Ratings

[JRutledge]

So with all these ratings systems that states, organizations or associations are using, doesn't someone make the decision of who actually works the playoffs? In other words isn't someone make the final decision of who is working? I hear a lot about ratings, but you are telling me their hands are tied and cannot use some discretion on any level?

I find that hard to believe. Even in our ratings system it makes it very clear that they can use other criteria and I know they often do when saying who is going to work the State Finals. And at least here, that is often more controversial than the ratings themselves in my experience.
