Week 14 Rankings

Well I'm going to try and give it a go. It's hard be tournament time because it comes down to one game. If a .500 team upsets a one loss team do you put them ahead or just mark it up to one bad night that won't happen again? Of course the top teams don't always win the games and it seems rare that the #1 team does win it all and that's the greatness of tournament time. So anyway here are my updated rankings.

Division One
Oconomowoc lost a tough game to Madison Memorial which is expected looking at rankings but, they were a border line ranked team and they fall out of the rankings replaced by Kimberly who had a big win against Arrowhead. Middleton was upset by Madison West and drop all the way to 15 but, could drop out of the rankings if a team outside of the rankings continues to win.

1. Stevens Point
2. Milwaukee Riverside
3. Sheboygan  North
4. Racine Park
5. Milwaukee Marquette
6. Germantown
7. Madison Memorial
8. Muskego
9. Sun Prairie
10. Oshkosh North
11. Superior
12. Appleton West
13. Milwaukee Vincent
14. Kimberly
15. Middleton

Division Two
Eisenhower was the huge upset and they drop all the way to six with a strong possibility of dropping more if lower teams continue to win. Pewaukee lost to Whitnall and Luxemburg Casco went down to Pulaski dropping both teams to 10 and 11. Milwauke Morse Marshall lost to Washington, Onalaska dropped a game to La Crosse Logan, and Stoughton went down to Mount Horeb, all conference games which are all tough come tournament time because you know each other so well. (Well Mount Horeb and Stoughton are Badger North and South). Monona Grove also lost to a conference opponent in Oregon. MG had the best record of any of the teams that lost so I dropped them only to 13 while the others fell out. Sauk Prairie, Logan, and Wausau East win and continue to move up in the rankings.

1. Kaukauna
2. Waunakee

Division Three
Lake Mills lost but, they've been one of the top teams all year so I only dropped them to eight. Brown Deer was the huge upset losing to Milwaukee Lutheran and dropping to 13 as they were another top team all year. Marshall was taken out by Lakeside Lutheran and dropped to 15. Omro lost to Ripon and Southern Door to Valders dropping both teams from the rankings and are replaced by Prairie du Chien who I've completely over looked and Peshtigo who always has a very good record but, don't play the toughest schedule.
