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 2
1. Lamar---------------------------------------1. Fair Grove
2. Valle Catholic-------------------------------2. Valle Catholic
3. Fair Grove---------------------------------3. Warsaw
4. Bowling Green------------------------------4. Bowling Green
5. Lafayette County---------------------------5. Lafayette County
6. East Buchanan-----------------------------6. Mid-Buchanan
7. Ava-----------------------------------------7. Caruthersville
8. South Shelby-------------------------------8. Brookfield
9. Caruthersville------------------------------9. Mountain View-Liberty
10. Mid Buchanan----------------------------10. Pembroke Hill
Biggest Disappointments - Lamar going from number 1 to NR is the same that happened to Liberty North in class 6. Thats obviously as disappointing as it gets so no real argument for anyone else. Ava was disappointing as well but not to the level of Lamar. Although I will say that Lamar has a chance to make some noise and we will see how they compare in the next couple weeks.
Biggest Surprises - The only correct answer is Warsaw. Maxpreps has them at number 1 and they were NR at the beginning of the season. Really cool to see them have some success and I'm interested to see how they stack up against the other top teams. They already beat the number 5 team on this list so they have proven to be a really good team. Worthy of number 1 or 3? We will see.
