Therefore the teams who made a long playoff run should be rewarded with a high ranking... also wouldnt it make sinse to rank a team higher than a team they beat in playoffs?




I think it should be based on overall performance for the year - not just who made a long playoff run. A team could end up with an easy bracket in the playoffs or upsets could occur that would allow some teams going deeper than they maybe would have. It should also look at wins and loses and take into account who did a team lose to - a lose to Eastside; J.L. Mann; South Aiken or Chapin should be weighed differently than a lose to a lower ranked or unranked team. Same thing for wins - did a team have the upset or did you simply beat who you should have beat. I guess my only questions may be Bluffton with a 17-1 record and they finish the year 14th and Socastee at 15-5 and they barely crack the top 10. Those two seem like they may have been based on a one game season ending performance not a season's worth of work.
