Originally posted by Unregistered View PostI look at the rankings for what they are, an interesting reference point, nothing more or less. You're right, the "cherry pickers" are the ones that have the most heart burn over it.
As a scientist, I do get the occasional laugh at people who obviously need to validate their players' worth through these rankings.
Perhaps these folks could be better enertained after reading about skewed statistics or lying through statistics?

I agree for the most part. A little silly to rank kids at this age.
The rankings however have been pretty good as predicting non-league games.
I do think the top five teams in the rankings are the top five teams in Oregon. At some point these rankings could be valuable for seeding tournaments and qualifying teams to play in higher level regional tournaments.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostParents of the younger girls are so funny. Especially the parents who are going through this for the first time. You all should be having fun right now rather than analyzing through linear regressions (which is almost laughable). You team doesn't matter right now, just let them have fun. At U15, you need to worry how good your team is, but by then, 50% of your teammates will have left soccer. Yours could be one of them.
