GRR: Rankings
We had several games throughout the HS club scene in which teams lost games, but they lost them in tight circumstances and as a result get a boost, or don't get hit that hard.
We even have examples of teams (a couple from Florida) who come into the rankings despite losing games, but those games were close, and we've been trying to get to a Top 50 anyway, so we expand to a Top 45.
We took a week off from the Men's College rankings as last week everything kind of went as expected and we had no changes.
But this week, what with 18 teams in action we have much, much more data.
We don't have a lot of changes in this week's HS Club rankings because teams that did play did what was expected.
We are set up, however, for a very intense April with major matchups coming up: Royal Irish at St. Ignatius, Charlotte Tigers vs Aspetuck, Raleigh, and Germantown, the Florida playoffs, and key showdowns in Texas.
With this past weekend being Easter weekend, there were precious few games from school-supported teams.
It was a quiet weekend for the top-ranked teams, but after that it was very noisy.
So noisy, in fact, that we've expanded out rankings to 40, and we're getting close to the 50 we normally rank.
