3/13/18 Rankings Rationale

We’re going to try and provide some rationale for our rankings each week. We can’t promise we’ll always have time to do this, but as people are interested in rankings like this, we want to maintain some level of transparency about how we think about these rankings and how we approach where to slot teams. We’ve also included other teams who we’ve considered. This is not an exhaustive list of all teams considered and is only meant to try and bring some notoriety to other teams who are doing a great job in the travel season but who might just fall outside our rankings. As always, if you see something you disagree with in our rankings or our rationale, let us know. We’re the first to admit we’re not the expert on every team at every age group and getting the coaches, players, and fans’ opinions on who the best teams you’ve seen or played is always helpful for us.
