Don’t really have much to say other than Bryan Station being that low at 20 is tragic & I wouldn’t have South Warren that high at 9.

[Colonels_Wear_Blue]

There are a lot of teams ranked behind CAL that I would pick over the Centurions of they played head-to-head.

[Tkinslow]

Daviess Co at 28 and Glasgow at 59 is wrong somewhere because Glasgow appeared to be at least a couple scores better than DC in their scrimmage Friday night. Elizabethtown seems a little high and Taylor Co seems a little low. Just my thoughts.

[Royal Blue]

Useless conjecture. Nowhere near accurate.

It looks ok.
I think Massey uses some information in their algorithm from the previous season to assist with their preseason rankings which can always lead to good discussion before the season kicks off.

If so Simon Kenton beat 3 teams a head of them? Beechwood should be top 10 at least.

Henderson lost a lot on both sides of the ball top 20 might be a little generous. Mayfield at 34 looks pretty low to me also, I can see them being top 20 once there RB returns.

He said Massey uses some information from the previous season; he didn't say their preseason rankings are based solely on last season's results.

📝 Good news: Cross tabs are sortable (e.g. Strength of Schedule). Not so good news: Massey doesn't sort by Class as CalPreps does. Really good news: It's Rankings Day at BGP.

📝 Two of the Commonwealth's most anticipated games Friday led to some of the biggest moves in this week's Top 20.

• Bryan Station (+5) re-enters the list after their 28-21 win at Ballard (-8). 

• LCA (+4) moves to #11 following a 14-12 win at CAL (-7) 

⬆️ Familiar names edging up the ranks: 4. Boyle (+3), 6. South Warren (+3), with 9. Corbin (+2) making a top ten appearance. 

Strength of Schedule

Not surprisingly, several teams with report cards reading, "not meeting expectations," are strewn throughout the SoS Top 20.
