We beat the #6 team in the elite 6 but we don’t make it ? If Sherwood has our schedule they would be 5-3 also Although you beat Sherwood earlier this year, most do not think you would beat them again now that they are fully staffed. That's why they are ranked and you are not, your early win was similar to Rockville over Damascus, it was an anomaly. |

It is pretty tough to separate the teams that have a legitimate claim for the #5 and #6 spots. This has been the case for a few years now.
RM - Widely considered the fifth best team. But the Rockets only beat Rockville by 3 and WJ by 7. Not much separation there. RM was blown out in its only game vs. a top 3 opponent (41-14 vs. NW). Every team in this group would have fared the same.
SH - Apparently getting the most love (this week) for the #6 spot. Sherwood has feasted on lesser opponents for most of the season. The Warriors played PB tough, but lost by two scores. Sherwood also has an OT loss to Blake on its resume.
WJ - The Wildcats have, by far, had the easiest schedule in MCPS this season. But WJ has capitalized and won handily against teams that the Wildcats usually struggle to defeat. Only blemish is a 7 point loss to RM.
RO - Rockville sits at 6-2*. Squeaked out a win vs. WM, lost a heartbreaker to RM, but owns arguably the worst loss among this group, 14-9 to SV. Also, there is that asterisk.
WM - Owns a close win over Blake. But also has close losses to Blair and Rockville on its resume. Lost big to Damascus, but every team in this group would have the same result.
Blake - Has an OT win over Sherwood. Lost a close one to WM. Lost by two scores to Paint Branch. Got blown out by Damascus, just like every team in this group would have done.
Bottom line is this - every single team in this group would get blown out by QO, NW and Damascus this season. Most in this group would at least keep it interesting vs. Paint Branch (as both Sherwood and Blake did, before both losing by two scores).
Every single game involving two teams among this group this season has been decided by 7 points or less.
WJ is 7-1, but every other team in this group would be either 7-1 or 8-0 with that schedule.
Sherwood is 6-2, but every team in this group would have six wins with that schedule.
Rockville is 6-2* but would be 5-3 without the forfeit.
RM is 6-2, with losses to QO and NW. At least RM owns two (close) wins over teams in this group (RO and WJ).
To me - RM gets the nod for the #5, but there is almost no way to really differentiate the rest from each other. Put their names in a hat and select one for the #6 spot.

Also, their Blair and Einstein beat down shut outs are a lot more impressive than a 7 point win at Magruder. |

That's why they are ranked and you are not, your early win was similar to Rockville over Damascus, it was an anomaly. I think that is a huge overstatement, equating a win on the field with a forfeit win. It also seems that the list of injuries to Sherwood in Week 2 has grown significantly every week since then. I am not arguing for Blake to be ranked ahead of Sherwood (see my last post). But there is a valid point that Blake would be 6-2 with Sherwood's schedule and Sherwood would be 5-3 with Blake's schedule. |

Even though I tend to favor Sherwood's resume over Blake's, I totally agree that on any given day you could put SH, Blake, RM, WJ and maybe even Rockville and WM in blender and spit out a winner. |

RM - Widely considered the fifth best team. You're wrong. Go look at the predictions thread, pretty much everybody except you had Sherwood at 5. Sherwood actually played an Elite Six team close, RM lost to 2 Elite Six teams by a combined 76 points. mocofb.com/post/52948/thread |

And just got running clocked. Just give it a break my guy Blake likely won’t be ranked again. |

RM lost to NW and QO who have a combined record of 15-1. Sherwood lost to Blake & PB who have a combined record of 12-4. RM's best win is over 7-1 WJ. Sherwood's best win is over 5-3 Einstein. |

RM lost to NW and QO. Sherwood lost to Blake & PB. RM's best win is WJ. Sherwoods best win is Einstein I don't care if they beat WJ, WJ isn't an Elite Six team. When you're talking about ranking teams in the Elite Six, you should be looking at how they performed against other Elite Six teams, Sherwood played Elite Six teams closer than RM and therefore should be ranked ahead of RM. You can't sit there and tell me a 6-2 team with 2 losses by a combined 76 points is a top 5 public in the county, when they have not been able to even compete with other top 5 publics in the county. RM got destroyed when they played Elite Six competition, Sherwood on the other hand has played the Elite Six competition they have faced close. |

Losses count as much as wins and a loss to Blake is not a good look. A loss to Blake is worse than a loss to QO & NW, regardless of score. Sherwood would fair no better vs QO & NW. WJ is better than Einstein and Blake. |
