Girls AP Poll

[rebelboy121]

Why is the CoachT poll much more accurate than the AP poll.  I would assume all the voters in the AP Poll are from the larger cities and have no clue as to what is going on in some of the smaller towns.  The Single A poll is a joke, The number 10 team gets in because some sportswriter gives them a first place vote. This person should never be allowed to vote again.

Because the coacht poll is based off of a scientific formula instead of bias. I agree that the AP polls the past two weeks have been a bit of a joke.

Northview Acad. is the AP #10.  A member of D2A. 18-3. Are in the CoachT top 10. Ranked just under South Green in their reg.

I'd say you're correct on the larger cities remark. Overall AAA is way down across the state. At least two of the top 5 AAA schools are exactly 1 twisted ankle away from being average or below without their star. Some just won't have the fouls to give in the state tourney the way it's called most years. Not a shot at the refs. But at some point you need a bench.

PC is tied,  in the Jan 17 AP poll, with South Green for #1.

The CoachT rankings are based on a formula that is similar to the RPI ratings that the NCAA uses to seed teams in the National Tourney brackets. That formula is used in all sports on CoachT rankings. All the polls and formulas go out the window at tourney time.

And I will agree with that 100%. The AP and coacht polls are pretty close, for the most part, this time around. But neither one matters when these teams begin to face each other.

you can say that about most teams.

If half the teams are already average or below it would be even worse for them.

Why have a top ten...Only eight make it to the glass house...AND why put teams in there that you know will not have a chance in making it to the boro? three teams from one region won't get in...that's the way it's set up..It's not right..some teams can't compete with the top three while other teams sit home that could possibly win it all. But the freaking TSSAA is outdated, why do high schools allow them to control the high school sports. Form their own organization with QUALIFIED people who can organize these playoffs. We don't need TSSAA, money making buttholes, HIGH SHOOLS get on board, form your own organization. Make your own playoffs. Get the "REAL" champion each year, not one that got the luck of the draw, which is a joke.
