This is what I’d consider a pretty straight forward ranking system. No complex equations that consider how many points you score (meaning you can take your foot off when you’ve got them down 35-0 @ half), and no opinion. Just wins and who you lose to. Also, it keeps things going based on the year before. For example, if you win state and then you are undefeated the next season you should be ranked No. 1.

“The Bachscore: More state basketball titles going to private schools” – By Rachel Bachman, The Oregonian.

The three Bend school play at the Class 5A level, which is the most unaffected level of all six when it comes to private schools. Marist’s move to 5A could change that some, but it hasn’t this year.
