Thoughts?

 

I would like to see Ft. Campbell play someone before they are ranked that high. I don't know anything about their out of state opponents. I know they are an excellent 2A team, and should win the 2A championship, but they are 2A.

 

Lex Cath has not impressed me so far. LCA has impressed me but they are 1A as is Mayfield, very difficult for a 1A team to compete with most teams in this list.

 

I also feel that CovCath would handle several teams ahead of them.

 

JMO, overall a good ranking.:ylsuper:

All good points Camp..I guess I ranked Ft Campbell that high because of the undefeated record, they've won back to back 2a titles, produces a good # of D1 prospects and this years version appears to be there best yet. I remember alot of people thinking Central was a Top 10 team the past couple of years and they were just a 3a team and lost most of the games they played against the bigger, better teams. To me, Ft Campbell has the type athletes that can compete against the bigger schools. Alcoa, Tn is also a 2a team in Tn and they would be a Top 5 team in any class in Tn.

 

I also see what you're saying about Lex Cath. They did beat Cov Cath though and also LCA and played very competitively with Boyle Co and Lone oak, 2 very good teams.

 

As far as LCA and Mayfield are concerned, you could well be right, but, I feel they could beat those teams also and when you add the entire of body of work, consistency and record, I think they both deserve some recognition.

 

I could have easily thrown several other teams in there, like Mason Co, Central, Allen Co-Scots, Conner, Marion Co, Corbin, Prestonsburg..You could certainly make an argument for any of them...

[campbellfield]

No, no....that was an excellent ranking. I'm from Corbin and we don't deserve a top 25 ranking. I was basically thinking out loud.

 

Ft. C may deserve where you rank them, I don't know them other than what I read here

If you think about it, Highlands(sizewise) is just a 3a team and they certainly deserve to be where they are...There's just a few of those rare instances where a smaller school can and does compete with the bigger ones. Highlands has proven that and Ft Campbell, although they don't play the caliber teams Highlands does, is another that would be ranked very high, regardless of what class they were in...

Based on some numbers that were posted in another thread, Highlands is actually 4A in size. But they are near the bottom of the 4A schools so still very impressive for them to be the #1 team in the state regardless of class.

I would love to see a game between Highlands vs St X, Boyle Co vs Lone Oak, LCA vs Mayfield, Simon Kenton vs Scott Co. These would be great games. Also Ft Campbell vs Murray that would be a offensive show.

I don't know about the rankings. They tend to just be for the fans and gauge somewhat close to where you may be. So anything up their looks good to me. I would just love to see some of the matchups. These polls change weekly because they are only a gauge where a team may be. But they do cause excitement. Right UK Fball Fan!

Absolutely, they do...:ylsuper:

[hockentucky]

CovCath ahead of Conner? Probably both of them should be in top 20, with Conner ahead of CovCath pending outcome of Ryle game.

[UK fball fan]

Yeah, I took Conner in consideration. They should probably in there, pending the Ryle game, at least. I just hadn't heard a whole lot of talk about them this yr, but, there record is impressive.

[UK fball fan]

Also, not sure Central doesn't deserve to be as well...There record isn't very good, but, they've played a brutal schedule. The Seneca loss is the one that stood out to me, though and kept them out...

[NEERFAN]

Conner and Ryle are top 25 teams, should be an interesting matchup.

[Voice of Reason]

Yeah, I took Conner in consideration. They should probably in there, pending the Ryle game, at least. I just hadn't heard a whole lot of talk about them this yr, but, there record is impressive.

 

Conner's QB Nick West is the #1 QB in N. Ky. and one of the top 5 QB's in the state. I would rank Conner above CCH as well.

[UK fball fan]

Yeah, Conner has 1 blimp on it's radar and that was to SK(certainly not a bad loss), but, it was pretty one-sided...The only hesitation I had with Cov Cath was the Lex Cath loss, who's not nearly as good as they've been the past few yrs.. Although it's not a real bad loss, it still made me hesitate for a minute.. LCA played them alot closer than CC did and from all accounts, outplayed them for the majority of the game, hence the reason I put them in the Top 25 ahead of CC...

Injured or not I'll take Bardo over West. The game plan on holding him back for the St.X game worked as planned. Compare the schedules of Highlands and Conner, Highlands has played a tougher schedule. I not taking anything away from West but as the best in Nky. I beg to differ!!! I agree with Highlands as the best team in the State of Kentucky.
