Top Ten

1. Paul VI. Will take a massive upset in the next 4 to slip

2. Bullis. Solid #2

3. Georgetown Prep. Never really in doubt

4. Landon. Pretender or Contender on Friday

5. St. John’s. Tried very hard to lose

6. Good Counsel. Thumped in the 2nd half

7. Gonzaga - Comeback falls short, stays where they are until GC

8. St. Albans - Needs the win vs Ep on Friday

9. Urbana - Blows out another public

10. Heights - Squeezes past STMR by one

If Bullis ends up #1 make Urbana #2. SOS doesn't matter. Only loss was vs Bullis where backups got to play. Plus, they really gave it to #1,373 Oakdale. Nobody can compare to Urbana, literally, because nobody else plays that weak a schedule. 
Why not add STAB since they actually played multiple teams on this list. They'd slot in at 3. Prep bumps down to 6 and Urbana never belonged near top 10 anyway.[/quote]

I’d be fine with adding STAB for the reason cited (they regularly play a lot of DMV teams) but you’d also have to at least consider some of the Baltimore metro teams that do the same and if you do that you’d likely have only 5 dmv teams in the top ten. This year anyway. [/quote]

St. Chris' plays too, is Richmond part of DC? It's dcum.com, not midatlanticum.com. Those teams are regularly used as comparison games to rank teams in an anonymous and overly snarky forum. [/quote]

Not OP but it’s just as arbitrary to scrounge up 10 teams worthy of a top 10 as it is to draw hard mileage lines for it. There are usually only 5-6 teams each year that are actually good enough to not get shellacked when playing a high quality opponent. The scrap should be over that, not who bottom feeds or nepos their way to some Madlax marketing list.[/quote]

For what it is worth, the rankings below are from LaxNumbers, its compiled a top 10 from teams from the IAC, WCAC and MIAA. 
As the season carries on, I do think these computer rankings do make more sense as more data is ran through its calculations. Not sure if there is any subjective factor in these rankings.

And to be very clear, I'm far from considering myself a GP fan, but you can't deny their SOS this Spring. McDonogh, with its first-year head coach, is flying under the radar and is putting together a sneaky good season as well. Severn has also surprised me this Spring as they are a fairly young squad and might sneak into the MIAA playoffs this year.

The next 4 weeks will bring clarity to who the top dogs are in the region.

Good luck to the players, coaches and the seniors!

Thanks for sharing this! I think it does make sense GP SOS is definitely helping their case and not much denying that.

Bullis/Landon is going to be the biggest/most important game this spring however. I've only watched a couple of their games but I think Bullis will be clear #1 in the DMV after this. Its a big game for both teams and both will be ready but skill and positional player at Bullis should win this game by 4+ if they can keep their heads and not bow to the pressure. Will be fun to watch! They  really want Landon bad after losing last few to the Bears! Including IAC last year. [/quote]
