Very serious.
Winning a championship is only one level of success. If next year Evangel Christian wins two games, in my eyes, they will have had a more succesful season than if St X wins the championship based on what they would have accomplished due to the odds against them.
Is thier really such a thing as having four teams in Kentucky. All the argueing and debate around Prop twenty and classes seems to be based on the impractical idea that sports will ever be on an even playing field.
Do the best with what you have, and ultimately you will be satisfied.
