This week, the Oregon School Activities Association rankings committee is discussing potential changes to the way rankings are put together for team sports. The discussion could see the OSAA adding a human element to the way the rankings are put together for football, soccer, volleyball, basketball, baseball and softball playoffs. There are a number of ways that high school brackets can be put together. The simplest would be a system without rankings altogether. This would include simply ranking teams based on their final record at the end of the regular season (which is how pro leagues like the NBA put playoffs together). A computer-free method would be putting brackets together based on final league standing. Idaho places teams into the football playoff brackets based on their league finish and different leagues are assigned spots on the bracket before the season even starts. The brackets are shuffled so leagues get different seeding annually. A second computer-free method would include basing the rankings entirely by a committee, which is similar to how college football rankings are put together. So, the Oregonian/OregonLive asked readers what they think via a poll posted on Tuesday. The poll has no affect on the OSAA’s rankings committee and is for the sake of generating conversation about the topic. Here are the results: Add a committee to edit the computer rankings: 50% No rankings. Have static brackets that get filled based on league standings: 16.39% Status quo. Average of RPI and Colley rankings: 15.57%Take computers out. Have a full rankings committee: 10.25% No rankings. Have teams ranked based on record: 4.51% Other responses included adding a third computer-generated ranking to the OSAA’s rankings equation, no longer using the Colley ranking system that does not computer out of state games and removing out of state games from the rankings entirely.
