Yes Cyril still to low and Hydro to low. Teams are being punished way to much for losing to good teams and tough schedules while others play cupcakes and get that record up there or don’t turn in their losses cough cough Wister! I will use Canute, Wister and Stuart for example. Canute beats #4 L-S but loses to #16 Hydro and #1 Binger. Wister beats # 6 Buffalo Valley and two cupcakes and loses to Whitesboro does that warrant an almost 80 point difference or would that lose in there keep it close to where it was. Does Stuart’s 6 wins vs unranked teams warrant an almost 150 jump. While Cyril beats number 1 Roff and can’t get in the top 10? Hydro beats Canute and can’t move up anymore than that? This is clearly coaches just not doing any research. Disclaimer this post is not to bash how good Wister or Stuart are. I personally think they are both top 15 it’s just to show how flawed this ranking system is.

Pepper I 100% agree with everything you said in this post. I’m an east guy open to say it. Cyril is very under-ranked. Very good wins this last weekend. Hydro as well. The rankings system is flawed and it will be that way unless something changes. The chances of a team being ranked outside of the top 15 in the first rankings to make it into the top 10 is very slim. That’s just because of how the rankings work.

It’s the buddy system, lack of research, and voting for teams you play to make your team look better. These factors aren’t mutually exclusive. Some coaches are guilty of 1 of these factors while other might be guilty of all 3. The bottom line…if coaches won’t do any better then they are currently….the system will remain flawed.

Exactly, I've been saying the buddy system was a big flaw since last season yet some people dismissed it

Some interesting scores yesterday. Hydro beats Sterling. Dewar finally plays someone and loses 10-2 to Vanoss. Hydro has to move up. Also heard that Canute has a couple injuries and don’t even have enough to play this week. Heard that they will be back next week tho. I’m sure coaches will drop them for that but don’t think they should be punished for it. Life as a small school

I don't even know how good Dewar really is, I have not seen them play despite that's my neck of the woods, Vanoss winning doesn't surprise me, Sounds like Canute doesn't have depth like they usually did, The way the coaches have been in the rankings they'll drop anyone at this point, If Hydro goes up then Cyril has to as well, Cyril might be the biggest sleeper in Class A right now
Vanoss has had 3 players out most of the year. I am not sure but I think the first time they played this year was against Dewar. I can't confirm this but I was hearing they were supposed to be back. If they are healthy nobody wants to see them in a regional. They have a very good arm that has yet to throw an inning this year.
