Just like MV did last year right?
Last Media Rankings of the Season...
- Thread starter Mitsurugi san
- Start date
Look at the head to head.. It wasnt close, this year..13-8 Not every year will be like this but the east was better overall. I agree Cassville and Lamar are at the top but then Most of the east would be next. As far as your matchups..Dont see how you can say Mc County beats Hollister since they DID play and Hollister got the win. You would be right most of the time about Monett and Reeds Spring being a good game but not sure it would be this year... I am not a total believer in Calpreps but as an example they say the Wolves would win by 3TDs. Unless something has changed since I saw them Aurora is better than Nevada. The former COC schools did a good job of holding their own... something that most thought would not happen.
They held their own never having to play Both Lamar and Cassville, Swap out Lamar and Cassville for Aurora and MV and let’s see How they finish.
Point is, talk was that they would get run off the field and it was not the case.. I am all for talking about the overall strength of the whole league. Which is really something when you think about it. Im sure that the poster that brought up the East being stronger from top to bottom, this year, only did so because of being surprised because it went against all that was being said when the league expansion happened.
Thanks for helping prove my point. When MV managed to get to get to a state final game last year, it showed that it is possible to have some success, even when your team is not very talented. Coaching was the key to their run, and playing several other average teams along the way helped. If you are going to win at the highest level, you have to have talent. Cassville and Lamar are the only teams in the Big 14 that have a high overall level of talent this year.
The Big 8 should consider splitting into two conferences. Maybe call one the Big 8 and the other something like Small Central Ozarks Conference?
How many years does Cass Midway do this though? I think the past 5-6 years they have had 0-3 losses. And destroy districts teams. And than proceed to lose. It’s kinda puzzling. I think they can go far this year though.
Sure. But that’s not going to account for recently bias. Which kinda matters. We don’t know if it’s scheduling issues for the lack of higher rank for Cass Midway? Or is it just overlooking them. I’m aware of the history.
Adrian was ranked ahead of Pierce City before Midway beat the Blackhawks. Now undefeated PC is ranked 4 and undefeated Midway has a bunch of one and two loss teams ranked between them and PC at 9. They're media rankings so they are suspect anyway.
There is a lot of churn in class 1. Conferences are evolving, long time rivalries are lost to 8 man. Probably the hardest class to accurately rank outside of Hayti being #1.
