Interesting.

[Coltcity]

2A with 5 teams in a top 25... #10 DeSales, #11 Mayfield, #15 LCA, #18 Danville and #25 CAL not too shabby. Should be a wide open title run.

[PepRock01]

Not terribly surprising. T has been resting starters in district play and Beatty has been showing restraint. Get to the running clock and playing 8 minute quarters in the 2nd half. No need to keep putting points on teams that, were it not for district reasons, would never otherwise be on the schedule.

 

T will definitely be less restrained this week against Ballard though.

[NKUisgr8]

Seriously? Had CCH dropped so low that their return warrants this?

[Guest T Rocks]

Again these ratings are always entertaining

[JC Alumni 76]

Wasnt Cov Cath already at the 1 position in this poll before even after Trinity had played 2 Ky teams?

 

Maybe it was the Litkenhouse Ratings.

 

Regardless, any overall poll without Trinity at #1 loses all credibility. I would say Cov Cath is a solid Top 3 though.

Calpreps has Trinity a one point favorite in a matchup versus Covington Catholic, who is ranked number two in KY on their site.

 

Which team has the most FBS D1 players? I don't know Trinity's roster and that's why I am asking.

Trinity has three solid Division 1 prospects: McDuffie is senior DE. Herron is a junior DE (Michigan). Moore is a senior receiver (Texas). There could be a lineman who gets an offer. Hull and Cardosi, senior LBs, my get a smaller school offers. Had Coach Brohm at Purdue may come calling down the road.

Thanks. The high end talent level sounds even between the two.

I would love to see this game. I believe that Trinity should be the favorite, but CCH could definitely compete this year to make this game entertaining

[fatsnbul]

Trinity by three scores....

If CCH and T both win it all we get to debate this one all off season! :thumb:
