Everyone knows that you cannot guarantee a poll ranking by who beat who unless a team is undefeated and even then it is questionable. So what if Nederland is ahead of PN-G? If LC-M with only one win on the year would have upset Nederland last week, would that have made them a top 20 team in the state because Nederland held that ranking the week before? Does it mean that they are a better team overall? Not hardly on either account.

What happens when a team that is 5-3 on the year beats the #1 team in the state? Does that team then become #1?

But wait, if they are #1 and 3 other teams have beaten then already, then they are all at #1, right? But which teams have beaten them?

It is impossible to figure out which team should be ranked higher strictly off of the results of a single game. The numbers just won't add up. Rankings are nothing more than opinions, as everyone knows. Losing to a team does not and should not mean that the winning team should be ranked higher. If it did, it would be impossible to put out a poll since teams have beaten and lost to different teams.

East Chambers lost some ground in the rankings after beating an udefeated team.  what do they have to do to break the top 10.

I don't know...maybe beat an unranked team more soundly.  Not let an unranked team have a chance to beat you on an extra point in the last minute of the game.

But I totally agree with you EC should be ranked higher, but I also think Buna should have some votes too...What the H!@#*!*@ll is up?

Bottom line is...Ned has LOST a game and PNG has lost a game and NED's game was LOST to PNG.  That's all I was mentioning.  I don't care one way or the other, I was just curious.

Not that it really matters all that much, stangchain, but PN-G has lost TWO games. Granted, they are a much stronger team since ditching the spread, but they do have 2 losses nonetheless. No doubt, they were the better team the night we played them.
