this is a horrible reference. u cannot compare anything to the waste of a bowl system in college now. u can make the argument that the winner of the 1st and second team is not the national champion because they haven't had to work through a playoff brackett to get there.

 

I would agree that I would love to see a playoff bracket in NCAA, but even if there was, if a team who was ranked number one, before a playoff started, lost in the 1st or second round of the playoffs, they would not drop out of the final season rankings.

 

Come on be reasonable. I agree, if Ravenwood keeps winning, they will be ahead of Gallatin in a final poll, but that is still a big IF.

how in the world can you have teams on here that arn't even in the playoffs? that's farcical.....i'm never looking at any of your top 10's again

 

Well, that's a good way of handling the matter. All I am asking is for an honest debate and discussion. I can understand if you disagree, but that doesn't mean that another person's opinion is "farcical" or not worth looking at again.

so you guys are saying that whoever loses their bowl games in the NCAA should not be ranked at the end, but any team that wins their bowl game should....just because you lost in the playoffs doesn't mean there are 16 teams better than you....I'm sorry but William Blount is a lot better than 90% of the teams still in the playoffs and they barely squeaked by DB, i still see an 11-1 team being in the top 10 before a 7-4

Here's an example for you to consider, Ravenwood is 7-4, they have defeated 2 of the 3 teams on this "top ten". Their losses were all to playoff teams(Brentwood Aca. in OT, Brentwood in OT, Franklin and Dickson County). Do I think or care if they should be in this guys top ten, could care less. The point is the same that was made to Gallatin fans...Because you have a great record does not necessarily mean you have a great team!!! Riverdale is ranked 2 in this thing due to a loss to a very good team on a fluke hail mary...They have destroyed everyone else they have played. In any poll, they should be ranked #1.

basketballisbest I like your poll I think it looks like it is correct, and dont listen to all those ravenwood fans you can not loss four games and win one big game and espect to be in the top 10.

What fans from Ravenwood are suggesting they should be in this guys top ten?? Ravenwood guy asked how you can keep teams that were beat in the playoffs(on their home fields no less) in this "top ten". You don't stay ranked if you are sitting at home in anyone's "reasonable" poll. So the guy asked a good question. Please subject yourself to the critics by posting your top ten!

So you're telling me that if Brainerd pulled off the miraculous upset which they almost did, that Maryville wouldn't be in a top 10 poll in 4a. That is just ludicrous to say anything like that. Just because you lose in the playoffs doesn't mean you aren't one of the top 10 teams in the state.

And if Ravenwood keeps winning, they may very likely earn the top ten recognition once again. But right now, I don't think they yet deserve it. We'll see how things play out.

this is the dumbest pole I have ever seen. I dont care how you try to justify it.

 

Unfortunately, some people would rather just attack others on here, rather than give reasonable and plausible explanations for their positions. That just simply indicates that they have nothing reasonable and plausible to offer.

 

Oh well. That's okay. The board is for everyone, almost.

    • I really don’t get your point. Yes, Bearden lost two superstars, that can’t be glanced over, but if you still look at their roster, they have star talent almost everywhere. I’m sure Jones was expecting to lose players. I mean, it’s been rumored since the days they both stepped into Bearden, but I mean, they still have star talent everywhere, receiver, linebacker, safety, defensive back, running back, not to mention they have two probably top 20 quarterbacks in 6A battling it out every day for the starting position. And knowing Jones, I’m sure there will be another star talent that lands in Bearden this off-season, which, based on hearing rumors, may already be there. I’m not too sure. But Chaz and Brody will definitely hurt, but I really doubt it will affect Bearden as much as you think. Maybe during the postseason going up against teams like Oakland, but I doubt during the regular season.
    • The ironic thing is that in 13 or 14 they did the same thing to the baseball team and hired a moron to coach them and the kids refuse to play. nobody came out they changed the coach to a competent baseball coach and within 3 years went to win a  state championship.so things do hold water when it comes to these things.
    • Dingleberry needs to educate herself on Clemer’s “resume” and why he has been dismissed at a few previous positions along with his love of milf and cookies before making her final decision on the matter I do believe. He would not coach my son just from the stuff outside of the X’s and O’s. Throw the football inadequacies in the mix and it just adds to the list of reasons also. Just a really bad deal given the list of coaches that applied from across the state and beyond there is no explanation whatsoever other than agendas why he was hired. 
    • Not looking good Captain,not looking good.We had 0 Srs before all this and had a decent amount of Sophmores and 4 or 5 Jrs.Now I heard we have about 14 kids I have not confirmed that and honestly I don't think I will go any further with it.What the community wants and what the faithful supporters along with players and parents it doesn't matter.The Loudon School board made the decision for us and it has killed our program.Folks can say butt hurt whiners whatever they want to but we are a very proud Community and expect the BEST choices to be made from our Administration and that's just not the case.I was at a Basketball game this winter for my grandkids and ran into a former teammate of mine that I actually coached youth league with for a number of years and he told me they were over 100 applications turned in and they hired the best friend of the School board Member who suggested him.He has even reached out to try to help the guy and he refused so here we are going into the fourth season of bad football.GB since 1985 has not had 3 consecutive bad seasons,now we are facing 4 with no help in sight.How are we supposed to get behind such incompetence?Dingle berry says we sound like Democrats lol.Democrats accept all the crazy and weirdness in this world and just roll with it.Im no Democrat.I'm also tired of fighting for something that our say so holds to water.
