Rankings Updates Released

   The National Homeschool Football Championship Commission took steps this week, to clear the database of any teams who haven't reported a schedule or results. The integrity of the rankings is of utmost priority to the national community of dedicated homeschool athletes and coaches. We want to reward responsible and dedicated leadership by setting a standard of expectations. While it is completely appropriate to be as inclusive as possible during the early part of the season, it is even more important in the latter part of the season, to make sure that thorough and accurate information is used for determining seeding, invitations, and ultimately... a national champion.

    Additionally, any team who posts erroneous results, whether it be though confusion, carelessness, or deceit; will be removed from our database until the errors are corrected. We made one such action this week and did our best to notify the team who posted wrong results. The error was corrected within minutes and the team is back "in the hunt" in our current rankings.

   Statisticians should check their MaxPreps season schedule and results on a quick weekly habit. Make sure someone else doesn't make a false claim to have played against you. We have to remove your team from the database while the false info is impacting your weekly rating. Mondays are the weekly deadline for making all corrections prior to the Tuesday update. It would also be advantageous to make sure your team's opponents are keeping their MaxPreps stats up to date.

   Cheer on your past opponents! It's in your best interest that they build the highest rating they can. Your team's Strength Of Schedule is a very important variable.

Division 2 Excels!

   The latter half of the 2012 season is upon us. Division 2 Homeschool football has some very high achievers this year.

Texas continues to deliver some of the greatest football, but California and Alabama have produced some top teams.

   We can't overstate just how huge a season Stephenville FAITH is having again this year. They are currently in the top 50 of all small-roster teams in America - PUBLIC, PRIVATE, OR HOMESCHOOL!

   Several teams are just starting a football program, this year. We all salute them and congratulate the fortitude that it takes to get a team on the field.
