Great Question

Question: I'm confused by Guru Ray's rankings. In the Bantam Division, how is it possible that a two loss Burleson is ranked second ahead of two one loss teams -- Midlothian 1 and Alvarado 2? This is especially confusing since both of those teams' only loss was to first place Crowley and Burleson's two losses were to those two teams.

rank	Opponent	Burleson	Midlothian 1	Alvarado 2
1	Crowley		-46	-28
2	Burleson		2	2
3	Midlothian 1	-2
4	Alvarado 2	-2
5	Hillsboro	34
6	Cleburne 1		20
7	Alvarado 1	28
8	Cleburne 2		44	14
9	Joshua 2	30	30	28
10	Kennedale	36
11	Midlothian 2			40
12	Whitney		36	34
13	Joshua 1	40	36

There isn't really a discrepancy here. Both teams beat Burleson by only two points, one in overtime. The two teams in question lost to Crowley by 46 and 28 points. Of the four losses only two were decisive. We'll have more clarity when Burleson plays Crowley. As far as teams played in common - Joshua 1 and Joshua 2 - neither of the teams in question have beaten their opponent by more than Burleson did. Burleson summed points against all teams played are +164. Midlothian 1 is +122 and Alvarado is +90. The two Burleson losses were very close and could have gone either way. There is not enough evidence to say Burleson doesn't belong in the spot above the other teams. Evidence will come from the remaining weeks of the season and the playoffs. It is a good question but it carries no more weight than asking why Alvarado 2 isn't ahead of Midlothian 1 because they played so much better against Crowley. Yet against the other common opponents Midlothian 1 beat them by more than Alvarado 2. In common games between the teams in question Burleson is +68 against Midlothian 1's +68. Burleson is +28 against Alvarado 2's +30.  Nothing to give an edge. Teams have good days and bad days. That's what football is all about. We can't be sure which teams had the good ones and which had the bad ones until we play more games. Burleson doesn't play Crowley during the regular season so we'll have to see what happens in the playoffs. Take a look at the teams next week and we'll see what changes.
