Odd how they arrive at some of the rankings. Baylor and Father Ryan have the same amount of losses....but Baylor beats Father Ryan and FR is ranked way ahead of them? Also Baylor beat Brentwood Academy by a large amount....and they the same thing. Just a real curious thing.

I completely agree.. Almost makes you think some folks are calling in favors.

Riverdale boys got 13 votes? /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

I just read that as well Riverdale's overall record is 5-16 according to Coach T's win loss rankings. I guess when you beat Oakland you get votes. /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

It sure seems that way. Either the voters don't have a clue or they are voting for their area teams maybe? Clueless!

I guess that rule doesnt apply to Lebanon or Siegel. Who knew Burks had the sportswriters in his back pocket?

AP polls do not mean anything. Why does everyone get so mad about them. They mean absolutely nothing. Just look at them, and think how you just wasted ten minutes of your time on something irrelevant.

Obviously your team did not place as high as you would have liked. Sour grapes.

I don't think it is that at all. These rankings mean nothing because the people deciding have no clue about the talent across the state. Most of these teams don't play each other or even similar opponents for that matter. Every year it is the same story, the top ranked teams fade away in the tournament. Some of the teams have great records but play nobody and vice-versa. Just keep playing ball and let the tournament decide the outcome of the season not the polls.
