Another problem with using the rankings is that the vote/selection is done before final rankings are complete. Say a team enters the playoffs unranked but wins 2 maybe even 3 games they should finish the season in the finals rankings. I just don't agree with the a teams rank being tied to an all state selection. Certainly there is no doubt that the bulk of the players should/would come from those teams but it should not be the end all be all like it seems to have been this year.
