AggiesAreWe Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 Still no Silsbee in the 3A poll. > Just what do these guys have to do to get some respect? This is a complete joke.

Thank goodness this isn't the BCS at least they get a chance to play it out they will be a force to be dealt with come playoff time
Guest DickVitale Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 Aggies, in the TABC poll, particularly the 3A and under teams, if you are not a KNOWN power, with record to boot, then the way to get ranked in their top 25, if worthy, is for the coaches to make sure they have their record and stats each week...They do not always go out and search all sources for records and such, yet they rely heavily on coaches input at the TABC offices when they rank teams. Honestly, it is really not a very accurate poll altogether, but, what POLL is??
CATMAN Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 THE ONLY POLL THAT COUNT,IS WHEN THE PLAYOFF START,THEN WE SEE HOW GOOD THE TABC IS,RIGHT MR.DICK :D :D :D
Guest DickVitale Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 That is correct... ..Heck, Yates should be ranked about 14th or 15th, if you ask CATMAN?? Right Cat? :
hjsc Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 ha these polls are so off.....Sisbee defiantly should be up there and i believe they should be in the top half

Honestly, it is really not a very accurate poll altogether, but, what POLL is?? Yea, I know Dick, I am just venting. This has been a burr in my saddle for quite some time. As for the Tigers being a KNOWN power, well I would have to regard them as one and I know there are others out there who think so too. What do you have to do to be a known power? Win State? There are several teams in the top 20 that haven't done that. In fact, several haven't accomplished more than Silsbee has since the Tigers dropped down to 3A. In the 3 years that Silsbee has been 3A( this is the 4th year), the Tigers have made the final 8( regional finals ) twice, and the third round the other year. Last year, many considered that regional final with Hardin-Jefferson the real state championship, they were the best two teams in the state. This year, with a record of 21-5, recently beaten the then #3 ranked team, and all 5 of their losses coming against state ranked teams, one would think that is enough to have a reputation as a year in and year out top 20 team. Also, Silsbee wasn't too shabby when they were 4A, I believe they were known as a very solid 4A basketball program. Like you said Dick, this poll isn't very accurate and has the means of being very political. It seems to be a " who you know " not " how good you are" type poll.
Guest DickVitale Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 Absolutely...Just let your team do the talking...Its definitely a "who you know, and who knows you" poll...
