The guys (Brandon Baney, Logan Green, Scott Burton and Paul Kingsbury) got together recently to do a deep dive into the MaxPreps rankings that are used in Idaho's state tournaments. What's working? What isn't? What new info needs to come to light?

If you missed it live, don't worry - we've got you covered. You can watch the entire conversation below. Please remember to like, share, and comment because we will be monitoring the feedback it gets for quite a while. If you don't have time to sit down and enjoy it all at once, we marked some of the highlights with time stamps below

Out of state games
Who is going to call Star Valley because they have a game against Jackson late in the season that wasn't reported by Saturday midnight? This all affects the "ripple".

Cont. Out of state games.
I should clarify. Star Valley plays multiple Idaho teams each year, which affects the Idaho rankings weekly, as does all out of state games.
