One of the things I noticed about this AP 1A poll: SP loses by 7 to the undefeated 2nd ranked AP 2A Meigs County at their house and apparently there's blood in the water for some of these voters.
6 of the 15 first place votes went to 3 other schools. 5 of those 6 first place votes are to other 1 loss teams as well. 3 of those 5 to a school that got beaten by Jasper, = Jasper the school that wanted no part of South Pittsburg.
