Yeah, we're all kind of spinning our wheels on this one. Polls, rankings or ratings are subjective even if they use numbers because somebody got to choose what numbers to plug it and let's face the numbers can favor different teams or the region from which they come.

 

We're now coming to the point where some outstanding teams (that deserve to be in anybody's top 10-15-20-25) will be eliminated from post-season play because they got beat by a very good team in their Region or even District.

 

And guess what? The team that wins each Region and even the State Tournament may or MAY NOT be the best from that region or the state. They were just the best team for this time of the year (not-withstanding injuries, ineligibility, girlfriends problems or God knows what) and may have benefitted greatly by the draw, good or bad luck (not to mention officiating).

 

I appreciate all the effort that BGP puts into doing their rankings and that we can all also usually find the Litratings & Cantrall Ratings on here as well as the combo rating. All add to our enjoyment (or gnashing of teeth if we feel our team has been jobbed :() but are a part of why this board even exists.

 

So thanks and best of luck to everyone in the post-season (except that I hope my team beats your team if we play in post-season!!!).

 

:up:

Lincoln deserves to be with your tier 2 teams. I would put Montgomery Co and probably Collins with your tier 3.

I would drop Dixie a tier, and Fleming Co doesn't have the results to be ranked.

 

I cut Fleming a break because they played so many games without Burns.

Okay.

 

As a Boyle County fan I refuse to defend Lincoln County any longer.

 

Reasonable minds can differ. I could be completely wrong about Lincoln County. I know a lot of people really like them.

I cut Fleming a break because they played so many games without Burns.

 

That is reasonable. I can take it easier on their earlier losses, but would like to see them prove something before ranking them.

Looks very good.

 

I'm not sure that Etown still belongs. Taylor Co might be the best team in that region.

I think I would drop Etown out and move Taylor Co. to 20.

 

In its last 10 games or so, Taylor trailed in the second half to North Hardin, Green County and Marion County.

 

Elizabethtown destroyed North Hardin twice.

 

Yet North Hardin beat Marion and Green DECISIVELY. Why is Taylor struggling with two teams (Marion, Green) that a 7-19 North Hardin team had no problem with?

 

Elizabethtown beat John Hardin twice fairly decisively (Taylor dropped John this year after John beat them by 40 last year).

 

Taylor County hasn't beaten a decent Kentucky team since Russell County on Jan. 9. If you're gonna give Taylor County credit for beating Marion (19-8 record), Elizabethtown gets credit for beating North Hardin (7-19) and Central Hardin (14-9) since both NH and CH beat Marion County by double digits (NH beat Marion at Marion, CH hung 93 on Marion).

 

Since Taylor's last good win, E'town has beaten Central Hardin (14-9), two-time reigning region champ John Hardin twice (16-6), ranked Montgomery County (24-2), Bardstown (20-6) and Indiana's Barr-Reeve (17-1). E'town's losses in that stretch are to Male (by one point at Male), ranked Louisville Trinity and Warren Central (at the buzzer).

Thanks central-ky-kid, and welcome aboard.
