Consensus Preseason AA Rankings

[O-townClown]

I have blended five rankings in order to reach a consensus. A little massaging was necessary, as each ranking has a different flavor.

Follow the puck and LPH do not have the same rankings.

Follow the puck and LPH do not have the same rankings.

Yes they do. Both are statewide Top 20 for A and AA.

Looks good.


Of course, now you have to update it every week.

Spreadsheet's been built. How about every three weeks?

It makes it sound like you are saying the rankings are identicle.

It does?

Bump for the other guy. Yes, the rankings are out from the newspapers.

Duluth East at #5? I'm a bit surprised, though I'm not complaining. We'll get a good idea of whether they deserve that or not over the next month, as they play the following teams in succession:
vs. #20 Wayzata
@ #17 Minnetonka
vs. #15 WBL
@ #12 Cloquet
vs. #8 Moorhead
vs. #10 Centennial
@ #14 Anoka
Schwan Cup...first game vs. #3 Hill-Murray.
Edina, Rapids, Blaine, and a second tilt with Cloquet come in 2008.

Otherwise, these rankings are more or less how I'd have them too.
