Yea, and thats said every single year and every single year we see Corbin and Clay usually fighting it out in the 13th. Every now and then a team will surprise and that may be Harlan County this year, but you better believe Corbin and Clay will be firing on all cylinders come tourney time.

And preseason ranking mean absoloutly nothing.

I think you make this stuff up as you go and figure no one notices.

Harlan County has been here for four years and this is the first time they've been ranked No. 1. I think it's the first time they've been in the top five.

Clay was pretty good last year, but they haven't won a regional championship in about 10 years. They didn't win a regional tournament game for a number of years until edging Harlan County last year in the first round.

Having said that, Harlan County does not look like a No. 1 team in the region at this point. I think they will be in the mix though eventually if they start playing like they are capable.

Wait until March and see what the preseason rankings mean. I'll be surprised if at least seven of the eight teams weren't ranked in the top 10 in the preseason.
