This is my opinion on the poll; being baffled as to what i consider to be a snub to Gordonsville sitting at #5, i dug a little deeper as to who votes for this AP poll. Surprise, it's the media departments of various papers across the state. Therefore, there is extreme prejudice and regional bias among the voters (who most likely are the interns at each paper since the actual staff are too busy with covering daily sports news stories, or busy stealing stories from bigger news syndicates.)

I would go even further and say that by the time most voters get around to putting pen to paper in the 1A category; they are the least concerned about accuracy and authenticity than they are with the more important "Classes" and simply "mail it in" according to record or previous tradition.

I'm not going to sit here and argue about whether Gordonsville deserves the number 1 spot or not but if anyone actually looks at body of work to determine position then explain to me how a team that lost to their biggest rival Smith Co. (Who will no doubt end as a top 10 or top 5 team in 3A) by 1 pt. Then beat defending 2A Champ Friendship Christian (who is a legit contender again this yr), then followed that up by beating another 2A opponent in Trousdale (who by the way has 9 gold balls and has been an achilles heel to them. Besides that both FCS and TC are and will finish in the top 10 in 2A) , be a #5 team in 1A ?

Not to mention the senior laden team, who will be playing predominantly 2nd and 3rd stringers the rest of the regular season.

If they want to go strictly by record then why stop where they did, move Gordonsville out of the top 10 and put Coalfield, Moore Co, Copper Basin and any other team without a loss ahead of them.

Just these few things let me know that most voters haven't seen Gordonsville play and to me makes their opinion and this poll a joke.

It'll probably be good motivation for the Tigers to be completely overlooked and disrespected by lazy or "homer" voters.

Bring on the playoffs, then the polls won't matter.

Hahaha get out of my head! ( thinking the same thing)

Anywhere I can watch some videos of Gordonsville this season I am off Wed. & will tell you what I think. I just dont see them being ahead of South Pittsburg no disrespect at all, but they are the team to beat in 1A every year. I want to see how they play.

 

Also that was a long list to read I read it, but it wasnt anything we didnt already know, reporters are all biast even Kermit DeeFrog is a biast reporter lol. BCS Polls are biased. That's why the only thing that matters as me and many others have said is only care about the last poll.
