Earl Nall's Prep Performance Ratings

[FormerCav]

I hear a lot of talk every season about how Earl Nall and the other ratings out there aren't very accurate and how so and so team should be ranked higher...well, Earl is brave every year and posts his final ratings before the playoffs start...let's examine the results.......

 

 

Div II-A

1. SBEC (won state title)

3. Bishop Byrne (state runner-up)

 

Div II-AA

1. BGA (won state title)

2. Knox Catholic (state runner-up)

 

Div II-AAA

1. Brentwood Academy (state runner-up)

2. MBA (won state title)

 

Div I-A

3. DCA

5. Boyd-Buchanan

 

Div I-AA

2. David Lipscomb

3. Huntingdon

 

Div I-AAA

2. Fulton

5. Covington

 

Div I-AAAA

3. Hillsboro

4. Morristown West

 

Div I-AAAAA

1. Germantown

3. Riverdale

 

 

In all 8 classifications, the champion and runner-up are in the top 5 of his rankings. I'd say that's pretty darn good folks...I mean of course there are upsets that will throw things off a bit, but to be that consistent has to say something for the viability of computer rankings...whatcha think?

It looks like Earl is a very smart man.

I say lets just go by Earls poll and forget about the playoffs.

 

no wait......its more exciting to watch a game, than a computer screen.

Former Cav,

 

Here's a few numbers for the power ratings picking winners in the playoffs.

 

Moore 130-34 79%

Nall 127-37 77%

unapproved website 125-39 76%

Massey 124-40 75%

 

Not bad at all.

Yeah it looks good man exept for Fulton should be No.1 instead of No.2. But i am not really a "Fulton Fan" or a Fulton player but they are a pretty good team to watch play.
