Can someone please explain to me how WM who is currently undefeated, the defending state champion, ranked #1 in the state and nationally ranked in USA Today can be the #4 seed??

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.
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.
How'd you like to be East St. John?
Hats off to my old alumni, C.E. Byrd, good season...develop a passing game & you'll go deeper in the playoffs!
Go Rebels!!!
Weird, on this thread (but not others) I'm getting a banner at the top asking me to buy 2009 football season tickets.
