I'm amazed how you enough time to watch all the 03s, 04s, 05s games.

Hate to burst everyone's bubble, but I've never watched a single '03, '04, or '05 game.

Don't let BW fool you. He has boots on the ground at all the important games. Keeping a close watch on NTX soccer

Yup... I'm everywhere and nowhere, all at the same time...

Rankings, Rankings, Rankings!!!!!!

Computerized YES- but not sure how you compare a 9v9 or smaller league versus a 11v11 larger field league? You can't......... the smaller field teams and leagues are fine but cant compare these teams to the larger fields or 11v11. The teams that can't run or sprint will get beat and maybe by 4 or more goals.

Example some teams ( 9v9) might be ranked higher in the rankings and then they play some 11v11 games on a larger field and start now losing games 8-0,6-0,7-0, 6-0,6-0, and Now why would these teams still be ranked higher than say other teams losing maybe 3-0 or 4-0 to similar ranked teams....????? really depends on how you are personally ranking. top 10-maybe 20 if you want to rank and those teams have been playing 11v11 for a while. The rest of the teams really no use in ranking them...they are pretty much the same on any given day.... they are young and learning. some games maybe they tie 0-0 and they get a higher rank but they were in the defending the whole game.

Not really sure why you all do rankings past 20 really???? and it should all be the 11v11 game by now to do rankings,the 9v9 games or teams should not be in the rankings only the games they play 11v11.

Should be an interesting spring. Looks like the top teams are starting to pull away a little now.

If the past couple of years are any indication, a large portion of the current top 10 from these rankings will still be in the top 10 for the next couple of years.

It looks to me like the current top 8, and I'll even go out on a limb and say the current top 9, are pretty solid. My guess is that all of those teams have a solid core group of players, and while some of them may be a little light on total numbers, they will be able to draw in enough players to round out their rosters for select, and maintain their top 10 status going forward.

My prediction is that if we revisit this post 1 year from now, at least 8 of the current top 9 in FBR will be in the top 10 of the LHGCL U11 Supergroup standings.

Good analysis. I agree that the top eight here will still be the top eight come July 1st. Any of the remaining twelve teams for LH D1 next year could come from #9-30 IMO.
