2019 Preseason Comp Poll

It's that time of year again. Some familiar faces on top of the preseason comp poll. Anyone know if Jamie is going to release his poll? Sort of hard to call it  a "preseason" poll now that games have already been played.

I sent Jamie a DM on Twitter two weeks ago and have not got a response back. Also for CP poll your spreadsheet has MC and Longview  wrong. Just need to flip where they are ranked.

Thanks for the QA.

Calpreps is a bit of an outlier because their "preseason" rankings are constantly in flux (especially at the bottom end of the top 25) and it just depends on what date you pull the data from their site. During the season I generally pull the data either Sunday evening or Monday morning after all of the week's games have been played and the algorithm has a chance to settle down.

You can see that the CalPreps ranks that Redzone pulled on 8/9 differ from the CalPreps ranks that are listed on Maxpreps with an "Updated Date" of 8/11

I've double-checked my comp poll and they reflect the ranks listed on Maxpreps with a date of 8/11. Luckily these are preseason ranks so their accuracy isn't all that important.

You are absolutely correct about CP and their ranking. It's like the damn "stock market" at times.

MaxPreps released their  Preseason "Composite Rankings". Interesting to note that this year they seem to be including SportingNews. This is the first I've heard of these guys putting out a HSFB poll. I'm not sure how to take this poll considered it's currently listed under their "NCAAF" section and says that last year SJB lost to MD in the "Trinity League Championship." 🤦‍♂️

 ...also factoring in strength of schedule to pre-drop some teams that will naturally fall in our system over the course of the season given that playing weaker teams drags a team's rating down*

*Please note that teams are now being pre-dropped as explained above

in order to slot them the way we prefer for our official pre-season ratings. 

However, it is important to understand that this "pre-drop" is eliminated once a team's season gets underway.  Once they start playing, their season-to-date SOS is used by our system as opposed to the full-season SOS.  [Note: last season's schedule strength is used as a place-holder to pre-drop teams if we have not yet collected their 2019 schedule.]

 

Looks like a clusterfuck... why not just wait and issue a first ratings look in October along with picks (that they begin in October).

Manipulating an algorithm for preseason ratings... using regular season sos only as a gauge.  I don't even follow Freeman's statement of how playing weak teams drags a rating down (I state this because only the boldfaced games are supposedly the heavy weighting tool for the team's overall rating). 

Did a weak SFA schedule drag their rating down last year?

I like the "we prefer" statement. 

 

It ends the way "we prefer" too. They're only admitting to screwing with it now, but, they'll do it whenever they like as "they prefer"

Damn... Georgia went from 60 something top 1000 teams to just 26.

And from 11 top 100 teams to 2.

All because of that Colquitt scrimmage? Or what?

Florida has over 100 top 1000 teams now... Lol. The algorithm is a bit screwy.

It's what they prefer!

 

Read 'em and weep. 

Hahaha.

St. Louis beat a team rated over 1000 and dropped from 86.1 to 85.2  (their rating would have dropped a bit more had the mercy rule number been set at 28 vs. 27, because they earned 44.3 points only for the win).   

Colquitty County started at 60.5 and rated #34... Columbia started at 53.1 and rated #74. 

Colquitt takes this non counting and soon to be erased game and earns 67.1 points for the win and moves down from 60.5 to 53.1

Columbia earns 38.1 points in the loss and moves down from 53.1 to 52.1

Looks like Freeman pre-dropped the entire state of GA and didn't update the starting team ratings.

Colquitt started at 34. 

Not sure of Columbia's starting rating, knew it was top 100. 

Saturday morning when doing my armchair coach's review of the game, Colquitt was #50 and Columbia #56.

Today, both back to the 70s as CalPeps prefers.

Yes, intentionally left the R out. Not a typo.

Looks like it's that 70s show for Colquitt and Columbia. xD

Did a weak SFA schedule drag their rating down last year?   

 

 

 

In the case of HSFBA rankings last year, I'm sure SFA's weak schedule played a part in them being ranked #52 in their final algorithm poll. I just think computer polls are dumb! Punch in a couple of numbers and let the computer do the work as if the computer watched the game, saw if the key man got hurt which could have changed the tone of the game, etc. Just lazy, but this is the world we live in now.

The craziest thing about the computer polls is, at this point in hsfb history, it appears that the human polls allow the computers to take the lead as they use them for reference instead of applying a human sourced power rating to a state and then doing a good deal of their own homework. 

The only outlier in that is USAT as they appear to always have some oddballs in theirs.

Massey has 5 California teams in their top 10. ABSOLUTELY nothing against Folsom, but I truly believe with computer polls there is a "west coast" bias.  

I can see that. Similar to Calpreps. I have always said it's so tough to gauge local HS teams on a national level. It has only gotten a tad bit easier in recent years, due to the Internet. As of now, people still seem to use reputation and past results as bigger indicators than potential.
