Actually, my Anderson connection wasn't entirely the reason. Hanna tied Mauldin, then lost in pks (who is one of the top teams in the state year in year out), and given their recent string of results, including a win over previously 4th ranked Wren, Hanna SEEMS to be peaking at this point. Their results against non-region opponents in the weeks to come will tell.

I am going to include the stats used in the rankings so that they can be evaluated more introspectively.

Since TugJobber pointed out that the rankings can seem like a sham with nothing to back them up, what statistics do you think would be the most valid in determining the TOP 10?

Opponents Winning %
Goals For vs Goals Against
# of Wins by 3+ Goals
Wins vs Ranked Opponents
Record vs Ranked Opponents
Recent results
Recent results vs Ranked Opponents

I will try to include this info. for all 10 teams, and I think the result will open up some more insightful responses.
