[JustWondering]

So is the other thread the new 12u Rankings?

So is the other thread the new 12u Rankings?

No the other thread does not replace the poll.

I will send out the ballots this week to the coaches and pollsters.

Now that I am out numbered by coaches - the other thread is just my view, while the poll represents over 20 coaches and around 10-15 pollsters. Head coaches votes count twice and pollsters once.

I don't know about all of you people but I think the Bracketologist is the BomB.

Thank B keep up the great work!!!!!

New to HB, and I think it is informative/entertaining.

Just by chance I noticed that the rankings were updated at the top of this thread by Bracketologist. Is a new list 1-25 going to be posted? For you folks monitoring active threads, I am posting this so it shows up in active threads. Here is what Bracketologist posted (Sorry haven't figured out how to cut/paste previous postings the correct way yet):

New poll results below - comments, poll pts and movement on page 1.

So what do you think?

1. Do you agree with the coaches in only the top 8 are capable of winning State & Nationals?
2. Corona Angels Lockman drops 4 places after fixing outfield issues and putting a beating on the Wildcats?
3. Corona Xpress and AA Palomino 97 as close in the poll - as their game at Surf City.
4. Think the Firecrackers will be pissed off at the other coaches comments.
5. Let me know if you see any personal attacks in the comments section - I tried to edit, but not sure I got everything.
6. Can't wait until Frenso!

Bracket,
First off, thanks for all the hard work you put into this.....In answer to your questions I would say only the top 4 "RIGHT NOW" could WIN NATIONALS....
#2 Angels Lockman is a very good team and they will continue to stay up there.....GREAT COACHING on that team and it's young!!
#3 Xpress and AA's Palomino are that close.....Both teams are evenly matched and would probably split 10 games if they played them and they would all be low scoring 1 run games.
#4 I don't think the Firecrackers will care!

Great job and the comments section looks great too!

What about Jesse's OC Batbusters, don't they have a shot at nationals?

Yes,
I think so...I just think right now those other 4 are a little above and then they are right behind....I think by the time State rolls around in a month or so they will be right there....Should be a lot of fun!!!

I guess we will know more after next weekend in SD, but the Firecrackers added a hitter and a lost a pitcher. Does anyone know which one they lost or where she went? Might change up the rankings a bit if a good pitcher went to a different top contender.
