Hanger4,
Just curious where you found these regional rankings? Its great that someone is making them because its so hard to rate the teams nationally since its rare that teams play outside their region. The regional rankings should be more reliable although I question at least one placement in the region. Lynchburg took 2 games from Emory & Henry a week prior to the their record being 22-8. :thinking:
You would think head to head match-ups would be the #1 basis for rankings unless the win/loss records were significantly different. Anyway, could you give me the URL for the source of the rankings?
Thanks
Dan
