It's painfully obvious that some voters pay attention only to a team's record and not who they've played, beaten and lost to. This poll is becoming increasingly irrelevant.

 

Becoming?

Becoming?

It isn't like they don't get most of the right teams in the top 10, but simply watching how teams rise and fall gets frustrating for fans that would like the poll to reflect a realistic ranking of each class.

I agree. Its the "receiving votes" that usually gets folks worked up. I'm guessing a couple voters threw a 10th place vote at Bourbon County just as a reward for breaking their streak.

They have played and defeated:

Phelps 54-6

South Floyd 27-14

Allen Central 44-13

 

They will probably win this week against Betsy Layne, then they will have trouble the rest of the season with: Prestonsburg, Johnson Central, Raceland, Pikeville, Pike County Central, and Sheldon Clark.

 

Paintsville, as Ram showed, has started the season 3-0 and will probably win against Betsy Lane. But after that it doesnt look for the Tigers. I cant see them winning another game this season after Betsy Lane. Although they do appear to have some nice athletes, but their line play is going to hurt them against good physical teams.

i think that it is crazy that the top two teams in 1A are on the same side of the bracket come playoff time.

Well the top 5 teams in 3A are from the eastern half of the state, now that makes for some competitive and interesting playoff matchups.

There aren't five teams in 3A better than Louisville Central, and Paducah Tilghman may very well be a top-five team, too.

Class 6A

 

1. Lou. St. Xavier (12) 4-0 182 2

2. Lou. Trinity (6) 2-1 174 1

3. Lou. DuPont Manual (1) 4-0 138 4

4. Lou. Male - 3-1 114 3

5. Lex. Henry Clay - 2-1 98 5

6. Lex. Lafayette - 4-0 89 6

7. Madison Central - 4-0 75 7

8. Scott Co. - 2-1 50 8

9. Lou. Eastern - 4-0 24

10. Lou. Ballard - 2-2 23 10

 

 

Should we just Rename 6A Louisville-A? Is there any team in 6A that will win that does not reside in Louisville. Have a sneaking suspicion that the Trophy will reside in the "ville" for 6A for some years to come. (Unless Highlands moves to 6A which will never happen given their school size.)

Very suprised to see Lex Cath at number 2 in the 4A. All other polls have them number 1 by alot.

I just noticed someone gave Manual a first place vote.

 

Interesting.

 

Hopefully the Crimsons make somebody look real smart Friday.

Mason Co Seems to be Moving :dancingpa

I agree with this.... until I see Louisville Central struggle/lose to a team they are supposed to beat, then Central will be the #1 3A team in my estimation. I will say though, that Belfry is a very, very good #2 team as well, better than alot of people realize this season.

 

As for Tilghman, they are a bit tougher to read. Their schedule has been very tough and they haven't bee blown out by anybody, but at the same time if they were a true 3A contender this year I think they would have found a way to beat fort Campbell. As tough as PT's schedule has been it doesn't even come close to comparing to Central's.

Why does Pikeville drop after losing to the #2 ranked team in 4A? UNBELIEVABLE

:thumb: I agree, that one makes no sense to me at all. Just another thing about polls, they are just that - something for everyone to look at and talk about. They really don't mean a whole lot of anything else.

No argument here.

 

I think Tilghman should have beaten Fort Campbell, but they've also lost close games to a ranked 5A team and a potential 6A district champion. They led Christian County in the fourth quarter and failed to score from the 5 in the final two minutes at Graves County. Their early schedule is the second-best in 3A, but it still doesn't hold a candle to Central's.
