Personally I don't care about polls for high school. It has little to no factor on the outcome of the season. IMO an AP poll should go by Record and then SOS in high school. It has no effect on post season play and can help the rebuilding of down schools.
But I do agree with you vandyfan1, Waverly will be probably a 6 or 7 at best come last week of the regular season. I don't see a top 5 because of easier schedules by some. But no feelings hurt here, I'd be fine going into playoffs unranked!
