West TN Rural Top 10 Week 9

Looks good to me. Watched Westview and the Stangs play Friday night. Westview definitely looking much improved. There Offense looked good.

Dresden on the outside.  I guess that fits after they got throttled by the rebels.  They need to practice and quit playing with the hogs up at the farm!!!!  Hmmm    Bahahahaha

Just a thought/question about strength of schedule.  Let’s say hypothetically you schedule a very talented team like idk Haywood and you go out and give your best but fall short say …… 48-0. Also you have a good team like UC on your schedule but again despite your best effort you lose by say ….. oh 48 (62-14). Should you really get much credit for that SOS when in those games that give you the “#1” SOS you absolutely stink and have no chance to win?  Just asking for a friend.

Lake co definately gets respect playing haywood, uc, even obion this year.  If lake is injury free i believe those games will help them in the playoffs.  I wouldn't recommend any 1a team scheduling haywood.  Brutal size and talent.  Haven't kept up with Lake co injuries.... anything serious ?  Depth always hurts small schools

I’d like an opinion from anyone besides delusional Dresden fans please.

I see what you are saying. The UC game was a complete debacle. If the two played again it would be a better game. By no means am I saying LC would win that game. No 1A or 2A team team would compete with Haywood County this year. They are just that good. LC is getting better every week. The SOS just means LC is playing really good teams. If let's say McKenzie played Haywood or Union City and lost big in my eyes it would not diminish them at all. Just means that they are willing to play really good teams.

About right for me.  However….Dresden is a good football team. No one needs to overlook them.

^^^ that’s good! I didn’t know CoachT had this tool. I’ll be looking at this more. .. but teams still gotta line up 11 on 11 and go at it. That’s why football, esp. HS & younger, is so awesome to me, anything can happen, and DOES.  I LUV when underdogs win too.. except when they beat our Dresden Lions. Ouch when that happens!

I look at it like this. Who not listed in the poll do you think could beat them?  If they were ahead of LC in the poll I would make them the favorite against LC at this point in the season.
