OFFICIAL HOLLYWOOD TOP 35 ~ 2024-25 ~ POLL 1 ~ SEPTEMBER 22, 2024

The games played column is beginning to get a workout, so it’s time for the first OHT35 of the season. For most teams there is one more week of exhibition play before the regular season starts.

NOTE: This is NOT a ranking. The results have just been entered onto the tables I intend to use this year.

* indicates total includes a tie game
Conf. indicates overall conference record
Conf-x indicates exhibition record within conference
USP-x indicates exhibition record within USports but outside conference
USP ∑ indicates regular season and exhibition record against USports teams
Other indicates record against non-USports teams
Total indicates record against all teams
AOA is the average of averages against each category of opponent.
~ Indicates results “smoothed” to reduce impact of categories with fewer games. The categories are merged and the value applied to both.

OFFICIAL HOLLYWOOD TOP 35 ~ 2024-25 ~ POLL 2 ~ SEPTEMBER 29, 2024

The pre-season component of the exhibition/non-conference portion of the season has wrapped up this weekend. I have assigned a preliminary grade for each team.

NOTE: This is NOT a ranking. The teams are sorted by their preliminary grade then alphabetically by conference. From the end of last season, the changes are:

CW: Alberta drops from B to C+, Manitoba is up from C- to C+.

OUA West: Brock drops from B to C+, Guelph is up from C to C+, and Waterloo and Western Ontario are up from C- to C+.

OUA East: Carleton is up from C to C+, and RMC and York are up from C- to C.

AUS: Acadia and UPEI are up from C to C+, St. FX is down from C+ to C, and Dalhousie is up from C- to C.

* indicates total includes a tie game
Conf. indicates overall conference record
Conf-x indicates exhibition record within conference
USP-x indicates exhibition record within USports but outside conference
USP ∑ indicates regular season and exhibition record against USports teams
Other indicates record against non-USports teams

AOA is the average of averages against each category of opponent.

Not sure why in your tables that the AUS can be 6-3-1 vs. the OUA, but the OUA is 4-5-1 vs. the AUS? Shouldn't it be 3-6-1 or am I missing something?

OFFICIAL HOLLYWOOD TOP 35 ~ 2024-25 ~ POLL 3 ~ OCTOBER 6, 2024

This is the first ranking, since all but Manitoba opened their regular season last weekend. Nobody shifted (yet) but shifts are quite likely in the next week or two. (FWIW, shifts from C to C- or vice versa do not affect the rankings so I’m not making note of those.)
