This is why rankings and the MNC are looked at suspiciously

Recommended Posts

I was reading an article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution about Milton and where they wound up in national rankings.  To be honest, I was looking for where Grayson wound up after our championship win.  This is was was posted for the Massey rankings.

Massey Ratings

(Top 100)

4. (11) Milton

5. (8) Carrollton

11. (23) Buford

36. (33) Grayson

Grayson beat Carrollton for the top class championship in GA.  Tell me how Carrollton moved UP in the rankings from #8 to #5 and how Grayson moved DOWN from #33 to #36?  I get Grayson not being in the top ten since we lost our opener.  I even get although I might disagree with Grayson being in the 30s in his rankings.  What I don't get is how the team we beat moved up while we moved down especially since the game was for the ship and especially since it wasn't a 1 point game or a win in the final seconds on a Hail Mary or something like that.

Most of the other polls have us in the top 15 or even top 10.  I'm good with all of those but this just doesn't make sense to me.  Can someone explain it to me please?  Come to think of it, how did Buford who went out in the semifinals move up 12 spots?  It makes no sense.

Omaha Vol getting unhinged and wanting to respond but having no actual substance to respond with.

Or in other words, Wednesday.

This isn’t me getting unhinged. I’m just simply calling you out on your bullshit. All you do is spew out vitriol every year, but never back up your condescending attitude with action. Put up or shut up!

You're doing a terrible job of it.

How many years now have you failed to come up with anything else to say? All you do is smear feces all over the screen in the form of rankings and then self-destruct like this when challenged on it.

My action is exposing you, then mocking you, then watching you self-destruct.

Ok, thanks man.

Why am I not surprised that you added nothing of substance and totally missed the point.

Did you miss where I said I was totally ok where the other rankings have us?  Looks like it.  Did you miss where I asked for someone to explain how the team we beat went up in the rankings while we went down?  Looks like it.  Did you miss where a team that lost in the semifinals went up 13 places?  Looks like it.  Did you miss where I said while I didn't agree with us being in the 30s I could understand it?  Looks like it.  The only question I had and have is how do those teams that lost move up in the rankings (in one case significantly) while we won the championship over them.  Is that such a hard thing for you to understand?  I mean I realize it isn't that great paragon of HS football known as South Florida but still. 

Ok oh great self-imagined guru of all things high school football, explain it to this fan boy.  After all, that's what I asked people to do so I could understand it.  It makes no sense and calls into question all of his rankings.

Fred,

This is what I see for Massey Ratings, fyi.

State rankings but still, how does Carrollton wind up ahead of us when we beat them soundly?  Makes no sense.

He's an idiot who thinks he knows everything. He tries to be condescending about it, but his knowledge of football is weak at best. The closest he's been to a football field is in the locker room at St. Thomas Aquinas after practice, so he can collect all the sweaty jockstraps for sniffing. Or, whatever he does with them in his mom's basement.....

You are a silly fanboy who doesn't understand algorithms and computer rankings.

Just say that up front so nobody waste their times reading your nonsense.

Yet again, you added nothing and didn't answer the question.  If you are so good, share that knowledge so we all know.

If you find my posts such a waste of time, a) why do you bother to read and respond to them, and b) you can always put me on ignore so your precious time isn't wasted.

Andy never adds anything of substance. He’s a virus that continues to spread through the system like wild fire.

High School football rankings are pretty much bogus and myth. I'm not sure what you think Grayson has to do with that 

You seem upset.

See, this is who we know that you're not a serious person.

You don't even understand that one algorithm rated Carrollton's entire season higher than Grayson's. That's it.

You're a feckless, whiny fanboy who's incapable of understanding simple concepts.

You too missed the point.  I'm not whining or upset, I'm seriously asking.  After very similar seasons culminating in Grayson convincingly beating Carrollton, Carrollton went up in the poll and Grayson went down.  Why?  So far, no one has answered the question, only attempted to belittle me.  It makes those rankings very suspect.

And that's what I'm asking oh self absorbed one.  The two seasons were very similar culminating in a convincing win by Grayson over Carrollton.  So demonstrate that oh so self declared knowledge and share *why* Carrollton went up and Grayson went down.  What made the algorithm do that?  It's a simple question.  For someone with such self proclaimed intelligence, you sure don't seem to understand that.

And you are a self absorbed, arrogant asshole whose so called knowledge is both suspect and rarely, if ever, demonstrated.  See, two can play that childish name calling game.  If you weren't so intent on trying, and failing I might add, to belittle me, you might see that I've given you a golden opportunity to demonstrate that intelligence you keep trying, and failing again, to flaunt.

Answer the question asked.  You might be surprised at what I can understand.

He's managed to mix his whiny attitude with an amazing level of stupidity.

Unlike you, I'm never ashamed to admit ignorance and ask for information.  That's not stupid.  Stupid is believing you are better than everyone else while regularly demonstrating that you cannot function without self aggrandizement.  It must be sad to be that insecure.

Answer the question.  That's all it will take for this thread to stop.  Or are you just unable to answer because the reality is you don't know and don't understand the question.

As an aside to everyone else, want to bet on how many individual responses to a single post he will put up? 🤣

He could answer. He won’t because he doesn’t have the mental capacity to give you a good one. Nor, does he have the fortitude to do it. 
 

His record for responses might be around 8 or 9 for one post I made. Let’s see if he can break the record. I’ve been living in his head rent free for years now. Maybe you can join me…
