Uh, Indian Land rated 20 spots higher than Clover or Nation Ford? Both of whom comfortably defeated IL?
Well as Mr. Twain would say "There are lies, dam* lies, and statistics".
These numbers seem to work ok for the obvious #1 or 2 but after that well it gets fuzzy? Look at FMHS behind Cardnial Newman??? They beat them handily during the season (not a scrimage!) yet FMHS ranks below CN??? They even beat Wando yet still ranked much lower?
FMHS had 3rd hardest schedule, and 3rd ranked D (do not forget they played NWHS 3 time imagine where other team D's would be if they got to face the juggernaut three times) I could go on but in the end these number are meaningless and are only an interpetation of the results.
They may do a good job of ranking the more narrow areas; schedule, O, D, but when you combine the easily quantifiable and try to rank things that are more subjective well thats where the problems start.
