Sounds like a cool opportunity, congrats!

Completely understand your position.
 
During my time at VirginiaPreps, I did some things well and I have some regrets about not doing enough in other areas. Ultimately, I found some people willing to help and others more interested in throwing up obstacles. It's all part of the game, no problem. The more that I learned about SWVA, the more that my perspective changed. It was great fun.
 
I wouldn't expect my voice to carry much weight on that side of the state, that's fine.It won't stop me from trying to have conversations with people who seem to enjoy high school football as much as I do.
 
One of my favorite memories from my time there was my trip to the Richlands/Union game last season and, were I still with the site, I'd likely have made that trip (or a different one to SWVA) this season.
 
As a coach now, I've found my perspective on things continues to change and I'm sure that I will find people willing to have conversations about new ideas both here and in other places.
 
Appreciate your time, sixcat.

The real beauty of the situation is that Friday night will settle any disputes about the rankings. 
 
The scoreboard always provides the final answer. Should be a heck of a game.

"Having zero effect" and completely avoiding conversations are different things.
 
I responded to SWVAGridiron because I am interested in conversations about how rankings should work and theories behind them. Same conversations that I have with the math guys like Gilliam and Hutchinson regarding their theories.
 
When sixcat responded that I'll likely get discredited for rankings that involved me in the past, I responded to say that those attacks won't bother me. I don't have a button that can be pushed. Sorry.
 
Either way, I stand by my original premise that a defending champion does not hold their spot until they lose. It's really not an outrageous idea. 

LOL.
 
Anonymous complaints from messageboard posters have zero effect on my life. I've met too many thoughtful people willing to discuss their (and my) passion for the game to be bothered by the weirdoes.

I believe that to be the case and its pretty automated after that.  Any cut up film highlighting players/what not then uploads to the MaxPreps page.

Either someone on staff or someone designated by the program.
 
Their data entry platform is a bit bulky and could be more user friendly.

That is almost always the case. It can often be quite tough to get things said on record, even when you and the person you are interviewing know the truth.

I know, right? I had to stop at Rite-Aid today and buy burn ointment in bulk.

Really, really cool stuff Ryan

I got a pretty solid laugh out of the complaint from Woodbridge that they had to travel "over 200 miles" round trip to Thomas Dale for a playoff game

Absolutely horrible idea that, quite frankly, is bordering on un-American.
 
Bill can't die fast enough.
