St. Xavier makes its initial appearance in the top 20.

Again, how can Newcath be in over two teams they've lost to? Dixie and Boone Co?

Dixie I agree should be ahead of NewCath, although I believe that Newcath would win should they play again. Boone I know had a big wins over Holmes and NewCath, but haven't followed them closely enough to have a good assesment of them. The problem you get with comparing one to one match up's is you almost always come up with some anomalies. If you simply look at head to head you could ask how is that Louisville St. X is rated above Covcath. The answer is the overall body of work, which admittedly is somewhat subjective.

Good logical deduction!!
