We are back with this week’s power rankings for Class C. We’ve seen some changes throughout the rankings as teams have started to play more games and we are able to get better results. Bishop Neumann (8-1) jumps into the top spot after running off eight straight wins. Scoring 10 or more runs in five of those wins. Yutan/Mead (8-1) continues to stay at the top of the rankings, but falling one spot to #2. We expect to see the Patriots towards the top all season given the returning experience. Third, we have Gothenburg, who moved up from 12th last week. The Swedes have put together a nice six-game winning streak of their own. Including a 4-1 victory over rival Cozad. You can see the entire top 20 ranked teams below.
Reminder, these rankings are based on a computer formula. This isn’t a coaches poll or Prepfastpitch.com staff vote. We plug in the game scores and the computer figures out the rankings. We don’t do any adjustments for the margin of victory. Winning against better teams helps you the most and losing against worse teams hurts you the most. Over time, the best start to rise to the top.
