Impactdad22 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Don't know how many teams are in A/AA, but if 2 teams with losing records are in the #4 and #7 spots respectively, doesn't say much for the current Eurosportscoreboard rankings. I know for a fact the CPA doesn't have the strength of their last year's team as they are quite young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennettm Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Personally I haven't seen Knox Catholic play this season, but I have previously coached in the Knoxville area and coached against them on numerous occasions. I have a hard time seeing anyone that I'm aware of in A-AA competing with Catholic. I went back and looked at numbers. Due to something having to do with football, they have much larger numbers then other schools in A-AA. Just doesn't make any sense to me why they would drop out of AAA, where they were a very competitive team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impactdad22 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I totally agree and appreciate the fact that ND, CPA and others play very strong schedules! It is amusing to see teams and fans brag on their undefeated and/or dominant teams and check their schedules to see the "powder puff" teams they play!!

Just doesn't make any sense to me why they would drop out of AAA, where they were a very competitive team. The way I understand it, TSSAA misapplied the private school multiplier in previous years. There was lots of movement by private schools downward for football. The only soccer team affected was Catholic, as they were the only Division 1 private playing AAA. As I have said in a previous post, they are the team to beat at the girls state tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabble Rouser Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 It is my humble opinion that girls soccer in Tennessee is the greatest example I can think of where numbers, other than the final score to determine who wins, mean absolutely nothing. This is especially so re: wins and loses and individual goals scored and even keeper averages. Comparing them is like comparing apples to orangutans. Second least relevant are high school batting averages, unless they are really low. Then you got a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennettm Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 I'd look at including Merrol Hyde over Smith Co. They are undefeated in their district and only have one loss overall. Their schedule isn't the most challenging one though, unlike a lot of the other teams listed in the top 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
