Interesting

After further inspection of the rankings (a) I find it odd that Kaufman is next to last of the remaining teams and (b) that the 2 lowest ranked teams play each other and are from Reg II. Just my thoughts

Kaufman had a really weak schedule. One of the easiest in 4A and when you only beat a 1-9 team by 12 points and two 3-7 teams by three points each it affects the rating.

Looks like what hurt TLE the most was the 37 point loss to TPG. Their rating wasn’t very high to start the season to begin with that lost dropped them 5 points. It’s been gradually going up in small increments since that loss though.

If I was a playoff team in Region 3 D-1, or even trying to advance to the semis in Region 4 D-1......I'd definitely be worried about those La Vega Pirates. They have done nothing all season but win and shut their opponents down. They are averaging over 46 pts/game and allowing less that 9 pts/game against a very tough schedule compared to everybody else.....except Argyle. That's what the real numbers say......and numbers don't lie. Tougher schedule than almost all teams, and better numbers doing it.
