While I am full of questions about my peers and their votes, the one that really sticks out is an 0-3 Fulton team being anywhere close to the top ten right now. Sure, they may be eventually ... perhaps, but not right now.

 

And something else to notice, twelve members actually voted. I, for one, never was able to get my votes in due to technical issues on both sides. It was frustrating and hopefully more can contribute as the season rolls on.

Maybe the 'technical issues' is the fact you are one of the few voters that actually know something about Tn HS Football.

 

For publishing it here, Thank You!

How did Knox Catholic get left off the list?

You took the words out of my mouth. Two of the three loses are region losses.

 

Also thought Ravenwood would be higher, Friday night will tell us alot.

6. Cleveland 3-0 43 5

We don't want to be in the AP poll, to much pressure already for this young team

[TankTalk]

Another incredibly puzzling question.

 

How did Knox Catholic get left off the list?

I didnt really pay attention to the other polls, but the 3A poll is just plain dumb for many reasons.

 

1. Fulton Falcons-they r probably one of the most talented and athletic teams in the state, but not right now. they have started 0-3 so what has qualified them to be ranked 9th? they even have 2 first place votes and havent won a game. wow.

 

2. White House Blue Devils- it seems they are either having a down year or having a bad start. either way they havent won a game so why are they ranked 12th? not putting your BDP's down, but right now its the truth.

 

3. Knoxville Catholic- undefeated. dominating. very very good right now. not in the top 10. wow.

 

4. Cheatham County Cubs- same as above. wow.

 

5. Livingston Academy. same as above.

 

And thats just what i noticed in the 3A poll. they might as well quit having this poll. its dumb and pointless. it serves no purpose other than to waste people's time and cause controversy. simply amazing how this "poll" even got published

I like the first 7. I don't like Science Hill as high as they are, nor Germantown. I think

Wilson Central should be #8, Ravenwood #9 and Science Hill #10.

 

Just my two cents.

[TheBoredGuy]

1A is terrible. I'd take JCS against anyone in 1A except Trousdale, and Gleason...I love 'em, but they're not #9. Union City is a glaring omission.

[acmoney]

i agree ...the 1a polls didnt look good to me either...where was union city, mckenzie, fayette academy....i'd be willing to bet that half of the teams in that poll couldnt hang with the teams i just mentioned...west tenn. got screwed in my opinion...
