SC Soccer Forums SCSoccer.com Forums Boys Varsity Soccer The rankings are a joke for 3A

Will someone please tell me the process of ranking teams!! I thought that the end of the year rankings would be determined by the performance of the teams at the END OF THE YEAR! 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?

Yes I believe that over-all performance should be included. Eventhough Bluffton did have 17 wins their schedule was very easy, I agree with you that Socastee should be higher. BC should be higher than NMB and because Airport beat BC at The Cage in the 3rd round of the play-offs 2-0 then Airport should be higher than both of them. The top four placements are good but from there on it is questionable.

Yes I believe that over-all performance should be included.

FWIW, NMB actually tied BC at 0-0. PKs were the difference. BC beat Airport 2 out of 3 times and 5-4 on aggregate. The balance of power is still in the upstate.

Listed below are the criteria used for ranking Class 3A Boys - this method is used for every classification. I did not include teams 1-3 or 13-15 as those seem pretty straight forward to all.

weak argument. Last year, Airport's girls beat BC girls both times in the regular season and lost to them in the 3rd round of the playoffs. In the end, BC was ranked higher on the final rankings. Shouldn't it be the same for the boys?

These are just inconsistencies. Like telling a referee, "you don't have to be good, just be consistent."

Yes the upstate holds the top 3 out of 4 ranks in the state, however lowerstate holds the champion. As far as overall rankings there are 7 upperstate teams and 8 lowerstate teams, not to mention that Chapin has been a lowerstate team the past few years. However I will say that if South Aiken was still in 4A and Chapin was still in the lowerstate then Chapin would have made it to the state finals to face Eastside.

Who is on the committee for ranking???

give you one guess...

Stats don't lie
