"Grad's Greatest"

[cooterhooter]

I like the Marcus Williams pick better than any. He may not have had the numbers Caldwell had but he had some big run last Friday night.

[InDepthInsider]

Yeah I was glad to see the Williams kid run the ball well. I hate to see that he had kind of got lost in the shuffle of backs their awhile back. Because if I remember right the kid had a spectacular year feeling in for Foster when he was hurt 2 years ago. Last year he just seemed to get lost in the mix, as well as this year until last week. I hope he continues to get more carries.

Here are the Massey computer rankings for all the teams that could be considered Southeast Tennessee or Chattanooga television/newspaper coverage area. Computers can lie but it seems pretty close to what most everybody is putting in here. There is an awful lot of data on the site but if I read it right his computer was 88 percent right in picking games last week so maybe there is something to it. It seems to put in an awful lot of different variables. The number after the team is ranking statewide. I think Central is a little low but they have two losses and the team they beat, Warren, ranked like 250 so all the computer can do is add things up.

 

 

1-McCallie (30)

2-Baylor (31)

3-Soddy-Daisy (45)

4-Rhea County (50)

5-Ooltewah (52)

out of 322 total teams, but it included a few jv squads for some reason. #1 in all divisions is Christian Brothers. I think MBA was second and Riverdale third.

I think he will as defenses tend to focus more on Caldwell and key on him.

[GradfromtheNest]

Wow! Good info! And it's close to what we all have! Except Baylor!

[mnewballer21]

this last week i say yeah give to braswell, but the week before i think caldwell should have won hands down oh well if it was a coinflip both weeks then why did you give it to the same guy both times, you should have split it

[reaction]

I think it's Ooltewah's 3rd to last game...It might go Soddy, then Oak Ridge, then Farragut...but I'm not sure.  Check out the CoachT team page for the schedule!

but if he flipped the coin 2 weeks in a row and the same guy won both times y split it?

[stayNskool]

I dont know... those rankings seem scued slightly towards Division II with McCallie and Baylor being rated so highly... I guess theyre right though and the only rankings that matter come at the end of the season...

[Golden Eagle]

Grad I like your top ten....Its right on the money with Rhea being the only exception,but it is your poll..and you list them how you see fit...Good job though I really think you got it right...Better than most people in chattown! thumb

[GradfromtheNest]

Thanks Golden Eagle. Quick question...do I know you personally? Don't tell me who you are, but yes or no!

[thorough97]

Grad, you probably don't know GoldenEagle, but you may have heard of and from him.
