Playoff week 2 updated Class 5 Cal preps predictions

Pretty stadium, but that is not near enough seats (nor parking) for Fort vs. Pius. it needs to be twice this large for what is coming tomorrow night. A lot of coaches and fans in the metro are interested in this game on top of all the students and regular fans of both schools. I think parking will be a major issue. Hope the rain holds off. https://www.homes.com/school/kansas-city-mo/st-pius-x-high-school/v9dtwgsjkzy0k/

Class 3 First vs. Last media rankings of season

Alright, I decided to compare the first released media rankings to the most recent to see who gained/lost the most positions. Who was a disappointment and who was a surprise. The first rankings are on the left and the most recent are on the right.

Class 3
1. Blair Oaks------------------------------------1. Blair Oaks
2. Seneca-------------------------------------2. Seneca
3. Maryville-------------------------------------3. Dexter
4. Lift for Life-----------------------------------4. Borgia
5. Mt. Vernon---------------------------------5. Strafford
6. Park Hills Central---------------------------6. Boonville
7. Southern Boone-----------------------------7. Mt. Vernon
8. Chillicothe-----------------------------------8. John Burroughs
9. Dexter----------------------------------------9. Maryville
10. St. Francis Borgia-------------------------10. Mountain Grove

Biggest Disappointments - This one has to be Lift for Life. Going from 4th to NR doesn't seem like fun to me. I do think they have a change at surprising some people in the playoffs based on a couple of their recent results. Park Hills Central, Southern Boone and Chillicothe also dropped out of the top 10 though I'm not sure those are huge surprises.
Biggest Surprises - Strafford went from NR to 5th and Boonville from NR to 6th. Both teams have had surprisingly good seasons and have a chance at making some noise (well Strafford does, sorry Boonville). Dexter also has to be a bit of a surprise based on rankings. From 9th to 3rd might not be as big of a jump as NR to 5th but there is usually a huge difference between the 3rd best and 9th best teams.

Class 4 First vs. Last media rankings of season

Alright, I decided to compare the first released media rankings to the most recent to see who gained/lost the most positions. Who was a disappointment and who was a surprise. The first rankings are on the left and the most recent are on the right.

Class 4
1. Kearney----------------------------------------1. Lutheran North
2. Lutheran North-------------------------------2. Kearney
3. Smithville-------------------------------------3. Kirksville
4. Hannibal--------------------------------------4. Smithville
5. Hillsboro--------------------------------------5. Hannibal
6. Pleasant Hill----------------------------------6. Warrenton
7. Mexico-----------------------------------------7. Warrensburg
8. Warrensburg----------------------------------8. Pleasant Hill
9. Nevada--------------------------------------9. Nevada
10. Kirksville------------------------------------10. Savannah

Biggest Disappointments - For this one I guess it has to be Hillsboro or Mexico because they are the only ones that fell out of the top 10. Its surprising to me that as weak as we think class 4 is, only two teams changed. Hillsboro going from top 5 to NR has to be a huge disappointment overall.
Biggest Surprises - I'd say this one is easily Kirksville for a couple of reasons. They went from being ranked 10th to 3rd then lost in first round. Surprising all the way around.

Class 5 First vs. Last media rankings of season

Alright, I decided to compare the first released media rankings to the most recent to see who gained/lost the most positions. Who was a disappointment and who was a surprise. The first rankings are on the left and the most recent are on the right.

Class 5
1. Cardinal Ritter------------------------------------1. Cardinal Ritter
T2. Platte County----------------------------------2. Platte County
T2. Webb City------------------------------------3. St. Pius X
4. Jefferson City Helias---------------------------4. Helias
5. St. Pius X----------------------------------------5. Eureka
6. Carthage--------------------------------------6. Carthage
7. Camdenton,------------------------------------7. Branson
8. Capital City--------------------------------------8. Cape Central
T9. Eureka------------------------------------------9. Ft. Zumwalt North
T9. Grain Valley-----------------------------------10. Hazelwood East

Biggest Disappointments - The obvious answer is Webb City. I'm not sure if the writing was on the wall in the preseason but I would imagine very few could have predicted the season that Webb was about to have. Camdenton and Cap City also fell out of the top ten. Camdenton probably got a decent amount of votes because of reputation and I would say they are a fringe top 15 team at this point. Capital City probably still has a chance to prove themselves to be a top 10 team. Time will tell.
Biggest Surprises - I guess this one has to be Branson but I think the jury is still out about how legit they actually are. Again, just like with class 6, the bottom half of the top ten is very different than the first rankings but that will probably be the case for each class.

Why didn't the Dems steal this election too?

Crack down on Mail in Ballots and Harvesting is a possibility. Maybe that explains the 14 million more votes that Biden got in 2020 and Kamala didn't get in 2024.... just a theory. But strange that Biden raked in 81 million votes and Kamala only got 67 million. Trump got 74 million votes in 2020 and 72 million this go around. Lot of people must of decided to set this one out for REASONS???

Dude. Not everything is a conspiracy. Few people were jazzed about Kamala.

Class 6 First vs. Last media rankings of season

Alright, I decided to compare the first released media rankings to the most recent to see who gained/lost the most positions. Who was a disappointment and who was a surprise. The first rankings are on the left and the most recent are on the right.

Class 6
1. Liberty North---------------------------1. CBC
2. CBC------------------------------------2. Nixa
3. Rockhurst-----------------------------3. Lee's summit North
4. DeSmet--------------------------------4. Blue Springs South
5. Lee’s Summit North------------------5. De Smet
6. Nixa----------------------------------6. Seckman
7. Marquette-----------------------------7. Lee's Summit
8. Blue Springs South------------------8. Rock Bridge
9. Oak Park------------------------------9. Park Hill
10. Joplin------------------------------10. Troy Buchanan

Biggest disappointments - Liberty North ranked number 1 and falling completely out is obviously the biggest one here. Rockhurst, Marquette, Oak Park, and Joplin were also ranked in the beginning but not the end. Overall only half of the week 1 ranked teams ended up ranked at the end.
Biggest surprises - I'd say the biggest mover/surprise in the rankings would be Seckman going from NR to 6th. The bottom half is full of teams that weren't ranked in the beginning but I would imagine that is pretty common.

Maybe

Eight reasons to start...
1. She was not likable.
2. She was installed and did not go through a primary process.
3. When she spoke, people got even more turned off.
4. She has played the role of leftist but then had to backtrack on policies that Americans don't like.
5. She came off as not authentic and hid from interviews.
6. Her history as Willie Brown's sugar baby and her no-show jobs that she was given throughout her career.
7. The horrible inflation of the past four years. The horrible border policy of the past four years.
8. People see the DNC as an elite out of touch cabal of DC goons now. Not working in the interests of the people.

This is surprisingly accurate. Trump is the fakest faker of all fakers, but he at least comes off to people in his moments of angry rhetoric as authentic. Hillary didn't and neither did Kamala.

Maybe

And in the era she graduated from Law schools, paper mills and such where in full swing.. add in her race and gender one might wonder how legit her degree is.

Because she comes across as less than intelligent. I mean Hillary Clinton, Geraldine Ferraro came across as intelligent and educated. Might of hated their Left wing agenda but they didn't seem stupid.

I've been around Strippers and Beauticians who seem more intellectually savvy than Kamala. Maybe she is smart but massively socially awkward. But when she opens her mouth and rambles and cackles she appears to be a ditzy type of female.

This is not even worthy of being considered rational.
