Class 6 First vs. Last media rankings of season

[trumanbulldog42]

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.

1. Lee's Summit North
2. Nixa
3. Blue Springs South
4. CBC
5. Lee's Summit
6. Liberty North
7. DeSmet
8. Liberty
9. Blue Springs
10. Park Hill

The regional delusions disappear with the objective data.

Seckman will most likely get blown out again by Jackson in the district championship. Seckman plays the worst class 6 schedule in the state imo.
