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.

The 13th does have some very good teams at the top of their region as does the 14th and 15th but I feel that after the top 2 or 3 in those regions the talent drops off considerably. The 12th does not have a team this year the quality of Perry Central or maybe Clay County, but I feel the top 10 or 12 teams in the 12th are better than the top 10 or 12 from these other regions. Also, you have to take into account only 4 of our schools are labeled as mountain schools. Pulaski Co., Southwestern, Rockcastle County and Somerset. I agree with your comment on polls, (you lose you drop), but I feel the level of competition and head to head games should be a major contributer to these pollsters.
