So if you grade the poll by the percentage of teams that are either in the quarterfinals or were beaten by teams in the quarterfinals, you get

 

1A - 70%

2A - 80%

3A - 70%

4A - 70%

5A - 60%

 

Not bad except for 5A, and not bad overall since only two completely unranked teams (Henry County and Ravenwood) have made it this far.

 

Also, it will be interesting to see how the teams that have beaten 2 ranked teams so far (Goodpasture, Fulton, and Henry County) do from here on.
