actually , i voted late monday morning but still voted greeneville number one. it was their first in state loss , a lot of things went into the 29 point defeat that the average voter across the state might not have had access to. but you are right , many vote early , or some don't do their homework before they vote , because the "how they fared" listing that comes out over the weekend does not include the saturday games , such as greeneville-science hill and austin east-fulton which were both played on saturday. I am glad we have a playoff system in place which takes care of all that. Have a great day man.

I dont mean to be disrespectful, but how can Greeneville still be number 1 on your ballot after losing by 29! I could understand if it was by a few points or so, but a team of that caliber or supposed caliber doesnt have lopsided loses like that, and even then how can you justify keeping them at the top spot when pretty much everyone else in the top 10 won this past week?

no offense taken , and by the way i did vote oakland second. it was greenevilles first in state loss and knowing the situation as i do , i felt ok in the number one vote still. like i said , i am glad we don't have to rely on the media to vote #1 in the state , and have a playoff system that takes care of it for us. good luck oakland , hope to see you at the state....

Is R-E calling Oakland out? Well then..why dont they just come on up and play a game? Then everyone can stop cryin about who needs to be number 1. I guess we will have to wait till they come to MTSU. Oh heck...thats Oaklands back yard. Everyone stop being little homos and we'll take it out back...if R-E comes to play. Same goes with Greeneville.

Challenger..do you vote for Single A,Double A,etc..I am just curious..and this is to all the voters...Temple was ranked #2 in the State last week and lost to Pickett Co ,a team that wasn't ranked at the time by 10 points..Temple didn't fall a spot at all..Lake Co was ranked #3 and lost to the #1 team in the State by only 2 points.and dropped a spot..Lost by fewer points and to a higher ranked opponent ..Do the voters as far as you know even look at the schedules in West Tenn or do you just go by the record..see that they lost and drop them?Or I guess there's more papers in Middle and East Tenn..so they keep their teams up there..I'm not writing because Lake Co is ranked #4 and because I think should be higher..I've seen some games that even I wouldn't have them in the top 10..I'm just saying that you have two teams..one lost to a higher ranked team by fewer points and dropped while the other team didn't..I'm not saying Temple isn't the #2 team in the State and that Grace isn't the #3 team in the state..Just wondering what the criteria is...

Oakland hasn't lost one in-state game and Only other was to the best team in Alabama sooooooooo.

 

Oakland is a Joke and everyone will see that. R.E. is Number one. That AP garbage is so political. You will not hear about Oakland, Pigeon Forge, Science Hill or Greenville after Tourney time. These teams are so overrated.

Pray tell how Greeneville lost (by a lot), #2 Raleigh Egypt continues to win and all of a sudden Oakland jumps from #3 to number 1. This is EXACTLY why you AP pollsters get no respect for your opinions. It just infuriates me that you would keep choosing to screw over a bunch of very deserving kids. It will all come out in the wash but you guys just need to know how pathetic this looks!

 

 

The Oakland kids must just not be as deserving.

You know OF COURSE that the strength of schedule list on here is a bunch of hooey! They don't factor in teams that are from out of state in the standings of strength. Ral-Egypt has played AND DEFEATED FIVE OUT OF SIX TEAMS WITH NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED PROGRAMS AND PLAYED THE #5 TEAM in the nation, SO. MEDFORD DOWN TO THE WIRE BEFORE TWO STARTERS FOULED OUT. Just take a look at each teams schedule on here and tell me with a straight face that Greeneville, Oakland or a half dozen others teams you've ranked so high actually plays as TOUGH a schedule.

 

 

National rankings are even more of a joke than these same state rankings you are complaining about. Bottom line, Oakland has lost zero games in the state, and RE has lost 1. From someone who hasn't seen either team play, who would you pick? I am not saying that OHS would beat RE, RE might really be the best team in the state.....but so could OHS.

How many times have you watched Oakland play this year? Do they still play the city champhionship in Memphis? If so, what day will that be played?

    • I’m a middle tn guy so I understand the transferring etc and it don’t bother me. I’ve seen at least 8-10 guys transfer into AC recently. Some with stars and some without. My question is does AC have a nil thing going? Is Anderson county growing? Is this a you build it and they will come thing? Somebody help me out with the East TN thing. 
    • I think you’re referring to Corbin. That year Corbin went 14-2, losing the state championship to Boyle County. I believe Boyle County has been nationally ranked a few times so obviously they’re no trashy team. Corbin doesn’t sound like a bad football team to me, especially being how Boyle County is 12 time state champions and usually barely knocks Corbin out. That year tho I think Boyle beat them by a few but still a state appearance. I also think that Alcoa game went to OT but I’m not quite for sure. Alcoa is a legit program, just take a couple years ago for example, the 32nd best ranked team in New York came down to Alcoa (not quite sure what they were thinking) and got absolutely pummeled 44-6. Alcoa has beat good teams, they’re not playing nobodies. 
    • You haven seen much football if the Blackman vs Bowling Green game u speak of is the worst officiated game you have ever seen.  Everyone on here swears Blackman was cheated, but i just can not agree.  Rewatched it on youtube, and there are a couple Blackman fans near the camera that out to be ashamed of the crap that came out of there mouths.  I dont know much about Blackman, but i didnt get a very good impression of them having much class by there entrance to the field, and instead of running on to there sideline running to the other teams sideline to cut them off when they went to run to there sideline.  Then before much is even happened in the game fans near the camera swearing they are being cheated.  Seemed like a fairly good called game till Blackman started losing there composure.  Embarassing hearing the blacmn fans making fun of someone on the other team possibly getting hurt, and calling players on the other team a dumbass.  The reason they lost thatgame was because they gave that necarious fant kid a 5 yard cushion over, and over, and over, and everytime he would catch it and get another 7 after the catch.  3rd or 4th and 1 lets give the best player on the other team a 5 yard cusion, and let him catch it when we need a stop even though he has gotten 12 yards on that play repeatedly.  Then the last touchdown on 4th down was a completly different play, but great throw, and great route and catch by fant for the last td they did not defend it very well, and it would have been a blackman win if they make that 4th, and long stop, but they didnt cover the best player on the field very well, and he caught it with the closest player 3 yards away from him.  Just give Bowling Green credit for making the plays to win.  We look stupid constantly saying they got cheated.  They straight up got beat, but no shame,bowling Green had a heck of a team.  People just dont want to give any credit to the other team when they are beat especially when its out of state.  Ive talked alot of crap to fans of kentucky teams, but we get ridicilous too often on here.  I remember the Union City fans saying how they would run it down the other teams throat playing a kentucky team.  They claimed we will run it up the middle all night, and those early 3 yard gains will turn into 12 yard gains by the 4th quarter cause thats how we always wear other teams down, and always win.  They proceded to get there #### whooped 2 years in a row then dropped that team from there schedule, and i have to give those kentucky fans credit they called it before the first year they played.  They said we will beat Union City these 2 years, and they will not renew because Union City has done this in the past before.  Went to one of those games, and the other team ran defensive lineman in every few plays, and by the 4th quarter it was union city that was wore out, and there rushing game failed late.  Instead of giving the other team credit for stopping there run game late they cried that we was gassed after bragging that we always gas the other team out by the 4th they couldnt handle that another team smartly threw fresh bodies in most of the night, and kept there starters much fresher for late in the game.  They basically put backups in on half the plays, and settled with giving up alot of yards to keep the 1s fresh for the 4th.  Instead of giving them credit the excuses came well we where gassed if we would have played later in the season we would have won its hot, and early in the year, so thats why we lost its all just excuses.  It aint like there is a rule that says UC couldnt rotate some in on there oline, and rotate a couple running backs so there starters would b fresh for the end.  They got beat because the other team smartly used depth, plus they couldnt stop the other teams offense.  We cant give credit to the other team when we lose we must find an excuse mentality espececially if its an out of state team there is no way anyone from another state in paticular kentucky can be as good or better than us.  After just watching that Blackman game they just straight up got beat.
    • What’s sad Barney is the cards in the deck are stacked against them.  With the success the MAVS are having just down I-75, any talented players are heading that way. I always said what the Price twins did there was second to none, making the playoffs and winning a playoff game is the ceiling there. On a great year, maybe a q-final appearance but that is a big stretch.  Finding a coach there is very tough. I feel for the new coach, he’s in a very bad situation and I’m not sure he even realizes it. I understand he wants to be positive and have hope, but I don’t see them scratching a win. Maybe he will prove me wrong.  
    • I agree, 2A is the only class in thet state where the west side of the bracket is tougher, not taking anything away from Marion county at all but they should run that side for years to come
