Goff Rankings
Well, we're back.
We return to the D1AA rankings and we've kept the teams that were done in the fall in the list. We might split off the Spring-only teams but that would not be a ranking of 40.
We do not have a lot of changes in the HS club scene, but we do have a few.
If your team dropped out, remember that the main reason is because you will have games coming up to move yourself up. Right now teams that moved in—Red Mountain, Greer, Cape Fear, and Tampa—did so because of results.
Big moves here in Week 3 of our school-team Top 50 and we caution you about that.
Because there are not a lot of games out there a team can move up or down quickly. Fallbrook leaping into the rankings wouldn't necessarily happen if a lot more of the teams around that ranking of 20-40 were playing. So we'll keep an eye on Fallbrook and Mira Costa and teams like that.
January started slowly of course but with a few results we restart the D1A rankings.
The only real move is Cal Poly moving up after a close loss to BYU. Now, one could look at BYU's scored with other teams (Colorado State) and their scores vs. the Cougars, and think that, seeing as Cal Poly was way closer, the Mustangs should be moved ahead of the Rams.
We base a lot of our movement, almost all of it, in fact, on the results from the Storer Classic.
Now, this is a dangerous thing to do because this was a preseason tournament with a series of shortened games. So it's important to remember that you can't hang a ranking on one or two short-game results.
