Still confused if you are trying to project what the playoffs will look like at the end of the year, where you think things stand as of right now, or if you are trying to interpret the current maxpreps rankings for us. The only thing that matters is the maxpreps rankings come middle of February
It all starts to change at this time of the year. It is confusing and it is evolving. In its first year of being produced and closely watching over Mp algorithm.
November , December we make most of the rankings on our own. MP plays minimal role due to its large inaccuracy. As the season gos on MP role increases. At this point during the season. We are (usually) looking one week out.
The toughest situation during this time of the season. Is when a team is not as good as its ranking or is better than. Lets take “
not as good as the example. Let’s say they have a schedule that has them favored in every matchup. Do we try to predict where they will end up at the end on Mp ? Or do we place them where they belong, based on how good they are ? The answer is evolving . The final destination is for it to predict where they will finish. We will need the league playoff matchups to be able to do so. For now we still have some runway to work with…
One example of the difference is with Marin Catholic. Looking at Orbels maxpreps list MC is ranked 7th in division 3 . “The real NCS list” moved Marin Catholic from div 3 into div 2. This move was made 5 days ago. Tommorow max preps will possibly catch up to the move?
