I've always been interested in the Algorithm that MaxPreps uses to rank the teams. Wins, losses, and strength of schedule are put into play instead of hear say or rah rah from the hometown crowd. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I've just always found these to be decently consistent in the class rankings. Now the state rankings are a bit off due to 3A schools and below would struggle with middle of the roads teams from 5A up just because of depth and size.
1 Beggs
Only loss came to LC, now the #1 team in 3A. Obviously have talent upon talent and are able to score.
2 Washington
Still haven't been tested and won't be until next week against Marlow.
3 Marlow
Haven't been and won't be tested until next week.
4 Metro Christian
Took a bad loss against 3A #2 Holland Hall last week, but are still the champs until proven otherwise.
5 Vian
Took a bad loss to the #1 3A team LC, but did get a good road win against a talented Eufaula team. Won't be tested again until Cascia Hall.
6 Jones
Probably should be higher but the 1-2 record hinders this. Losses came to a above average 4A squad but took 3A #1 down to the wire and lost on a last second field goal. I would say Jones is top 3.
7 Rejoice Christian
Had 74 points scored on them by the run game of Beggs. Stopping the run in 2A is the way to win it in most years.
8 Oklahoma Christian
Might be a bit overrated. Scores don't indicate anything too impressive for a 2A private.
9 Eufaula
Coming off a strong showing last season, nearly making the Semis. Took a heartbreaking loss to Vian first game of the season, but have dominated since that date. With their district they should make a deep run.
10 Prague
Has scored a lot of points but hasn't played the toughest schedule yet. They won't be tested until they play Jones later this season for the district championship.
Just a little breakdown of the top 10. Should anyone else be in this top 10 or does this seem about right to the rest of you?
