So your saying if Roberts as announced today out for the season you wouldn't have the Jeeps in the top 5? Top 10? Interesting.

Geez, a 9-2 team outplays the No. 1 team on the road and otherwise plays one bad game all season and they drop to 11th place. Obviously this is not based on its “body of work” to date as they also defeated the No. 3 team on the road, but because the team is now without its leading scorer and rebounder. I’m not saying the rankings should ignore that fact but thats quite unusual.

Geez, a 9-2 team outplays the No. 1 team on the road and otherwise plays one bad game all season and they drop to 11th place. Obviously this is not based on its “body of work” to date as they also defeated the No. 3 team on the road, but because the team is now without its leading scorer and rebounder. I’m not saying the rankings should ignore that fact but thats quite unusual.

They didn’t beat the number 3 team on the road they beat them at home. They got beat by the number 3 team on the road by 18. Not real unusual to drop a team 8 spots after a big loss and losing your best player (per stats).

Marietta will not move up from here but to have more quality wins and a far better strength of schedule (stare at Unioto for example) than others ranked ahead is a disservice to actual record of games played. Taking account of margins of games but no credit for losing by one at Meigs, the No. 1 team? This is an opinion board so I providing my perspective. Don’t know that I’ve ever seen a ranking that anticipates the future midway in the season instead of what’s actually happened on the basketball floor.

I did not have Marietta at the #8 preseason ranking without Bass on the roster, when I found out Bass was a Tiger - I KNEW how much he brought to the table, he did an outstanding job of filling the void left when 6-8 Alex Kendall graduated ... now HE is not there ... will someone else step up?

I feel the Tigers are in a good/realistic position where they can move back up the rankings - the Tigers have a stretch of games that would be tough for ANY team above them in the rankings - Stuebenville (12-1) , John Glenn (12-1), Monroe Central (10-2) , @ Athens will not be a given W (Athens played Meigs very well @ Athens- much closer than the final 15 point margin) ... the committee of one - me - made the call to drop them below the other teams now ahead of them ...

Marietta will not move up from here but to have more quality wins and a far better strength of schedule (stare at Unioto for example) than others ranked ahead is a disservice to actual record of games played. Taking account of margins of games but no credit for losing by one at Meigs, the No. 1 team? This is an opinion board so I providing my perspective. Don’t know that I’ve ever seen a ranking that anticipates the future midway in the season instead of what’s actually happened on the basketball floor.

I don’t know that I’ve seen someone so butt hurt about someone else’s rankings.
