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.
