@Smallveteran, your effort on this is commendable…I think it’s been mentioned previously, but all of this is conjecture and doesn’t matter come seeding time. The “committee” (not even sure it’s needed anymore) will seed directly from Maxpreps rankings. A team may move 1 or 2 spots max based on head to head. But if football and girls volleyball are any indication, they won’t deviate from the Maxpreps rankings much at all. In my mind, the system rewards mediocrity.

The dumbest part about the system is the limit on the amount of divisions up or down. Almost guarantees that division 2 ends up having the strong d4 teams with the best seeds and the d3 bracket being loaded with the top d5 teams. If we are gonna just go by rankings then just make it super simple and don't limit how much a team can go up or down. Which would essentially make all the brackets other than open and D1 consolation brackets (which is essentially the case anyways except we will have very good teams winning d2 and d3 instead of having a chance to compete for a more meaningful d1 championship)

When Terra Linda was ranked 4th per max preps. It seemed meaningless! It was not though, it created laughable conversation. Do not be surprised that some people believed the MP generated ranking. Their was one writer who said they were the #8 best team he has seen.

At no point were they the 8th ranked team. Not by any stretch of the imagination!

We can understand where you’re coming from in regards to MaxPreps being the ultimate judge. We like the new NCS playoff rules. That does not mean we will not be open to suggesting improvements . One thing is for sure, we will not do so until the season is over. For now we play with what we got. The REAL NCS LiST will continue to move forward.
