TNG Top 50 Rankings: Week 10
Guyer moves ahead of Katy, Atascocita into top 10, Klein Cain & Houston Memorial big moves
The top of the rankings again held steady while a group of teams made moves up into the 30s, positioning themselves to make a run for the top 25 in the latter part of the season. #10 through #21 continues to be tightly bunched with only a field goal worth of Elo separating this group.
Remember, in an Elo ratings system, teams are not docked at all if they win, but the amount of points they gain will be less if they underperform relative to their expected margin of victory. At the same time, teams that lose cannot gain Elo points. Much of the movement that we see in the rankings is just due to teams’ gains or losses relative to those around them.
Here are the main takeaways from the new set of rankings:
Following their 49-7 win over fellow top 10 Allen, Guyer takes over the #4 spot and very much within close reach of #3 Duncanville
#8 Humble Atascocita continues their upward trajectory, enters the top 10 and will have the opportunity to climb a couple more spots over the last couple weeks of the season
Klein Cain once again making a move in the rankings, this time a 12 spot move up to #38 after re-entering the top 50 last week
Houston Memorial with a huge win/overperformance versus Jersey Village which saw them jump 30 spots into the top 50
Without further ado, here’s the new TNG Top 50 for Week 10:
