game mite be big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardfan Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 (edited) These rankings proved to be pretty accurate. I believe through week 5 that the order of finish in our region will go something like this. 1. camden/lewis county winner 2. camden/lewis county loser 3. waverly 4. Adamsville, Stewart County, Richland- this spot might not be decided until week 10 in Adamsville when Richland comes to town. These are all dependent upon no upsets. I do not think Lc or Camden get upset, but Waverly needs to be on their toes. I am pulling for this not to happen, but they need not overlook ne1. What do some of you guys think now that we have 5 weeks out of the way. GO CARDS! You are heading in the right direction. Keep working hard.
