True. Most people will agree that playing teams in the 12th region is much harder than playing in the 15th. Historically, the 15th is a much weaker region from top to bottom every year. I must give props to Sheldon Clark last year, they had a very good team and played very well in the state tournament, but the state champion was from the 12th region. Most teams that travel from the 12th to the 15th usually come back with a win, I don't recall the 15th traveling to the 12th to play very often. A lot of times it is not how many wins or losses a team has, it is who thoses wins and losses came against.

You are right, But just like any other poll If you lose during the season you are going to drop. Sv is on a nice win streak beating good teams (like the 2nd best team in a tough 14th region). The 14th, IMO, is the toughest region in the mtns right now.
