beaumont central above both png and pa memorial?? pretty decent list besides that.

[Guest tappedout]

Absolutely no respect for Nederland!

[Kville_Kats]

I'm surprised Kirbyville got ranked being it's their first year back in 3A this time..I suppose the back to back State appearances in 2A may have helped... ???

[/quote]What do you think a fair ranking would be? You have to look at what their record form last year was, and who they have returning. Alot goes into these rankings, they're not just drawn from a hat. IMO, thats about where they should be.

[BrenhamFan]

Central above Dayton?  Not sure about that... 

[Gtj007]

That's funny!!!  Nederland behind four 3A schools??  Silsbee being one of those??  Again laughable!!  I'm curious how the points work?

[82 5A State Champs]

Again, where would you rank them. Is it because they're a 4A school thats ranked behind a couple of 3A schools? Doesn't Nederland play WO-S in a few weeks? Maybe we should re-evaluate their ranking after that game. My guess, Nederlands ranking will go down after that game.

Soulja either paid the pollsters or they got tired of him whinning about his Jags not getting any respect....











Just pickin Souja!!!!

[SgtRey]

I still got Dayton at #2...I can say the rest is good...not sure about the number 1 spot though... ;D

[Gtj007]

Well since you asked.  I would put nederland at 8. Not ahead of
wos or crosby but definitely ahead of silsbee, kirbyville and jasper.  Again, i want to know how the points work.  If they are basing the points off of last years record then ok.  But silsbee will be nowhere close to the team they were last year.

[AggiesAreWe]

Just to explain the points, a team gets 15 points for a 1st place vote, 14 for 2nd, 13 for 3rd and so on and so on. That's why you see West Brook with 150 points. There are 10 pollsters and all 10 voted them #1.

Now, as to why West Brook was voted #1 or why any of the other teams got voted in whatever spot they ended up in, I believe it to be a multitude of reasons.

But that's how the points work. I answered your question about the points but to answer any questions as to how a team was voted would be pointless. ;D

Nederland lost to WOS last year by 21 points. Kirbyville lost by 1!!!  WOS and Kville both had young teams and are returning very good teams!!!    Your correct I dont know how they could even put Kirbyville or WOS anywhere near Nederland.  Geez what are they thinking?  Explain to me how your logic works again??

[Gtj007]

Thanks for answering my question.

There is only three points between Central and the Dayton / PN-G teams.
I believe the top four 4A teams in no particular order are Central, Crosby, Dayton, and PN-G.
Those four teams are the highest ranked 4A teams.
Looks pretty good.

[Gtj007]

Go back and read my post.  I said WOS should be ahead of Nederland, but not Kirbyville, Silsbee or Jasper.  Last year should have very little to do with this poll.  We all know that Nederland lost their starting QB against WOS last year and were down to their 4th string QB for most of the year.  Kirbyville losing to WOS by one point last year should have nothing to do with this. And as I also stated earlier, Silsbee will be a much different team this year as well.

[AggiesAreWe]

I agree that Silsbee will be different.

I disagree!  WOS is returning most of the exact same kids that beat Nederland by 21 and Kirbyville is also returning most of the exact kids. It has alot to do with last year!  I think ranking wise they are where they need to be.  Nederland had their struggles last year and there is nothing in place that would suggest anything different.  Most preseason rankings are a combination of what they did last year combined with what they have coming back and are expected to do this year. Therefore, in my opinion Nederland is where they need to be and if they have improved and get the wins that matter then they will end up where they deserve.

You tell'em rykerx. Great point. ;D

[phunter308]

I would have to say Dayton is number 1 by far with the talent and the playoff run last year. After that W.B. then those dang Indians,Central, Crosby. I hope there is alot of changes as the season progresses but I agree Ned should be higher than all but WOS they are nothn but atheletes at Wos.

[phunter308]

Sorry PA Mem should remain where they are but I think they may be a surprise.

[dayton]

I believe WB returned 19 from a team that went 3 or 4 rounds deep in the 5A playoffs last year. They are right where they need to be IMO... at #1.

[Guest rykerx144]

maybe im the one confused, are we ranking them by popularity?

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="827100" timestamp="1282184159"]

They have like 14-16 returning starters.  When you say they "will be different" I think you really mean "without Jeremy Johnson" ;D
