has Pope 5 overall and 2 in 4A

tpee / 7 Months Ago

@gatorboy62 you do understand that this takes each runner's PR regardless of course, date of race and even grade (there are talented 8th graders in some team's lists) and ranks them on team time only. Thus the official ranks and this comparison are often very different.
tp

gatorboy62 / 7 Months Ago

so what criteria is used as the "offical" ranking?

jim62 / 7 Months Ago

@gatorboy62 I remember seeing guidelines generally applied in compiling the rankings in a prior discussion at the start of the season. Have a look at Preliminary Week 1 Boys 5A and All-Class Rankings

tpee / 7 Months Ago

@gatorboy62 The General criteria are evaluations of week to week performances by the rankers who do extensive research and compare team's progress, especially head to head. Simply comparing based on the best time all year doesn't give you much. If my number one runs a 15:30 at Asics and then gets mono, we'll benefit the rest of the year from that mark in the database even though he isn't likely to help us at State. Additionally teams that win head to head matchups, but never post blazing times often don't move up the computer ranks. 2 years ago our girls were about 13th in our classification on that list and took 3rd at State and moved all the way up to about 9th on the list. Many of the teams that they beat at state stayed way ahead in the database because their season bests remained the same. Pope has fast times (all from Westover) but was beaten pretty easily by those ranked ahead of them last weekend.

@tpee asked a simple question and get War & Peace. Doesn't matter til state.

tpee / 7 Months Ago

Sorry to offend. Just tired of people who don't understand the database's foibles putting more stock in it than they should.

yardsnotmeters / 7 Months Ago

@tpee Great explanation. Thanks.

mikethomas / 7 Months Ago

Thanks for the time and effort put into the official rankings!

gatorboy62 / 7 Months Ago

@TPEE if you are considering variaables, Pope waa missing its 1 & 3 runner. and in head to head Pope beat Harrison and kennesaw at the the Cobb County meet. Pope will be in the mix at state and all rankings will be not mater.

@gatorboy62

Coach was just trying to give you an honest answer. No need to be rude about it.

tauger / 7 Months Ago

I think we all need to keep in mind that any ranking is going to be subjective and there are going to be teams that feel slighted. I would also point out that in the end the only rankings that really matter are those that occur at the State Meet, so if you feel that Pope is not getting the respect that they deserve then go out on the 5th and take care of business.

WayneCounty / 7 Months Ago

@tauger
I agree 100% with you. These rankings are just for fun. It also shows that some people have way too much free time. No one should get bent out of shape because one person thinks one team is better than another. None of this matters when your team toes the starting line. These rankings are for entertainment only. Good luck to all of you out there. I hope all of you do your best so that the final rankings are satisfactory to all of us.

gwalton / 7 Months Ago

@WayneCounty

While they are for fun, I appreciate the discussion generated when someone feels his/her team should be ranked or ranked higher. There are also times when a team might be overlooked or a meet missed.

To all, do not hesitate to point it out if you feel a team is being missed...........please do it respectfully, though!

Good luck to all these last couple weeks!

@gatorboy62

Seriously? You asked a question and got a well thought out answer. You may have thought it was a "simple question" and the answer was "war and peace", but sometimes answers are more complicated than "yes" and "no". Your rudeness was way out of line.

gatorboy62 / 7 Months Ago

@dataholicwannabe thanks! See you at state.
