I like the teams listed 1-6. 7. CovCath 8. Graves County 9. Madison Southern 10. South Oldham Graves has 5 losses, but they are all to quality opponents. I would give them the same ranking love that HHS and CovCath get for playing a tough schedule. Not sure how Southwestern is still ranked, and how Montgomery Co could be ahead of Madison Southern.

^^ Oh my. I hope RCC doesn't see this thread.

I predict 1-5 remain solid after this week's games. I predict 6-10 will look a lot different after this week's games.

Before I click the link, can anyone refresh my memory on (1) which region of the state the AP voters come from and (2) the whole north/central/east/west thingy from last week.

Rather than add teams to list, I'll pare it down to just the two favorites- PC and BG. Interesting how you eliminated Christian County based on their lopsided losses to BG and Owensboro but forgot to mention that they just defeated Graves County 2 weeks ago. Your right about one thing, I know very little about the teams out west except for scores listed on the web. Looks to me like GC, O, and CC are about even and several touchdowns behind BG. Fern Creek will have to actually defeat a good opponent for me to believe they have any chance at all.

^^^Could you post quote those talking about a title run please.

Graves Co - really. Why not Christian Co? Untested Fern Creek - really. Come on guys, a better answer would have been .... " I'd be shocked if it was anybody but BG or Pulaski ". If your adding teams like Fern Creek and Graves in the mix - I got a couple more for you.

Southwestern was highly ranked in 5A and got a running clock put on them. Is this a case of Pulaski being that good, or was Southwestern overrated? Is it only Pulaski, BG, and Owensboro in 5A Looking back at SW's record, they do have a blemish to 4-5 (4a) Bourbon County.

Though I realize that the biggest part of the recent success of the Birds is the "schedule relief" the last three weeks, I have seen some subtle changes that are leading to better results. A couple of defensive positions have been changed, a couple of personnel changes, and less rotation defensively. Offensively, Mitchell Cain finally appears healthy and was the Birds got the ball in his hands a few times. Hergott being efficient within the passing game. Shorter, higher percentage passes. Confidence building.

I only counted 1,724 - send me a PM with your list so I can see what I've missed.

Nice effort by HHS on senior night. Bradley Greene took the opening kickoff back 90 yards for the Birds first score. Nice runs and short passes moved the Birds down the field on their next few possessions. Ill advised deep ball across the middle, thrown from the end zone, was picked off and set up Grant's score in the first half. Running clock midway through the second quarter. Congrats to Ryan Conley on a beautiful over the outside shoulder 30 yd. TD catch late in the first half. Jared Dougherty added to his school record PAT total by going 5 for 5. He has a chance to make it into the state all-time top five over the next few weeks.

Nineteen voters with a good handle on the relative strength of teams from their area. They do not have the time to devote to ranking 60 teams across the state. They probably slot the teams they know then fill in the blanks based on the easiest method = W/L record. It's quite simple N Ky fans: Ryle is 7-1, Cooper is 7-2 = Ryle ranked higher

CovCath survives. Wins in PK's 4-3

Game is into PK's

Apparently this game is in OT 1-1.

Do you guys realize what happens when a team attempts a 50 yd field goal in high school and it is missed?? It is placed at the 20. No different than a punt into the end zone. The misses that Jared has this year are FG's that most other HS teams would not even attempt. They would just punt. Again, this is the one part of the game that HHS has an advantage over every team they play no matter how you try and spin the numbers.

Not struggling kicking them at all....:sarcastic: But thanks for bringing up the HHS kicking game. This is the one aspect of the game that is their biggest advantage. Kick offs into the end zone, punts that are long and high, and the threat of 3 points from 40+ yards away.

The talk about a rematch is based on the relative strength of CovCath and Highlands versus the district that they match up against. Take the time to look at the teams that would be the road blocks to such a rematch. No one said automatic, but these 2 "bad" or "average" teams both have a great chance to make the final 8 with one making the state final 4.

^^Good catch. Mont Co is in position to be the 2 seed. If games play out as expected, CovCath would get Anderson Co. Still think CovCath/Highlands rematch in week 3 is the most probable matchup in week three.

One correction JOAT, HHS has already clinched the #1 seed and are district champs. They do not need to wait until next week to make that claim. Woodford County will get to come to FT and showcase "the best offensive line in the state". Will be a treat to see those boys match up with #54 (Robinson).

The final score tells me a lot about the Trinity program. There is a way to win with class. Looking at previous results from 2015, this game could have been 100+ to nothing. Well done Shamrocks.

When did he enroll at Newport? Was it at the beginning of the school year or just recently? I know it doesn't matter for the eligibility part, just curious.

Has anyone found the numbers of players for 13'-14' and 14'-15'? In 2011-2012 school year there were 1,097,597 high school football players. In 2012-2013 school year there were 1,088,158 high school football players. That was an 0.86% drop in participation. The 10,000 player drop in 2014-2015 would be slightly higher - about 0.93%

^^^Nope. Actually BBW doesn't even predict the winner, just the margin. His prediction tells me more than the a final score.
