1A & 2A AP Polls

[rlh]

 Mentioned, as in the top 10 or mentioned as in 12 or more points?

Either.  However, they have MTCS, Moore County and Wayne County coming up in a row.  They finish out with Friendship and Forrest. So they have their chance to make a statement or 2.

Most teams have not gotten into the meat of their schedules.  I expect to see some dramatic changes later in the season.

I like TC in the east if they're healthy but wouldn't be surprised if Grace or Marion gives them a run for their money

I agree. They will have an opportunity to make a statement or 2 or 3.

 

Maybe they'll slide to the western side of the playoff bracket and make an even bigger statement!  lol

  There were 18 AP folks involved in the voting, therefore, the 18 first place votes available.

 

They are Tennessee AP-member sportswriters that were selected. I remember they use to give the names of the voters or at least the papers they wrote for...I don't know why they don't release this information anymore.

 

Each first place vote is worth 10 points, second place is worth 9 points and all the way down to one point for a tenth place vote.

 

For Union City not to get all 18 first place votes is one thing, but to have received only 176 total points they were give a second place vote (9 points) AND a fourth place vote (7 points).

 

OR they were given 2 third place votes (8 points each)

 

If I were a betting man, I'd say the 2 writers that gave Greenback and Cloudland their first place votes, each gave Union City their third place votes.

 

If i had a vote, Union City would get my first place vote and I really have no problem with someone from the eastern part of the State giving Greenback a first place vote. But I don't understand Union City receiving a fourth place vote or 2 third place votes.

 

Thanks for the rundown on how that all works.  I'm sure those folks that vote have more important things to do than watch a bunch of games on tape, but you are absolutely right that UC receiving 3rd and 4th place votes is a little fishy.

No problem. I understand they can't watch or view every game in detail, but they need to take a little more pride in their pole they put out there!  Ain't that right Roy!!! lol

Forrest needs to earn their way up the line. No problem with that.

 

Anyone who thinks Fayetteville is more than the one talented kid (32?) raise your hand. *looks around for raised hands*

Anyone that doesn't vote Union City number 1 with every first place vote then NCS number 2 with every second place vote might not be using a full deck. LMBO

I think that the polls shouldn't come out til at least week 5. But then what would us old heads have to get riled up about?

I was afraid this would turn to Roy and Murphy's pole - lol

I totally agree.Whats funny is there will be the best from the West and the best from the East at the end the rest of the numbers dont even matter.I do think NC is the best behind UC but that wont matter because only one team from the West will represent.So funny how people react to a poll.As one said earlier it will change drastically in a few weeks.UC wasnt even in it this time last yr.

What kind of mess is this rlh?  What is this AP poll?  Is that some kind of app you get off one of those durn smart phones?  This mess has nothing to do with football if you are getting it from that app store.  You need to look at Murphys pole.  You think im joking but im not.
