Comparing Missouri Basketball Coaches Poll and My Ratings

I took a look at the boys side of the MBCA polls for all Missouri boys basketball classes this morning and now I am posting the girls polls with my statistically based game comparison ratings, similar to what is used for USA Today's Sagarin basketball ratings.

I have just been digging into the girls side since late January and don't have all the girls teams ranked yet but I looked at the top 15 in each class and added that to the St. Louis and Kansas City data base I started.  I also added team records to this posting, although they come from the MSHSAA and some schools do not update the MSHSAA site.

Here goes..... I will post all of the Missouri schools I have in the next blog:

Missouri Girls HS Class One Basketball final ratings 4/07/2020

Well, last but not least, is the Missouri Girls HS Class One Basketball final ratings. I went through the algorithm a second time and it was an interesting situation.  Walnut Grove was clearly the best team on a weighted basis.  They won the class one title handily but there were four great teams at the top in Walnut Grove, Platte Valley, Community and South Iron.  On an un-weighted basis, Community actually had a better raw rating but when I looked at strength of schedule, Walnut Grove played a SOS of 97 vs. 88 for Community.  Community won by a spread of 33 vs. only 21 for WG but when you look at the caliber of teams, Walnut Grove clearly played some tougher teams which obviously helped them in the stretch run. I included 11 teams in this analysis because Green City deserved a mention.  Wheatland also had a slightly better raw, unweighted rating than Climax Springs but Springs beat Wheatland three our of four games, so they get the nod over Wheatland....

Missouri Girls Class One Basketball rankings 3/01/2020

Here's my latest updated statistical rankings of all the Missouri class one girls basketball teams.  I have gathered more data on each team and taken the district game results into account.  It looks like there will be some highly contested games, with South Iron, Community and Walnut Grove the potential state champion. I took some heat earlier for publishing "not for prime time" ratings with some of my readers.  Hopefully the girls ratings will continue to improve and reflect the season's best teams.  It's not perfect but it is getting closer to the boys ratings which I have been doing for the past three years. Enjoy and good luck to those teams remaining in the play-offs.
