E9 top teams have their chance to improve in the rankings too - beat the weaker teams by 7 goals.
They might get dinged on the SoS rating, but you can make up for that with dominating wins.
Just have to avoid the 2-goal wins against bad teams.
Maybe that formula won't help you break the top-10, but you can hover inside the Top25 all year that way.
That is true, and a few do, but as you know these kids play up or down to their competition so there are very few 7 goal spreads. The goal is generally to win, not to win by 7.
