[quote=Anonymous]In the grand scheme of things these rankings mean little more than bragging rights, more so for parents, than the players.

But for players who are serious about playing in college it does matter who you play against. Teams can only play who they are scheduled against. When playing in lower brackets it’s critical to win those games and unfortunately do so in dominating fashion, meaning win by a lot. These are two variables (wins and goal differential) used to calculate a team’s ranking.

The third variable is strength of schedule. For a team to build their resume in this area they have to keep winning to move up into the tougher brackets. Once in the higher brackets it’s not as much about winning anymore, it’s about being competitive with the better teams you are playing against. This is the formula to building up your SoS. Play the top 20s and keep games close or win.

What is disappointing to hear about Pride is their high school team had the #2 toughest strength of schedule just several years ago. Now posters are talking about the club playing top 50 teams. What happened?
