Post by ghshockeyfan » Sun Nov 02, 2014 10:40 am

The KRACH rankings for MN Girls' HS Hockey are now available on the MGHCA website.

http://www.bgoski.com (forward link)

http://www.mghca.com/page/show/427504-krach-rankings (direct link)

The final rankings for the past 12 seasons will also be archived there in addition to the most current season's rankings, once ready for release (later this month).

1) This only counts games vs. MSHSL varsity teams.
2) This only uses scores entered on the Girls' Hockey Hub/MGHCA website:
http://www.mghca.com
To enter a missing score contact your team rep. Each team should have a person responsible for updating this information (coach, parent, manager, etc.) - you can also email: scores@tstmedia.com - see: http://www.mngirlshockeyhub.com/page/sh ... mit-scores (they really want a scoresheet image though)

2014-15 1st KRACH - 08-Nov-2014 - Too early, but...

Post by ghshockeyfan » Sat Nov 08, 2014 12:48 pm

Probably won't post these for a while on MGHCA site as KRACH needs more data (games) to be of value, but for those that want to see how the first games work with KRACH, I'll post this here.

Looking at this early helped me initially understand how KRACH works, that it doesn't look at score or class, and that it only considers W/L/T & the strength of the schedule a team plays.

Keep in mind - only 38 of 120 teams have played (19 games). No team has yet to play a second game as of this AM.

The 18 that won are tied for #1 overall

The 2 that tied are considered equal to all 82 teams that didn't play (84 teams tied for #19 overall)

The 18 that lost are tied for #103 overall

Here are the results of the 19 games from the Hub as of this AM - note that a 20th game was PPD on 11/6:

11/6/2014 Centennial 1 Eden Prairie 8
11/6/2014 Robbinsdale Armstrong/Cooper 1 Edina 10

I thought you've said in previous years it DOES take class into consideration and penalizes an AA team for playing an A team. I only remember because I never agreed with it.

Indirectly - but not by intentionally saying that games against Class A teams should be down-weighted.

How so?

Well, unfortunately, Class A teams are usually weaker than Class AA teams.

So, if a team plays a lot of Class A opponents, then, the team's strength-of-schedule (SOS) is likely weaker - and this subsequently hinders the team's ability to rank as highly as a team that is playing a stronger SOS (likely with games against more AA opponents).

...But, you still have to win games either way - so just playing a tough SOS doesn't mean you'll rank high if you lose, but that's not the point of this response...

Hill Murray had this problem for years in the Classic Suburban conference - where they had to play many (theoretically) weaker Class A teams based on their commitment to the conference schedule (even though they won almost all their games each year it seemed).

My understanding is that the new Metro East has addressed this to some degree by having certain conference teams play only once, thus allowing the top teams to play stronger non-conference opponents as opposed to two games against a weaker conference opponent.

The Classic Suburban addressed this too some seasons through a "powerized" schedule doing essentially the same as what the Metro East is doing now - but that was only for a few years in the mid-2000s. I remember this as I coached one of those Class A teams that only got to play a then-Class-AA SSP powerhouse 1x per season as opposed to the standard home and home 2x/year setup in a conference.

I still disagree with the thought. Since the high school league makes no distinction in class during the regular season, I'm not sure why computer rankings need to. I'd consider all teams the same and just let it work itself out. Blake very well may be one of the top 5 teams in state this year. Anyone that can beat them shouldn't be penalized because their enrollment is small, instead they should get credit for beating a top 5 team. Anyway, just another opinion. Your system, your rules. I do believe Lee and Mitch's computer rankings both take all teams as one during the regular season.

Spar - if you read his explanation again, I think you will see that there is no down grading of a team for being class A or playing class A teams. How I read his explanation is that you end up getting penalized for playing class A teams strictly because more often than not they are weaker teams. Just like other systems, a team is a team, and a win is a win, but if you are playing weaker teams, your SOS will take a hit, regardless of class, it just so happens that there are more class A teams that are weaker.

Yes, that is what I was trying to say. KRACH treats all teams the same.

I still disagree with the thought. Since the high school league makes no distinction in class during the regular season, I'm not sure why computer rankings need to. I'd consider all teams the same and just let it work itself out. Blake very well may be one of the top 5 teams in state this year. Anyone that can beat them shouldn't be penalized because their enrollment is small, instead they should get credit for beating a top 5 team. Anyway, just another opinion. Your system, your rules. I do believe Lee and Mitch's computer rankings both take all teams as one during the regular season.
Spar - if you read his explanation again, I think you will see that there is no down grading of a team for being class A or playing class A teams. How I read his explanation is that you end up getting penalized for playing class A teams strictly because more often than not they are weaker teams. Just like other systems, a team is a team, and a win is a win, but if you are playing weaker teams, your SOS will take a hit, regardless of class, it just so happens that there are more class A teams that are weaker.
Yes, that is what I was trying to say. KRACH treats all teams the same.
Sorry, I guess I just misunderstood. Thank you for explaining further.

Appreciate the hard work, but computer rankings are not relevant until at least halfway through the schedule. We end up with a team like Moose Lake ranked higher than some AA powers.

Agreed, and that's why it won't go up until then on MGHCA site.

Reiterating from an earlier post in this thread as it may have been missed.

Looking at this early helped me initially understand how KRACH works, that it doesn't look at score or class, and that it only considers W/L/T & the strength of the schedule a team plays.

I do like the KRACH later in the year. I think it is a better guide than LPH.

Will the MGHCA site be fully running this season or will it be more of a zombie site like last year?

Is there any way B-E could get added into the KRACH ranking system? I just don't think it's fair not to include them in some way. I know they don't play Mn HS teams but they are unfairly being left out. The Wolfman thinks he is funny..

I believe it will be fully running, but score hosting still reflected from/on the hub. The KRACH will be there and I believe team pages available for each team to provide content should they wish.

Babbitt-Embarrass or Bauer-Emerson? I think that neither have MSHSL teams at this point as you said, but we could be wrong?

My daughter is not thrilled that their recent victory over Hill Murray resulted in Eden Prairie slipping to number 2. It lead to a nice discussion about statistics and sampling sizes. Really great when three things you love all intersect (family, hockey and math).
