If you only get 5 out of 10 right, wouldn't a coin toss be just as accurate?

 

Polls are nice, I guess, (if you're included). Might give you something to work for. But I think these numbers and TN vs Vandy prove that polls and rankings are almost useless.

Wouldn't it be 5 out of 180. Or ever how many high school teams there are to start the season in the mid state. I would agree that Gallatin was a major disappointment. But one of the others in the pre season not in the final is still alive - Wilson Central. Three just lost in the region semi's - Franklin, Centennial and Station Camp. And Ensworth's best player was injured late in football and never played a minute of basketball. So while I agree polls don't mean much this one wasn't that far off.

I guess no one has seen White county play defense lately and as there offense goes fare as a team don't no for sure but i would say the best 3 point shooting team in the state,what player you ask ALL OF THEM can light it up polls don't mean much teams have good games and a few bad ones it's the team that doesn't get that cornbread hung in there throat that wins state. Look at Maryville last year no way 10 people in the state thought they would win it last year and no they were not the best team in the state but come tournament time they didn't get tore up stayed cool got em a gold ball brains can win this game as much as talent can lets bring it back to middle tn. where it belongs guys
