Tradition has lost to multiple teams and yet is still ranked higher than those teams 🤔

Said it once (well several times) and I’ll say it again. The rankings heavily favored LI teams this fall. And it’s run out of LI. It’s a joke! But not surprising.
The 3 best teams are in Maryland. And are 1,7,9 and should be 1,2,3.
The rankings are ratings/rankings are average goal differential plus average opponent strength score. The bias you speak of is not in that equation.
In the fall, there are not enough common opponents between the regions, therefore, the system has to imply a strength rating to the "top" teams in LI. The system clearly gave them a higher strength rating this fall then they deserved. It will all work out by end of summer once there are more common opponents. I.e. once LI decides to travel south to play mid Atlantic teams.
