FargoStrut Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Maximum power ranking of 132.. there are 12 ranked teams... 12×11=132...Artus, am I correct in my assumption that there are most likely 11 coaches from across the state that rank teams 1-12 and assign a point value of 12 points to #1 ranked team, 11pts to #2, on down to 1 point for their #12 ranked team? If my assumption is incorrect, will you please elaborate on how the "power rankings" are scored? Thank you in advance for any info you provide.

Say they vote Cleveland 1st-They get 12 points. McCallie is voted second-they get 11, and so on, down to the 12th team on their list, who gets one point. If all eleven coaches voted a team first, they'd get 132 points, hence the power ranking. One week for instance everyone voted summit third, so they got 110 points. Hope that makes sense. If my math ever gets wonky it's probably because I'm an English teacher and as far from the left side of my brain as is possible. I always defer to Joe Blair when the math gets crazy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what you're saying is more than one coach actually voted for someone OTHER than cleveland as number 1??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct! That's what I was trying to confirm. AT LEAST 2 and possibly 3. If it was only 2 coaches, one of them voted Cleveland as 3RD BEST.

Makes perfect sense. Thank you very much for the confirmation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtusCimber Posted January 31 Author Report Share Posted January 31 Actually that is an error on my part. Cleveland had 131. Sorry. I'm an English teacher. What can I say? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What can I say? 10-4, fair enough. The "131" erases the perceived possiblity of a knowledge coach(es) voting "with their heart instead of their brain". Being that you're an English teacher, we'll give you a pass on the math portion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. And there is some of that that happens. I try to regulate it as much as I can, but you know how it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
