My exact thoughts.

I totally agree. There is way too much made about scheduling, contenders/pretenders, etc on here and just in general. I get it- it makes for good chatter and for the time to go by, but the fact is that by in large the same teams that have always been in the mix will almost always be in the mix. There are plenty of schools out there where 6-5 to occasionally playing in a region title are the best they’ve ever done, and unless the stars...

They weren’t exactly trying to stop a bunch of thick ankled- slow guys in Warren East. Short on speed they are not.

Go Beechies. Heard there was going to be a massive tailgate for both schools at the Days Inn on Dixie Highway before the game for both schools?

Play nobody’s and move up spots while getting your schedule crapped on? Or Play formidable opponents and heaven forbid lose....in August or anytime early in the season? Everybody wonders if you’re really worth a crap. Join me in the crowd that has a good chuckle at that.

These games are scheduled a year or two in advance. Adair County was just coming off the 3 best years in their programs history- winning playoff games in each of those three years.

AP and it’s warranted IMO. Y’all can make of the rankings what you want, but like I stated earlier in regards to 3A- you have a handful that are legit contenders. The next 12-15 in the big picture aren’t that far apart. Give or take here or there.

I know you (as you should be) & I are on the Tilghman Train, but having him also? Even more of a reason to have them in the Top 5-6 (and I don’t care what happens this week against Mayfield- Tilghman could lose and still should be in one of those spots).

Without question, other than QB, maybe the single most important position(s) on the field. Field position is even more underrated. If you have a punter that can flip the field and pin people, a kicker that everytime you score is going to put it in the end zone or cause people to start inside or around their 20 and a place kicker who is automatic + can get you 3 when needed? If you have even just an average offense and defense you will...

Absolutely correct. The first handful? Arguments to make a run at it? That 6,7-20 spot there isn’t that much difference at all IMO.

I mentioned in another thread that PT could make a strong case at the #6 spot, and in the AP poll they were #5. I could get on board with that. Past that 5-6 spot, though? I’m not sure there is a lick of difference between teams there down to say the 20 spot when all is said and done. But that could also be said for most, if not all classes. There are a slew of teams within a TD or two of one another IMO. Home or Away? Break here,...

I can get on board with that. Didn’t know they had them at 5th.

My thoughts exactly and I know they are in a “show me” type deal with most, but I’m not so sure they aren’t the 6th best team in 3A right now. No offense to the others in the bottom half, but I don’t that any of them want to see Tilghman right now.
