I could see expanding for 4A and 321A but not for 6A or 5A. With only 32 schools in each class, ranking nearly 19% of the competitors is plenty. That would be equivalent to ranking 12 in 4A and 18 in 321A.
I personally like only ranking the placers as it is easy to grade them after state.
I am in favor of rankings and promoting the sport. I prefer to leave the ranking to rankers or media outlets so that coaches can focus on coaching.
