NSCAA CRITERIA
*** 75% winning mark or higher as mandated by the NSCAA for Regional and National Rankings (positions 1-5)
*** Winning percentage vs. ranked teams per Classification
*** Head-to-head
*** Strength of schedule
*** Postseason advancement
*** Regular season and tournament results
*** Overall record
*** Region finish
If anyone is so inclined to do so at this time, please "rank" the Girls teams - Class 4A/3A have been done this weekend. Otherwise, a "strength of schedule" formula is used during the regular season along with determining factors of tournaments (personnel available) and other varying factors. Throw in region standings, tourney competitions, etc., and the past has proven that the rankings pretty much play out as advertised.
Believe me, it is a thankless job, but if it is not done then prep soccer becomes an afterthought for the media - if you ever have any "input" then please share! I encourage all coaches to submit a region or local "poll" on a weekly basis!
