M&D Red rankings shows the flaw in these rankings- goal differential weights to much on final rankings.
Hoco, Coppermine and 3d Frederick all had significant huge wins/ties compared to M&D red. Hoco lost to no teams lower ranked and beat 4 teams on this list above it yet is still below M&D red. Easy to juice these rankings by scheduling some 10GD wins, you take a hit on SOS rating but you buffer up your GD number. This is bad for the sport but I hear parents quoting this as "the" national ranking. Might affect who comes to your tryouts etc. The most fun is to look at NXT black. 31-3 on the season with 2 losses to 3d Frederick.


Weird to see NEMS ranked so low nationally. Hope they picked up some talent to keep things interesting.
