A "Nerd's" look at Top 10 3A

[sportsnerd]

Don't go ballistic, but this is my view based on level of competition, how they handled tougher opponents, how they handled common opponents. It is hard to do with some teams, like Manassas and Upperman for example, but this is just IMO. Note there are 6 current 4 seeds or better not listed. Give me your opinion why I am wrong based on some rational reasoning, not just defending your team.

This is a Nerds thread.

1. CPA

2. Alcoa

3. Lewis Co.

4. Westview

5. Lipscomb

6. East Lit

7. Upperman

8. Fairview

9. Manassas

10. (tied) Polk Co. and Notre Dame

Lewis Co at #3 is a joke...

why do you say that! If you saying that because of the Lorreto game you must know that was the first game of the yr, they was completely healthy and you know we have gotten better every week like any good team does! The last time I checked Fairview, East Hickman are pretty good teams. Hickman is good also but they did lose their best player 2 weeks ago and Camden beat Huntingdon pretty bad. 5 out of the 8 teams we have played will make the playoffs also in my opinion Fairview is a top 5 team!

Nice topic!

 

Fairview is better than 8th by quite a bit in my opinion but I'm what you might call a homer.

 

What would convince you to place teams like, Westview, East Magnet, and Upperman above them? Just curious.

Fairview was definitely better than 8th and I think Alcoa shouldn't be in that # 2 based on them Loosing a Game.

They lost to Maryville...... anybody in this top ten would be mercy ruled by Maryville

Give me your opinion why CPA is ahead of Alcoa based on some rational reasoning, not just defending your team. This ought to be interesting!

[twistedsister]

Why should they not?

because they should be in with ensworth,father ryan,mba,and all the rest of the privates but they love all the recruiting and beating up on public schools.its worse than our government.

CPA football does things the right way. I'm not a CPA fan but I'm aware of their team. Martin is a class act and handles his team the right way. All the CPA recruiting junk is because of the basketball team.

I think CPA should be ranked second behind Alcoa. CPA's closest game was to Brentwood who would get blown out by maryviile. Can't knock Alcoa for that loss.

Polk Co beat Notre Dame on the field.

Yes, I saw that, by 2 points. Actually wanted to go Polk #10, ND #11, but only wanted 10 and common opponent East Ridge offset the loss by 2 of ND to Polk. They seem pretty evenly matched. It was hard to pick one and not the other.

I agree, but the fact is many of the teams with good records have played weak schedules. At least Lewis Co. has beaten some pretty good teams. I based on #3 on their success and SOS.
