Playing with numbers

[Albanyfan0678]

so i was watching dave campbells Toughest New UIL Districts video on youtube and got this wacky idea to come up with a way to come up a rating for each district in 2a division 2 for 2022 since the season is over just to see if it came up with anything interesting. i came up with the following formula and ran the numbers. what its support to display is a number that gives an idea how strong the district is overall as well as how difficult it is for teams to win in that district. BTW im in no way saying this is any sort of definitive ranking its just something i did for fun. enjoy

Formula
District name
(Total Points Scored by District - Total Points Against District)
Divided by
(Total Wins by District - Total Losses by District)
Data from Maxpreps
Results Rounded up or down for simplicity

added up all the results for districts

Region 1 : 147

Region 2 : 92

Region 3 : 141

Region 4 : 142

Going with lower is better. all the regions compare favorably in over all strength and difficulty but region 2 does seem to be the strongest and most difficult going by the ratings this produced. does anyone think this is accurate or is it flawed. let me know

One great team can skew the results, ie District 6. Personally think the 4 playoff teams in District 7 which was is your lowest ranked district in R2 were all better than the 2-4 place teams in D6.

i would agree. i would say 3 teams in district 7 are better than any other team in district 6 exept albany and debatably miles though i wouldnt debate to hard on that one. Albany defiantly skews an overall poor performing district.

Interesting, but without accounting for strength of schedule it throws things off. For example, Muenster probably brings District 8 down because they had a fairly difficult predistrict. They could easily schedule wins with points to pile up, but chose to play larger and quality opponents.

[Windthorstfan]

At the same time two weak teams can also pull a district down. Hard to judge on record alone. It wasn't Muenster that dragged down District 8, it was Chico and Era...I would still argue that Region II was amongst the strongest in the state, despite probably having the worse 4 teams in the region. Wink would have a good argument to be the second-best team in the state.

Miles???? For the most part, Miles played a weak schedule. Sterling City was their only win against a team better than .500 and then they lost the rematch in the playoffs. Trust me I would take all 4 playoffs against the 2-4 seeds of District 6.

[Albanyfan0678]

Yeah. They where the only other team that was largely dominating in the district but like I said I wouldn't put to much effort in defending that. Mainly because of their schedule strength but they did put 18 points on Albany same as some other schools. But then go and lose to sterling city who they previously beat by 20 points. So make of that what you will, I'll just chalk it up to Texas football lol

I kinda been wondering what other teams could have gone all the way from region 2. I like wink and Collinsville. Both played Albany hard in there own ways but wink has the edge as they kept the game scores lower and closer than Collinsville did.

[Windthorstfan]

Think Wink is the only team that could have won it out of Region II. Collinsville didn’t have the defense, you have to be able to stop the other team occasionally!
