My only issue(s) with the rankings is SGC being 4 spots behind USJ. This is just crazy to me. I know it has been a few season since USJ played Lausanne, but Lausanne smoked the Bruins.... 

 

Second, Peabody drops all the way to 8?

I think someone could make a case for Peabody to be higher especially since they beat Westview earlier in the season. But Westview has some good wins since then, namely over Huntingdung, who just smoked Peabody. I can say this with confidence. Peabody doesn’t beat any of the top 3. They can play with 4-7 and can beat them but in my opinion I would have to say 4-7 would be favored. Just my two cents. But hey this is what I do this poll for. To spark conversation about our area teams.

Gleason should be considered. 5-4 smallest public school in state with team. Show some love

I have several relatives in Tater Town. I am very happy for the season they are having. I hope they beat South Fulton and make the playoffs. Just don’t see them being able to beat any of the teams on this list. Just my opinion.

Lausanne is a nice win for you guys but they are NOTHING compared to what those teams with Eric Gray were. Those Lausanne teams had a co-op agreement with a Memphis city school and had a 600+ student body to pull players from plus their own school. They were arguably a top 5-10 team in the state for a couple years. This year they're a middle of the pack DII-AA and will get blown out by CPA/LA in the playoffs. It's a good win for you guys but be realistic.

Really though once you get past the top 3 it wouldn't surprise me much if any of those teams beat another on any given night, more about the particular matchup.

Fair, Just looking at the past several years all I see is wins, after wins, after wins. They truly have a great program.

Those Lausanne teams  from 3-5 years ago were so loaded.  Lausanne has only been relevant in football for about 6 -7years. When USJ/Lausanne played 5 years ago I bet 20+ players on both teams ended up playing some college ball.  We have not played Lausanne in 3 years.  Using this logic we could question why we are behind McKenzie when we beat them last year.  Just like any poll it is good for debate.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
