Read this, it explains the QRF:Mite-dad wrote:Yeah, and Roseau is # 14 in AA!This formula obviously includes a SOS element. These rankings in A and AA will be vastly different by the end of the year.
Uh, you sure?RLStars wrote:
I think they do a good job with basketball, but not so good with hockey. Its a nice site to get the schedules and scores, but the rankings are crap.
I am looking at the QRF rankings. As with any "computer" rankings it takes time to have enough data points to become meaningful or accurate. Lee (with his PS2) "borrows" data points from last season until there is enough data from this season. Hence, 1-2 Holy Angels is still ranked very high. QRF does not.RLStars wrote:Dude, what are you looking at?

It also shows that no body really knows who's gonna be where at the start of the season... give it time and by late jan/feb it seems to have a formula that will start placing them in better order
Elliott, you're right! It was confusing the way I referenced the dates "March 3rd" and "March 10th"!!elliott70 wrote:Florida guy,
I believe the confusion was your listing the March 2007 rankings. But to your point, the computer rankings get 'better' as the season progresses, and at season-end, they are similar in their rankings.
As stated, take computer rankings for what they are worth, a list of teams ranked by (generally) a mathamatical equation.
Computers don't watch games, players, etc...
People do, that's why I like to rank and like to read how other 'people' rank, as well as how a computer solves the 'dilema'.
Unfortunately for you, it will be a few more days before you get to see good ol' Minnesota high school hockey. Fortunately (some would say) you do not have to endure good ol' Minnesota winter.
Exactly. If they were utter crap they'd still look like crap at year end. They didn't. Last year they looked just fine. White was hurt for Grand Rapids so they lost several games they probably wouldn't have. Moorhead was awesome but didn't go to State because of a 1-0 loss to Roseau, eventual champions.RLStars wrote:OT Clown
I should have said "CRAP" at this point in the season. When a ranking has Northern Lakes rated higher then three teams in their section that will totally dominate them, thats crap. I heard River Lakes even beat Northern Lakes in a preseason scrimmage, although I'm not positive.
It does appear that eventually it works itself out.
