Nor - Cal 12U Spring Summer Rankings

[Journey17]

I'm not saying this sarcastically. What has CC Dirt Dogs done, besides beating Sting down south?

Either way, body of work or current snapshot, Norwood clearly should be top 3. Her team has won a couple tourneys, 2nd in another and went deeper than the top 2 in the force. I personally think she should be #1. You can do a 14u poll and put miller and Garcia in that one if that's where they want to play. I'm not saying anything bad about those 2, just saying that Norwood has been the most successful 12u team so far!

I agree with 2muchparents that Norwood should be #3. Team Extreme still has to prove themselves against top tier teams. It's almost like viewing the BCS poll rankings at times, but for the most part....good job.

I dont understand how sometimes a team beats a team once and the beaten teams gets bumped down 2 or 3 spots. Then sometimes a team beats a team and nothing in the rankings changes. Sometimes a team makes the silver bracket and they only hear how they must suck to not be in the gold bracket. Then some teams get in silver and it's because they had a tough pool. Sorry. If you were good enough to be in the gold bracket you would have been there. Didn't Heat beat Dirt Dogs? Who are we to say they didn't deserve to win?? Dirt Dogs should be below Heat if Heat beat them. And the silver bracket still means you didn't play well enough to get to gold.

Answer:

7.) CC Dirtdogs - Mancha: Even though they ended up in the Silver Bracket if you look at the pools this was probably one of the toughest pools to play. I have put them ahead of Heat 99 based on the way they played over all in their pool. They out played Heat 99 against each team the competed head to head on. Heat 99 squeaked a win out over them but I still think they are a better overall team. Runner up in Silver

I think Louie explained his choice just fine had you read what was posted. I see where he is coming from. As for the one who say's Norwood should be #1 Uhhhh No!! Good team I see your point but remember Garcia has played in a lot more 12u tourneys this spring then 14u.

One thing I will say is at least Louie has some type of thought process behind picks. Looks like a combo of Body of work and a snap shot view. Better then the, my kid plays on this team so I think we should always rank them up high process. Or the I don't like this team so just talk crap about them and rank them low.

I like the 99 Nor Cal list as well just not sure what extreme has done to go to 3 over Norwood. Have they won a tourney yet this year? Honest question not sure if they have. Trying to get an idea on your thoughts as to why they are so high.

I was kidding about the #1, but not the top 3. They have improved a lot over the last month.

Too much emphasis on Silver placements.

There are teams who played in gold in Fresno that aren't on the rankings on page 1 and we have Modesto Crusaders and Breeze 00 who are good teams but couldn't make it to gold on there? What a joke. I'm thinking that the original ranking isn't worth much. I think the other rankings are a little closer to reality. I wish we could do a ranking like the 14u has. Seems a little more credible. JMO
