My Top 20 Poll

A poll is not formulated necessarily by any scientific studies and it has it flaws.I try to take a team or 2 from all regions/leagues.This is necessary as most teams stay "in house"for regular season play.I combine overall record,strength of schedules,Quality wins /Bad losses and head to head opponents as well as head to head play when applicable.An example of polls and its flaws is demonstrated in the following example: I would favor Ridgefield to win a game over Rocky Hill if they played a game, but in my mind Rocky Hill had a better year and thusly enters at #20 and Ridgefield does not appear,So it goes when preparing a poll...

After attending my 50th game of the year and the season ending,here is what I consider my top 20.Note :the only teams that I did not see live this year in my top 20 were Newtown,Greenwich and Rocky Hill.
