If we have debates about rankings of teams that we can access anywhere and watch any of their games, then imagine the debates we can have about SC HS soccer teams (especially when we don't have as much access to stats, let alone videos, of all these teams).
I don't mind the rankings much. It's gotta be pretty hard to figure out just by teams & stuff who is where as far as rankings (unless the rankings committee is able to watch every single HS team play). I think a big factor is the "strength of schedule" in trying to get as good a ranking as one can with the limited data available. At the end of the day though, the field will ultimately decide who is the best (and even that can be debated because of so many factors that go into a game as CJ has already pointed out). I appreciate the folks who take time out of their lives to try & get these rankings out. It's not easy
