Your first statement was the best: “not a doc guy”. The question was for the Mox and the rest of the actual Doc Guys.

Coach Fox will give them HELL, but the NW OL is stellar!

I would ponder to guess that while the current Sup and AD are still CJ, the Big 8 will probable not let them back in. Those two both made sure to insult every Big 8 school they could on the way out and talk about how their demographics and facilities don't fit with the conference. I guess they never thought about what would happen if the the COC would never work out and they would have to cross that bridge again? But there is always hope Nevada did the same thing and later once some changes were made they were able to reapply and get in.

I honestly don’t want to hear or read interviews from cnn or the NYT who go so overboard with the both sides nonsense to try to be “fair” they don’t even mention that one of these people is a convicted felon who tried to overthrow an election. Trump acts like he is anti immigrant and pro life to please his racist loser base. Kamala doesn’t.

Trump wants the rich to control most of the wealth. Kamala wants it to be reasonable.

Trump roots for Putin. Kamala doesn’t.

That’s all you need to know.

I think the Rolla to the Four Rivers Conference will get done. The smoke seems to be in the air with a large and small divisions. Cuba and Salem already applied when Rolla did and were denied as well. Seemed a little too quick for this cycle. Borgia is a free agent now as well. Rumor mill had Washington and Northwest looking to get into the Four Rivers as well. I think something gets done there.

Camdenton seems to be okay with the CMAC move for now. The COC is suppose to allow 2 non-conference games in football, the Lakers got Lebanon and Waynesville back on the schedule things will be fine until they realize they can't compete with the speed of the Columbia schools.

I think Higginsville will be a ' tough out' this year.

Not a doc guy, but unless Northwest has found a better QB, they will likely lose to Minnesota State. Their stud RB also transferred to D1. Northwest's defense will be good and will have to carry them. But without good QB play, I think they are in trouble vs. Minnesota State.

Carthage #2 in C5 followed by Platte County. After that yes a jumble but Fort and Webb have to be in there somewhere.

Still want to see Rock deep into their demanding schedule to make any judgement.

Assuming the numbers say C4 Parkway North should be ranked without a doubt.

Other classes look pretty spot on unless MSHSAA changes the classification breaks. Adrian is borderline C1-2 will contend in the latter be the favorite in the former.

C3-4 watch the very deep MRVC West assuming they don't cancel each other out. Maxwell has been back at HVille for a bit now I'd watch them for sure.

A well oiled machine of a booster club can help alleviate that. Sounds like Willard needs help on AND off the field

I won't track...but at least we can banter, right?

Willard @ Ozark
Carthage @ Waynesville
Neosho @ Glendale
Joplin @ Kickapoo
Webb City @ Lebanon
Republic @ Nixa

I think you confused geography center with political center. Or maybe I wasn’t just 100% clear on that. The west schools don’t really make the calls, especially now.

I know about Trump. She has been hiding in broad daylight.

And after I posted this I see she is doing a CNN interview.

Except they are further away from the center, or what was the center, because you're moving the goal post. Only by adding Lebanon and Waynesville is Springfield the 'center' of the conference. It was not the center of the conference before. Lebanon and especially Waynesville were well outside of the geography of the COC at the time they were added.

Waynesville only fits from the perspective of someone in Springfield because for them at least, it's not any further than places they were already going.

Consider this - the COC adds Pryor, OK and Claremore, OK. If that happened I'm pretty confident the good people in Nixa would be up in arms. They would say those schools don't fit, they are too far away and one of them isn't even good competition. Then Joplin could say sure they fit, they are the same distance from the center of the conference (us), just in a direction that is unfortunate to you.

I know the AP doesn't put out any preseason rankings, as no one knows the classes before the day of the first games (that's still crazy to me btw), but I figured we could attempt something. We have a pretty good understanding of who will be in each class besides maybe the borderline teams.

Class 1:
Marionville
Adrian (if they are Class 1)
No clue otherwise. I do believe Portageville will move up.

Class 2:
1. Lamar
2 - 8. Valle Catholic, Fair Grove, Lafayette County, Adrian, Bowling Green, Father Tolton, South Shelby in some order I'm guessing

Class 3:
1. Blair Oaks
2. Seneca
Not too sure after this. Pius moves up, PHC lost almost entire skill group and good crew of linemen. Any insights?

Class 4
1. Kearney
2. Lutheran North
3. Smithville (just because)
4 - 10. Not sure...Hillsboro or Festus this season? Who else?

Class 5
1. Cardinal Ritter
2. A mess

Class 6
1. Liberty North
2. DeSmet
3. CBC
4. Lee's Summit North
5. Rockhurst
6 - 10. Nixa, Howell, Rock Bridge, a whole bunch of KC schools, a whole bunch of STL schools. Great quality top 15 or so.

Help me out here!
