I like it. I would say a lot of people like me would change a few here and there but it looks pretty good.

Thoughts?
#3
I think it's an overall pretty fair pre season ranking lots of things could shake out differently once the ball is actually in the air.
#4
I think Russell is ranked wayyyy higher on this list than they should be. Just an opinion of course like this list is but I really don't see them beating Bell,Lawrence or Paducah Tilghman yet they are ranked #6. I feel Ashland is ranked pretty high at #4 as well but maybe 4a is freakin horrid this year. *shrugs*
#5
I think overall this is pretty fair and accurate.
#6
We really won't know how accurate any of this is for several weeks. I think it's a pretty good job but, you just don't know. Look how impressive DeSales looked in their scrimmage. They could definitely end up bumping my Cards at some point. Russellville may surprise a bunch. Central may shock a few. 4a is wide open. BG may shock Highlands. 6a should remain the same for the most part.

IMHO, Russell and Bell were essentially the same team in 2014.

Not a bad pre-season poll...

Yes i can see williamsburg moving up in the 1A polls. :Cheerlead

2A looks pretty good. With all the power in the west it should be a blood bath to see who comes out of that side.
My only change would be around the bottom 3 and as someone else I think said in another thread they're almost interchangeable, IMO you could put 8-13 in a hat and shake & take the 3 that fall out.
Danville looked like a troubled program when Pburg defeated them soundly at D-ville in playoffs.
Lloyd has to come out of the NKy region and has to replace a lot.
Monroe Co. is a big ? due to all their kids last yr. being lost to injury.
I'll know more about Pburg after week 1, I missed their scrimmage so after the Pikeville game we'll see if they should be in top 10.
Nobody expects Somerset to have a repeat of last season and Leslie Co. has plenty of talent returning.
#11
I think that looks good. I will be interested to see how the first three weeks play out and these ranking hold up!!!

Good post. Well said.
#13
I think that any of us who know all of these teams, and how good they are may be are in for a surprise. As far as Russell and Ashland being ranked so high... Who then heck knows. Ashland has a legit Football candidate. Russell has one of the best coaches in Ky. He has a knack for winning big games. Belfry is on a whole different level than Russell was last year and Russell got there butt's whipped. I think that gap may close a bit this year. I look forward to a great season.
