The AP poll comes out on Tuesdays

[Big Country]

Please post it ASAP!!!! I didn't get it until last Thursday of last week and that was off of Murphy Fair's website. It was the first time he'd updated it on his list of polls since like week three I believe.

im kinda baffled at smyrna even being in this poll being ranked 5th in the state (with a first place vote is especially rediculous) when they are currently 5th in their region. i mean im all for our region getting more exposure to the state but it ATLEAST makes a tiny bit of sense to put wilson central (6-0) and lavergne (5-1) in the poll and then think about squeazing smyrna in there.

 

who knows smyrna could be the best in the poll but atleast give other teams the respect with benefit of the doubt, they have earned that so far and smyrna hasnt.

 

really the team at #1 is all i care about /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

based on seeing those. I don't see how Smyrna is getting first place votes... Heck. William Blount might as well be getting them. They have 2 losses and they have the toughest schedule out of the top 10...

truth...and keep in mind when you lose games it improves the opponents record which in turn makes the losing teams schedule ranking go up. im not really making that point to william blount tho as much as i am to smyrna cause they always try to bring that up in debates with riverdale folk about how their schedule is "so much tougher" and things of that nature
