Rankings only matter when they explain the context.
CD Athletic Intelligence prioritizes football, boys basketball, and girls basketball because each has enough statewide attention, postseason structure, and local relevance to support useful pilot research.
Priority sports
Three ranking lanes have real product priority.
Boys Basketball Efficiency Rankings
Boys basketball needs a tournament-conversion lens that separates statewide reputation from performance relative to enrollment and competitive depth.
Open rankings laneGirls Basketball Efficiency Rankings
Girls basketball is a first-class CDA product because it is a major statewide sport with strong school pride, undercovered storylines, and real tournament-conversion value.
Open rankings laneRoadmap discipline
Do not make every sport look live before the research is ready.
Volleyball, baseball, softball, soccer, wrestling, track and field, cross country, and other sports remain roadmap lanes until source coverage supports useful findings.
Roadmap sports should not be treated as live statewide ranking products before data, methodology, and confidence labels are ready.
What moves a sport forward?
Source coverage, repeatable fields, sport-specific scoring logic, audience use case, and enough pilot findings to answer: what did CDA find?
