I think we can expect a major shake up in the D1 rankings... Excluding the out-of-state teams, only one of the many ties and losses was to an unranked team. Caddo Magnet ran the table but none were ranked teams. So I think after all is said and done not much will change other than Rummel getting punished for its loss to unranked Comeaux, and maybe Fontainebleau moves into the vacated spot and Carencro moves up a notch. I think the same 10 teams will still be there. |

All of Rummels losses except Comeaux have come to either out of state teams or to the number 1 and 2 teams in Louisiana...Brother Martin and Jesuit are ranked 1 and 2 in La and are both still undefeated....all 4 mississippi teams that they have played and lost to are in the top 10 in mississippi..every1 saw how good rummel can be when they played jesuit..they just need to play like that everygame..they seem to play to the level of their opponent whether its up or down...in the lost to comeaux this weekend Rummels sweeper and center mid both were out because of injury or sickness. rummel was hot in the beginning of the season but seemed to fall away from that streak..I think with the win over brhs Rummel will get back on that streak and become the team they are capable of being

I think that Br. Martin or Lafayette both have potential to drop a spot or flip flop. I would expect Fontainebleau to jump 3-4 spots and overtake St. Paul's. Catholic BR may suffer slighly from not playing many high profile games this week. Rummel will probably drop 2 or 3 spots with a couple of losses. Carencro should jump a spot or two based on strong performances against good teams.

Fontainebleau should move up but wont, Bro Martin should go down, Rummel down, Dutchtown down, St Pauls down, Acadiana up and some additons.
Here would be my top 10 if i was voting:
1) Jesuit (15-0-0)
2) Fontainebleau (9-1-0)
3) Lafayette (8-2-3)
4) Brother Martin(9-0-4)
5) Catholic-BR(6-2-3)
6) Caddo Magnet (10-2-0)
7) Carencro (9-1-3)
8) Dutchtown (7-2-3)
9) St Pauls (7-5-0)
10) Acadiana (7-4-2)
Some others for consideration: Shreve(12-4-2), Rummel (8-7-2)NISH (9-4-2), Ponchatoula (8-3-0), Byrd(7-2-0), Airline (9-6-1), Central Lafourche (8-5-1), Grace King (5-1-2), Terrebonne (4-3-3), St Amant (6-2-3)

Why should BM go down? They are still undefeated. Fontainebleau and Lafayette both have losses. What puts them above BM?

I would move BM down for a few reasons. You are right, they havent lost, but they didnt win this weekend either. Brother Martin has only won 3 of their last 7 games, with 2 of those wins coming against lower class opponents, and the third coming against a 2-8-2 Holy Cross team. Lafayette won this weekend against a 5A ranked opponent, and its loss came in PKS(as has its only other loss). FHS has won 5 straight, including Fridays win against St Pauls(on the road). Right now,I believe FHS is on the upswing, while Brother Martin has leveled off a bit.

FHS win against St Pauls means nothing. BM has beat St Paul's twice. St Pauls is not what they were last year. That win doesn't mean Fontainebleau is on an upswing. Any of the top 5 should beat St Paul. And they still have a loss. BM is still undefeated.
Lafayette loosing in PKs are still counted as losses. They didn't finish when it counts. It's not a win. So they are no better than BM and shouldn't be ranked higher.
BM ties are to top ranked teams (except for GK which was more of a last minute scrimmage than a game and everyone got playtime)

If FHS' win against STP means nothing, then by your own logic, BMs 2 wins against STP mean nothing either. You cant argue it both ways. Lafayette tied BM this weekend, but also won 1 of its games, whereas BM did not. Lafayette advanced, BM went home. I agree with you on the premise that even pk losses are losses, but the only difference between a tie in a tournament and pk loss after a tie in a Tournament is where it happens. In this case, Lafayette got its loss in a semi final, meaning it handled business in bracket play, where Brother Martin did not. I still think Brother Martin has a solid team, I just think they have leveled of some over the last 2 weeks, whereas Lafayette and Fontainebleau have improved. FHS has had to deal with a lot of adversity, more than any other team, and they are still getting it done--despite the distractions

I'm not trying to argue both ways. I'm just trying to understand the logic. I just meant that beating St Pauls shows no indication of an upswing. Beating Catholic or Carencro or Lafayette or even BM would show an upswing. Beating an 9th rank team does not indicate upswing. Beating an 9th rank team is expected if you want to stay in the top 5.
Same as Lafayette's 1 win was against Dutchtown (8th rank) that is expected. Not sure about the Kelly team but their 3 losses indicates they're not a top ranked team in Texas. Usually Texas teams are a bit stronger than LA teams.
All I'm saying is that BM, Lafayette and Fontainebleau are all very equal teams. So why put Lafayette and Fontainebleau at 2 and 3 since they do have losses. At least BM was able to hang and tie some top ranked teams. Maybe they didn't win but they didn't loose.

Once again, I am forced to agree with the Phatman. Naturally, I would put Lafayette ahead of BM. I thought the two teams were very evenly matched. The game went back and forth and I believe even the most prejudiced observer (such as I) would have a difficult time saying one team had a clear advantage over the other. Nevertheless, we broke bracket and they didn't.
As for our "losses" to Teurlings, you have to know the history between these teams, especially the players. It has been noted that many of the Lafayette players play for the Coup de Grâce, which is true. It is also true that three of Teurlings main players are also on the Coup and they are trained by Kevin Mooney, the erstwhile trainer for the Coup. Some teams just have a way of getting under another team's skin or into their head, as it were.
Anyway, back to BM, they also tied Teurlings. Who is to say that had that game gone to shootouts, BM would not be looking at an "L" on its record? When discussing the best goalies in the state, Ray Savoie's name has to come up. In our two shootouts, he blocked three shots on a total of eight and has made some amazing saves.
Finally, as for the Clinton team, they had a LOT of players on that bench. Good team, don't get me wrong. I didn't see the finals, but I know the Teurling players were seriously dragging by the end of the Lafayette game (which had two 5-minute OT periods). They could not have been too fresh an hour later.
