WillieTheWildcats Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Maryville and Alcoa way underrated. Same with Fulton and Knox. Catholic. I am glad Oak Ridge is ranked but polls really don't mean much. All in fun so I appreciate the work that went into this poll and I will follow it has the season rolls along.

Rhea Co. Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Besides the teams already mentioned, the one that gets me is McCallie. They are not a top 5 Maybe top 15 but not a top 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

workinprogress Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Any statewide poll is pretty useless imo. No way any one person or your common group of sports writers can accurately rate high school teams without showing a bias. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fballfan1978 Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 It’ll probably a lot of overreactions and this will change substantially after tonight’s games. Top teams lose one game against another top team and people jump off a cliff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true to an extent but then you got Teams like Maryville, Alcoa, Greeneville that should be top 5 no matter who watches what. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
