So, I dialed back competitiveness to 33.3% with rankings, combined wins, and top recruits to 22.2% each. We’ll see how this week turns out. My sources for the data and information used to compile the game list is JoeEitel.com, fantastic50.net, 247sports.com, and maxpreps.com along with individual school or league websites. Also, the honorable mention for the state games will now be one game per district to try to feature at least one game from each district in the state.
My apologies for getting this article out a few hours later than usual. The first three weeks of the season, I use some metrics from last season’s teams until enough data has built up to properly judge this year’s version of each respective school’s team. Starting this week, that switches and there’s a lot of work that goes into that switch. That being said, next week may come out on Tuesday as well, but then it will be back to the regular Monday publishing.
We’re already to week three of the season, and we’ve seen some great football so far. I wanted to let the reader know that over the last couple seasons that I’ve wrestled with how to properly rank out-of-state opponents for matchups. I’ve also wrestled with ranking them in the top five of the state or just keeping them as honorable mention.
