How many are there?

Same data -

Opponent-adjusted defensive rating

Robinson — 75.79
Madison — 75.72
Independence — 74.61
Oakton — 72.13
Yorktown — 71.42
Battlefield — 69.18
Chantilly — 66.36

Raw goals allowed per game in the same sample

Madison: 3.63
Robinson: 3.80
Independence: 3.80
Battlefield: 4.88
Oakton: 6.70
Yorktown: 7.60
Chantilly: 11.09

How did you come up with these? Why is the offensive score in the teens and the defensive scores in the 60s and 70s.

I used the LN data on the 6a teams ratings, then took the game by game results of the top teams in discussion and came up with an opponent-adjusted offensive and defensive scale, but I didn't take the time to make them consistent. I should have done that so the O and D versions were more comparable, based on goals.

I've done that now.

Adj Off, best to worst

Independence — 16.89
Yorktown — 13.60
Robinson — 13.56
Madison — 11.83
Chantilly — 11.29
Battlefield — 11.14
Oakton — 9.31

Adj Def, best to worst (lower goals allowed is better)

Robinson — 2.74
Madison — 2.80
Independence — 3.91
Oakton — 6.39
Yorktown — 7.10
Battlefield — 7.43
Chantilly — 12.16

What’s an opponent adjusted scale and why have the team orders changed again lol

This is a mess

Look, you didn't read and you're dumb.

" I didn't take the time to make them consistent. I should have done that so the O and D versions were more comparable, based on goals."

I literally explained this to you. I can't effing spoon feed the luddites because you can't read. You don't understand math and numbers, but also you can't read.

It's an opponent adjusted metric expressed PER GAME. It's a valid per game analysis of the scoring data.

If you want to add the context that their future games have opponents who are expected to score at a higher rate than their opponents to date then that'd help.

So the offense from one post to the next is inconsistent because you made them based on goals…to make them comparable with the defense? Ok. How does that work when not every team has played the same number of games?

Question: if Indy defense is so good and YT defense is so bad then how come Indy lets battlefield score 9 on them and YT let in 10, seems somewhat even to me.

It's an average. It accounts for the number of games played.

If the first rendition wasn’t based on goals, what was the scoring?

What ever happened to educated guess/gut call predictions. I miss knowledgeable guy. Is there a signal we can send out to get him back?

[Anonymous]

Comical watching these arguments. Still 6 plus weeks away from states. Since Feb there are 6 schools that can win this and I can’t see a way forward for anyone else. No particular order is Indy and Battlefield from their region, Cosby, Robo, and Madison and Yorktown I’m not sure anyone else can make noise. Sorry Saxons. Total wildcard who joins from Robo and Cosby region. Unlikely they push the top seed.
