Power Rankings - SOS

"We are not amazed."

The initial power rankings are out and it's an SOS (Strength of Schedule) issue. The Middlesex League teams are getting hammered by poor performance against non-league opponents as a group. 

Whatever one's opinions of the power rankings, they're objective. 

In Division 1, Winchester is 20, Lexington 26, and Belmont 28. In D2, Melrose is 12 and Burlington is 21. In D3 Wakefield is 16. 

If a program wants respect, it has to earn it. With almost a point between number 8 and 9, it's a long pull to get there.
