ObserverW Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Ok, listen I'm not saying Cleveland isn't/wasn't good last year. They might have very well been one of the top 4 or 5 teams if they were in another region and had the opportunity to go last season. The statement "earn your ranking" was posed and that's where the discussion about Cleveland started. I'm a huge Cleveland supporter, they are a top notch team, but last year they did not "earn" a top 3 dual team ranking. Mr. Price also pointed out that individual tournament results did not equal dual strength. So we can't really extrapolate their top 4 individual tourny place to a top 4 dual placement. Facts are facts, if you don't get a ticket to the ball, you cannot be named King or Queen. Last year, Cleveland didn't have a dual tourny ticket. So, cbwrestler, I would advise you to stop. I really hope Cleveland gets their chance to attend the ball this season. For the record I have not complained about Clevelands ranking in the poll. I'm not really sure how the convo got steered into a Cleveland discussion. My original point is the poll needs to be dissected and discussed. Clevelands placement this season is, in my opinion, accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObserverW Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Wow ArtusCimber, I had to look that word up. Now I'm hurt. What did I say that hurt your feelings? I haven't said anything about your Jefferson County or Science Hill teams yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacoach Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 ObserverW, I have read your arguments, some valid some in my opinion not valid but one thing I have yet to see would be your list. You basically are claiming to be smarter, do better research or homework, and have a better pulse of TN High School wrestling than the voters...so don't stop! Put out your list!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObserverW Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 I must apologize, I was confused. I thought this was a discussion board, turns out many of you guys would rather it be an agreement board. Its hard for me to believe some of you guys are even involved in wrestling. It seems like your feelings are hurt much too easily. I've already voiced my opinion on where several of the teams should or should not be ranked. Do you really want me to put out a full list? Imagine how many more feelings will be hurt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacoach Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Don't apologize. It is a discussion board. You simply have argued and been critical of the list and the voters...so put out your list. Go ahead and hurt feelings...I think your way too defensive of your opinions. I simply would like to see your list...so please do your research and give us your list. It will be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObserverW Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Now my feelings are hurt. No one is coming to my defense. It's ok, I stand by the Arlington pick, they're not full strength yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rankings are subjective and are the writers opinion. You put Arlington up there, I would not put Arlington up there. It doesn't make either right, or wrong, it makes them yours. The coaches poll is all opinion just like your top ten is your opinion. However, I'd venture to say NO team is at full strength yet.
