mnewballer21 Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 yeah i was just making sure, because there is no way that soddy daisy should be ranked 35 in a poll or ooltewah 50 in one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opperman Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 dont those ratings go by how teams did last year too tho, so that isn't exactly true for how teams are this year...well except riverdale of course they are #1 825368088[/snapback] We're deep enough into the season that those effects are minimal, if any.

basketballisbest Posted October 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 I think last year's record is still influencing those polls. People who know football, realize that some of these teams have had great freshman teams for several years and that is why they are suddenly rising to the top. For example, the DII teams are struggling a little more this year and these polls continue to give them too much credence. At the same time, as mnewballer suggested, teams like Ooltewah, Soddy, Franklin and others are not yet getting the respect they should get in the polls. Wins/losses against strength of schedule can't be figured in yet, because a region like 2-5A hasn't yet had its top teams playing each other. That doesn't start until the week after this one. I would love to see Riverdale and Dobyns Bennett play any of the DII schools that get so much press. I think both of these schools and probably Maryville would all beat the DII schools this year.

Redtwin Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 (edited) All of these people try and argue that DII is down, how so. Who has beaten anyone in DII (other than Ryan) besides a DII team. McCallie, who is probably the best team in Chattanooga after beating Tyner and Central, lost to MBA, one of the best teams in Nashville. Does that make McCallie a down team. CBHS beats strong DI teams in East, Whitehaven and Germantown, but then loses to DII Briarcrest. Does that make them Down? MBA, riddled with injuries, loses the opener to a very tough Trinity team, but since then is undefeated and yet to be beaten by a team from TN. How can you say that they are down. BA beats Oakland and Centennial before losing to two DII teams. No one can argue that DII is down. There is parity in DII this year, something that has not happened in recent years, not a lower level of play.

mrebel171113 Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 1. Maryville-4A-(7-0) Too strong for anyone except maybe Riverdale. Best coaching staff in the state. Cade Thompson, QB, has only lost 2 games in 4 years at QB! Coach Quarles has only lost 7 or 8 and won 70 in 8 years at Maryville. Riverdale is probably the only team in the state that can stop us this year. 2. Riverdale-5A-(7-0) Too strong for everyone else besides Maryville. Great coaching and athletes. Unless a miracle, they will bring home the gold in 5A. 3. Kingsport DB-5A-(6-0) Don't know much about them except they are good every year and are deff. good this year. 4. Melrose-4A-(6-0) Great Athletes. Fans say they would kill Maryville. If they are good enough to make it to the boro, they will see just how wrong they were. 5. Oak Ridge-5A-(5-1) Very good team. Only loss to DB. Great Coaching. 6. Ootelwah-5A-(6-0) 7. Franklin-5A-(6-0) 8. Tennessee-4A-(6-0) 9. Soddy Daisy-5A-(6-0) 10. Hillwood-4A-(6-0) 11. Haywood-4A-(6-0) 12. Antioch-5A-(5-1) 13.

NoDoubt Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 where is white house they are 6-0 825367758[/snapback] How would Greenbrier be ranked 2nd in the state in 3A, 10th in the mid-state overall, with only one loss to White House, and not be listed?

When this many good teams are left off the poll, it seems to be a matter of opinion rather than statitstics. If someone can "mention" a team and be added, that doesn't hold much weight in my book---but then that's MY opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
