    It all has to do with power rankings. You get 10 points for each win, and one point for each of your opponents' wins all dividied by the number of games you play. If you play up in class, you get two points for each class played up, but with WM in the top classification in LA, no bonus points for playing up.

    WM is ranked 4th because some of the teams they played against (Neville, district games) did not do well in non-district games. This means that they did not get those one point bonuses that three others were able to get.

    I don't think WM has been the #1 seed many times.

    Hasn't really hurt them before, huh. I kinda think they like being the hunter instead of the hunted. It happens so rarely during any season that they are not the top dog.

    The bracket this year is just crazy in favor of them.

    WM's biggest problem has always been Shows screwing with the play calling during the championship game. He has cost them at least two of those.

    Just to clarify I am not a WM fan, but I do respect what Shows has built over years. You're right about the bracket though, I looks like the #4 seeding is going to work to their advantage. Unless they have a huge meltdown I just don't see anyone keeping them out of the dome....again.

    He will keep winning, they've pushed the holdbacks down to the 5th grade. My nephew was one of them last year.

    Weird, on this thread (but not others) I'm getting a banner at the top asking me to buy 2009 football season tickets.
