I don't really see how Boyle Co could be ranked ahead of Russell Co, Knox Central or Johnson Central.. It's gotta be more tradition motivated than performance motivated, cause each of those other 3 have outperformed them.. They played Lex Cath tough, but, I think they're a little overrated themselves, especially with there QB out and I think any of the 3 I mentioned would play LC equally as tough..

I would have Russell co and Knox ahead of the Rebels at this point. Johnson Central, maybe.

 

Good or bad news is that all of them should be able to settle it in the post season.

Disgraceful that Warren East isn't even ranked in the top 10. They could probably go undefeated and still wouldn't crack the top 10 on here. I understand their schedule isn't much for them to toot their horn about, but they are still 7-0 with only surrendering 48 points for the entire year. They have beaten Monroe (top 10 in 3A) at Monroe and also beat a good South Warren team. Lone Oak is 4-3 but still finds in way into the top 10, probably on reputation alone. I would definitely drop LO out and possibly drop Collins down and insert Warren East at #9.

Agree 100%. East will have the last laugh as they will be playing Highlands for the State Championship in December.

I agree. That Monroe Co win is looking more and more impressive with each passing week.

East does not seem to get a lot of BGP love...but that is fine. Truly, when the playoffs hit, does anyone even care about polls anymore?

 

East's only concern is an underrated and hungry Allen Co. team this week. Win that game and East claims home field for rounds 1-3. Now that is worth focusing on.

Warren East is getting a lot of attention in the ranking process, they are currently in the top 15. I think strength of schedule is a concern. What do you think is East's signature win? Who have they beaten that was not expected? Who should drop out of the top 10?

Ironton beat Ashland and Johnson Central beat Ironton. I would have JC ahead of Ashland.

Lone Oak and Collins not in the top 10 ahead of East IMO.

I'm all for East in the top 10 but if Allen County-Scottsville is a concern then maybe the rankings are correct. No way East loses this game if they are a top 10 team.

[Cynical]

The Lit., AP, and Massey all have East in the top 10...BGP and the Cantral (Sp?) don't. Then again, the Cantral has East as a 5 point favorite over Franklin Simpson the Monday after East beat Franklin Simpson 43-0.

 

Again, polls are just opinions and computer formulas; what matters most are those scores listed on the KHSAA. If East can beat Allen, by 1 or by 21, it acomplishes step one in reaching that lofty goal all teams start the year with.

[DragonFire]

In response to the earlier question, Warren East's signature win is Monroe County, the #7 team in 3A. That win is Monroe's only loss and came at Monroe County. The win gets more impressive each week. Really the only other argument for Warren East based on their resume other than being undefeated is the nature that they beat their teams, which is to say they crush them. Good teams beat bad teams handily, and East does.

It's modesty on East Raider's part. I like AC/S, but they're overmatched in this one, and they'd probably tell you that. Injuries have robbed the Patriots of their season, which despite being 1-3 through 4 games, looked promising at that point.
