Thanks to BDF36 for making this thread.

And I can't believe Jo Byrns and Gordonsville aren't in Top 10.

With all the returning players JB has I would have figured them at #2.

Polls don't mean anything this time of year.

The Poll looks o.k. to me. As long as it stays that way past Cookeville.

Do they ever mean anything in high school ball?

Not against the top 10 for now as I'm sure they all won their games.But did notice that Union city received votes in taking a beating against Obion Central in a game that could have been a lot worse while Lake Co loses to a school by a 12-7 sore.I'm sur ehad Lake Co won that game 12-7 would have been in ther top 10.What I'm saying is the voters need to know more about voting.If a team is a preseason top 10 team like number 7 and lose to a bigger school by just 5 points in a game they should have won,may could see dropping 3 or 4 spots.Huntingdon is ranked # 4 and are a very good team.They are # 4 this week and deseveredly so.If they were to lose to someone liek McKenzie,maybe could see a drop of 1 or 2 spots at the most.Now if they lost to a smaller unranked opponent ,could see a drop of 5 or 6 spots.Like most say.the polls don't mean anything but I can promise that the kids have something to feel good about when they are acknwledged as one of the top teams.Seems like the voters dodn't have a clue.

If they didn't get anyone else right I think they nailed #1.

Sure they do. Bulletin Board Material! Coalfield and Lake County have the most to make of it this week. SP has a bounty on them. They also serve to potentially inflate the heads of teams.

 

Edit: As far as any direct meaning, no, not since the playoffs. They may effect seeding of wildcard teams.

Coalfield may deserve to be in the top 10.I'm surprised that Jo Byrns isn't at #2.I didn't think Wayne Co looked as good as Huntingdon but was a scrimmage basically so we'll see.Not sure if Lake Co is a top 10 team.All I'm saying is if Lake Co was considered to be a preseason #6 or 7 team as was Union City,what was more impressive.Lake Co losing to what is considered to be one of the stronger and a 2A team in Kentucky or losing to Obion central like Union City did in a game that could have been much worse.At least know what's going on for those that are voting.Lake Co is playing Fulton Co this week.If I'm voting ,wouldn't judge them or rank them higher on this game.Sometimes a team should be ranked or at least not drop more than a spot or two if it's a loss to a very good team,especially if it's a close game.That's more impressive than beating a Fulton Co or Fulton City 50-0.But to drop Lake Co after losing 12-7 to Murray Ky who went 12-1 last year.Again..learn a little about football and voting.If South Pittsburg were to play Alcoa and lose 17-7 would the voters drop them from the rankings completely.I know Murray may not be an Alcoa but lets say if they lost to Jo Byrns,PC or Wayne Co.At most maybe drop a coupel spots or 3 at the most.Not 15 spots and not even receive any votes.Not saying Lake co is a top 10.The teams listed are probably all deserving.Just can't see UC receiving votes in a blowout and Lake Co drop off the earth.Writers need to learn a little at least.
