QuarterFinals

Waynoka
MVG
Tipton
Timberlake

Waynoka easy dub
MVG slipper runs out
Tipton wins in a close one
Timberlake beats Maud in epic battle

Maud defeats Timberlake
I'm picking Wesleyan to upset MVG
Maysville will give Tipton all they can handle

The Maud situation is a unique one ….once a Class A power the Tigers went to the semis in 88/89/90/92/93 …then Coach Pearcy retired and many many students left to go to the surrounding schools …..didn’t move stayed in Maud ….we have
kids playing ball at SRC Tecumseh Varnum Asher Konawa Seminole Strother Earlsboro Sasakwa etc that all go to church and live in this community …over the course of 10-12 years Maud’s enrollment dropped all the way to 66….thus going to 8 Man ….I took the job in 06 and by 16 we were in the 110s again ADM …after I left it went back to the 70s so they moved back to C ….Now the OSSAA’s new rule that went into effect let’s you transfer back to your home district without sitting out ….we have got a bunch of Maud kids back ….including my own daughter …Street/Wassana/Porterfield/Willis/Ridge have all lived in Maud 14 plus years …we still have numerous ones and very good athletes playing elsewhere ….hopefully one day they all come home …The surrounding schools are the ones that stole/recruited Maud kids …we are just trying to compete and make this place better again one day …It will take many years but hopefully having a little success like we did this year will help …

Would be nice to grow that big …being the AD I would do my best to find em a good coach to try and compete at that level ..school growth is a good thing for these small communities..

Waynoka - Win easy 
MVG - Close one here could go either way 
Tipton- Won't be close possible ends early. 
Muad- Wins by a couple of touchdowns if not more. 

]I'm trying to figure out the rankings of the final 8 teams and hoping you all can shed some light on it for me.
I see that Waynoka is ranked #1 and Timberlake at #2. I understand that they played earlier in the year and it was a close game. I guess my question is who is ranking them and by what parameters are they ranking them. My personal opinion for what it's worth is that Tipton is the team to beat and should be ranked #1. I think Maud has been beating the heck out of everyone and just by seeing 3 teams from C4 in the final 8, I'd say they would be #2. I am not trying to take anything away from Waynoka or Timberlake because they are both very good teams. Someone please share their opinions as far as the rankings go and where they come from.

I'm fairly certain they are using Tulsa World rankings... and as far as parameters, there are literally none. 

Skordle also does rankings. I never even look at the Tulsa World... the guys at Skordle are much more informed and have seen far more teams than anyone with the Tulsa World has. 

Skordle's Class C rankings are as follows:

1. Tiption
2. Waynoka
3. Maud
4. Timberlake
5. Wesleyan Christian

I’m not sure on any set parameters however when comparing Tulsa World, The Oklahoman, Scordle, and Max Preps, Scordle is the only one that doesn’t have Waynoka as 1. I don’t know if it makes any difference or not but they also show an unplayed “tie” game on the day fallowing the scored Waynoka vs Timberlake game. They also vary on where the fallowing 3 teams are ranked. While I am guilty of checking rankings frequently throughout the season I have always been frustrated by the lack of “how it’s done”and inconsistency of each sites results. [/quote]

The problem with rankings, especially with small schools, is that none of these publications have representatives who actually see many, if any, of these teams play; so they're basically just basing everything on records and scores. I know most of the Skordle guys pretty well, and you won't find many people more knowledgeable about high school sports in Oklahoma. 

Skordle's scores are all user driven. Anyone can go on there and enter a new game, so I'm assuming that is what happened. Someone probably went on there to update the score of the Timberlake/Waynoka game and didn't see it, so they added a new one. Those scores don't have any bearing on their rankings though.
