How did they drop two slots with just one loss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are a 4A school, I would consider a loss to a 1A school “not good.” Better? It was meant as a comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grunt Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 Polls are a shot in the dark. How many of the sports writers have seen all these teams play? None. Ws & Ls, stats, are all they have to go by. Keep a few grains of salt handy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are y’all better than 7… yes, but to get tied up in polls is useless at this point. It all works itself out in November anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I would bet whoever comes out of the west is 3 or 4 TD’s better than anyone in the east.

jimmycrackedthatcorn Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 I have never fallen into the poll hype. Some teams live or die by them and get caught up in the press. It goes to their heads. Do I think TC is the 2nd best team in the state? No. I think last week knocked us backwards. I am not taking away from gordy. We didn't play well for 4 quarters. Gordy is good but not even close to their champ team from 2012. That team would beat this team like a drum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
