I'm just waiting for all the Cleveland people to start whining about how Big Bad Baylor is ranked ahead of them. :lol: Cleveland works so much harder than everyone else so they should obviously be ranked #1, right?

I guess we didn't get this out of our systems on the last poll so lets talk about it on this poll too, so it can be 8 pages long of more of the same.

Think Mccallie and Lakeway should be top 10. 

Lakeway might be there but look at their dual schedule last year with TN teams, it was and always has been virtually non-existent.  Really hard to get a feel for where they are with respect to the entire state.  Personally I've never understood why they seem to wrestle so little.  Perhaps their inability to put together a full squad has played a role, don't know.

I agree with you.

I'm surprised the coaches don't have Soddy Daisy in their top 12.  If I were ranking the Top 12 regardless of division I would have it...

1. Cleveland or Baylor (depending on the day)

2. Baylor or Cleveland (depending on the day)

3. Father Ryan

4. Summit

5. Halls

6. Soddy Daisy

7. Blackman

8. CBHS

9. DB

10. Brentwood

11. Nolensville

12. Lakeway

 

Divisionally, Cleveland, Baylor, and Soddy seem head and shoulders above everyone else.

    • 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.
