Goff Rankings
This was a very weird rankings week.
We had well-regarded teams lose by significant margins. We had teams beat highly-ranked teams and lose to lower-ranked teams in a tournament format (OK, that is a commentary on the rankings rather than anything else).
This week's results told us a lot.
The HS Club teams ranked in the neighborhood of 20-40 are a mixed bunch.
Idle teams, especially those who are idle for a long time, are vulnerable as more teams and more conferences play games.
That is why we see a few teams drop out and others move in thanks to beating a ranked team (Spalding), losing a close game to a ranked team (Brother Rice).
This article is a combined rankings and divisional update piece.
As skipped last week's rankings because there were only a small number of results and while those results would have prompted one major change, we decided to wait until this week, because once again several teams were idle, so combined we have a decent number of games.
