Rankings: Group 1 (Final) 12/03/06

Rankings: (12-0) = how I think they will finish (if they haven't finished yet) based on what they have done to date. Records are updated as games are reported.

I have seen the top 4 and 8 of the top 10 and 5 of the second 10. Teams I have seen are highlighted in blue. Basically I have seen 15 of 23 (65%).

Let me know if i typoed on a team's record.

Group 1:


1. Florence: 11-1 Born Index #2 - They got the job done and they will have the best record in Group 1.

2. Paulsboro: 10-2 Born Index #1 - With 2 losses, I cannot rank them on top. but got it done after a slow start to the season and a slow start in the championship game.

3. Schalick: 9-1 Born Index #3 - They may have been the best team at one point in the season, but they did not finish the job.

4. Glassboro: 9-3 ( 9-3) Born Index #4
- This is where they belong. I stated from the beginning that that would end up with 3 losses.

5. Burlington City: 7-3 Born Index #7 - With only 3 losses, they belong here.

6. Gateway 6-4 Born Index #5

7. Pennsville 6-4 Born Index #16 - finished the season with a win over Penns Grove

8. Penns Grove 7-4 Born Index #8 - above Woodbury because of a better playoff performance

9. Woodbury: 7-4 Born Index #6

10. Barnegat 4-6 Born Index #12

11. Lindenwold: 5-5 Born Index #13

12. Maple Shade 5-5 Born Index #14

Since Salem beat Gloucester who beat Woodstown who beat Salem, I rank them in order of overall record. The next 5 are probably a 5 way tie.

13. Woodstown 5-5 Born Index #15

14. Gloucester: 4-6 Born Index #11

15. Salem 3-7 Born Index #10

16. Palmyra 5-5 (thanks to forfeit win)
Born Index #19

17. New Egypt 4-6 (forfeit took away a win) Born Index #18

18. Audubon 2-8 Born Index #9 - better than their record, but the record is what it is

19. Haddon Heights 2-8 Born Index #17

20. Riverside 2-8 Born Index #20

21. Pitman 1-8 Born Index #21

22. Bordentown 1-9 Born Index #22

23. Clayton 0-10
Born Index #23

Not a Paulsboro fan, but Boro I think as long as Paulsboro keeps it respectable against WD and they win the Group 1 title, then they deserve to get the top ranking in Group 1 for the following reasons.

They won ten games and never lost to a team in Group 1, and the only other Group 1 program that could make this claim is Florence, if they win out.

If Paulsboro wins Group 1 and loses to WD they would have beat Lindenwold, Woodbury two times, Barnaget, and Glassboro giving them a record of 5-0 against Group 1 playoff teams.

Schalick had a record of 2-1 against Group 1 playoff teams and lost a rematch against one of there wins.

I think these are the two basic things I look at in justifying the removal of Schalick from the top.

I think Schalick on there best day would closely beat Paulsboro on there best day, but teams like Penns Grove and Glassboro might be able to beat any Group 1 team on there best day also. All we have to go on is the results and that says that Paulsboro gets the top ranking if they win out.
