It's crazy bro

Agreed. It really supports the argument for a relegation system.

Thank you (again) for the very interesting data.  I would like to offer some statistical context, with two caveats: 1) I don’t know how the “Power” rankings are calculated, and 2) analyzing with a “mean of means” is tricky. Nevertheless, basic statistical analysis indicates that the Rural, SSAA, and Independent values are statistically significant outliers from the 1A-7A values (which have no statistically different variation among them).  In other words, the 1A-7A values are essentially the same, while the Rural, SSAA, and Independent values are “weaker” than those 7 classes. This finding suggests that classes 1A-7A have comparable numbers of “strong”, “average”, and “weak” teams, and are essentially “equal” in overall strength when using “Power” rankings.  It also indicates that school enrollment is not correlated with overall strength.  Additionally, there may be statistical validation for the existence of a Rural class.  Once again, competitive equity would be best served by sorting the “strong” teams into their own classes(es), the “average” teams into their own class(es), and the “weak” teams into their own class(es) and foregoing classification based on school enrollment.
