Since it seems like everyone else is doing rankings, I figure I'd give Region C a shot. However, I won't be arranging them in an ordered list from 1-14. Instead, I'll be using a tier list that groups teams of similar skill levels together.
It's important to note that these tiers will likely change on a weekly basis. This is just where I'd put their playoff hopes heading into week 4.
Tier 1: These teams are the favorites to win the region. They can be beaten, but to be in this tier you must be favored by at least two touchdowns over all other non-Tier 1 teams.
Tier 2: These teams could win the region, but at this point in the season they're not quite at the level of the Tier 1 teams. They're a few steps ahead of Tier 3 teams.
Tier 3: It isn't reasonable to expect these teams to compete with the Tier 1 teams at this point in the season, but on a good night they could beat the Tier 2 teams. Tier 3 teams typically have at least one major weakness that Tier 1 and Tier 2 teams will be able to exploit. The better Tier 3 teams will make the playoffs.
Tier 4: These teams are a step below the Tier 3 teams, but it's not a huge gap. I would say a team from this tier could beat a lower Tier 3 team a couple times out of ten.
Tier 5: Teams in this tier are in for long seasons and likely will struggle to reach 5-5, if that. Some marked improvement could see them move up one or two tiers.
Teams are arranged alphabetically:
Tier 1: Broad Run, Tuscarora
Tier 2: Liberty, Sherando
Tier 3: Handley, Heritage, Loudoun County, Loudoun Valley, Millbrook
Tier 4: Culpeper County, Fauquier, James Wood
Tier 5: Dominion, Kettle Run, Park View
