Trinity 11th. Wow!

Their class by class recap is ridiculous to say the least. Very uninformed and outdated assessments on several teams.

I liked it a lot better when Troy released them one at a time.

And Trinity 11th, that is laughable.

This stuff is A LOT of work and it is easy to tell when shortcuts are taken.

I think that Cov Cath will have a pretty good team with a skill position group that would not look out of place in the GCL South. Having said that, I would be stunned if we’re better than Trinity.

Somehow, they always out-do themselves in removing any and all credibility when they post these. 

 

I thing Bryan Station is ranked too low.

Looks like the season crept up on him, looks rushed.

He told us on BGP a couple of weeks ago he was probably going to release them this way so I don't think it crept up on him, I think he took the "easy way" this time around. 

These are always controversial, it creates publicity and conversations.

I really wish Boyle could play 6A this season to see how they would fare and if they really could bring home a title in the top class. And I haven’t heard much about Corbin. Are they really that good?

I rescind my comment about Corbin. I didn’t realize they had that much of their offensive firepower returning from last year and just saw they also added a few good transfers. They should be pretty stout once again.

No countdown this year, but the preseason top 25 was released yesterday on KSR. Plus the top 5 per class.  This is my fourth year doing them. I appreciate the coaches that gave me feedback on who they think would be the top teams in their class. So I used that feedback along with weighing in how well teams did last year and who they have returning, transferring in, along with players they lost due to graduation or transfer.
