Final Regional & National Rankings

Note-As a longtime Ranking Committee/NCAA Selection Committee member, I have always wanted to move beyond subjective rankings/selection, towards a more objective numerical system. In putting together this trial system, I did find subjectivity to play a part, but I do feel that the numbers produced a far more objective result. Some of which I was surprised by!

Again Points were awarded based on W's and L's, with more points being awarded for defeating/playing higher ranked teams. Points were increased for Final 8 participation. Regional rankings take into account solely in-region matches, hence some wide disparity between Regional and National rankings. One of the flaws that I will be looking into rectifying is that all Regions were assumed equal......that is not true. Anyway, here they are.....
