Washington County is on a good run but I feel that Friday's game with Danville will bring the Commanders back to reality. I hope the Commanders continue to improve their program and consistently go back to the days were Washington County was good each and every year. Their JV team took a thumping Monday in the Conference playoffs to Green County (34-16). It was 34-0 at halftime and the Dragons played only 4 sophomores. The rest were 10 freshmen and 10 eighth graders.

 

I also agree with some of the posters. FCampbell is a good football team but not sure they break the Top 10 yet. If they beat OCath this Friday then they are deserving. I just feel that teams like Green County, Washington County, Monroe County, and Caldwell County are being snubbed. Also, to have Glasgow no better than a #9 ranking to me is way off. That team is very athletic and when healthy, could be a contender. If they do not get healthy though, playoff run could be limited.

How about the 3-5 Fort Campbell team that you have ranked.

Fort Campbell isn't the same team now that Tre Powell is back on the field ... he's the Falcons' biggest playmaker. Note how badly the Falcons beat Hancock County, and compare that score with how badly Owensboro Catholic beat the Hornets.

Teams like Murray get credit from past years and play an easy schedule, but the Commanders come back after being 3-8 and down for several years to play a comparable schedule to most teams ranked above them but get no love.

Murray returned something like 14 starters from a team that took the eventual state champions to the last minute. It isn't like the Tigers are unproven.

It just makes the rankings look laughable when you rank a 3-5 team over an 8-0 team. Washington Co. had a bigger win against their only common opponent, and Fort Campbell also beat Hancock Co. and Todd County. WOW! All credit to FC for the past three years (and I love their program so I'm not bashing) but it's a joke to have them ranked at this point. If they beat OCath, yes.

If then Falcons beat Owensboro Catholic, or even lose a close game to the Aces, it means that Fort Campbell's top-10 ranking was justified.

 

As for the records ... not all schedules are created equal. Washington County has had a nice season and the Marion County win is impressive. But let's face it ... 2A is a pretty strong class and frankly, has more teams worthy of a top-10 ranking than the other two small-school classes.

But until then I just lost a lot of respect for the people doing the rankings at BGP.

And if Fort Campbell beats Owensboro Catholic, I expect you will be on here to give the BGP panel credit for having the foresight to recognize Fort Campbell as a team worthy of being ranked.

 

The BGP panel, in my opinion, does a pretty good job with the rankings. I don't necessarily agree with them all the time, but as far as I'm concerned, they put together a more accurate top 10 than the AP voters do.

You've taken one team out of the "top 10" while claiming FIVE others are being shorted in some manner. I'm not intending to be a smart-aleck when I say this, but this is plainly unfair to your pollsters. Naming 14 teams to a top 10 is a luxury the BGP's poll doesn't have !!

 

The results are simply a batch of opinions on who will be who in the tourney based on increasing data points throughout the year.

 

Believe me, those opinions are often very different. The listed ranking is merely the sum result of opinions - it is NOT the list of one member.

 

 

:bunny:

Answer honestly...Do you expect a good closely-played game between OCath and Ft. Campbell ??

 

- if you DO...you must either agree with Ft. Campbell's ranking -or- think OCath belongs toward the bottom or out of the rankings.

 

I think the rankings are pretty good. I told my son they had fallen out of the top ten and his exact words were, " I don't care about rankings!"... I care, but I think this gives them a little more desire to prove everyone wrong. I also feel Green is feeding off their no rankings!!! Things should get very interesting this weekend!!!!

I also agree with the rankings when it comes to Monroe. Monroe has had opportunity’s to prove their worthy of their previous rankings and have failed to do so...

I think that pretty well sums things up, BGP gets it pretty close! The best thing is that it will all be played out on the field.

How about the 3-5 Fort Campbell team that you have ranked. Really? Teams like Murray get credit from past years and play an easy schedule, but the Commanders come back after being 3-8 and down for several years to play a comparable schedule to most teams ranked above them but get no love. Oh well, the game against Danville will tell if they are for real or not. It just makes the rankings look laughable when you rank a 3-5 team over an 8-0 team. Washington Co. had a bigger win against their only common opponent, and Fort Campbell also beat Hancock Co. and Todd County. WOW!

Both teams have the chance to either prove the BGP panel right or wrong Friday.

 

FWIW, the Lit ratings have Washington and Fort Campbell virtually even. Cantrell has Fort Campbell 18 points higher. Massey has Washington 8th and Fort Campbell 14th in Class 2A this week. Massey also says Washington County plays the 20th toughest schedule in Class 2A. Fort Campbell plays the fourth toughest schedule in Class 2A.

I'm interested in knowing the three higher teams, not doubting, but just curious.

 

Later.

I would guess NCC, DeSales, and either Danville, Corbin, or Holy Cross. However, that is just a guess.

Washington County's signature win over Marion County doesn't look as good as it did about three weeks ago ... the Knights have been really up-and-down since then.

Why is everyone so up in arms? This isn't the BCS. The polls don't equate into seeding. The playoffs dictate who is truly #1.

Me and you are calm, out team is #1!
