[Strikeout King]

South Laurel beat the living hell out of Pikeville.

Marshall County beat Heath, a team that beat Pikeville badly. Marshall County's two biggest loss differentials are to teams ranked in the top 5.

Apollo has only 1 loss to a team not in the top 25 or receiving 10+ votes (and out of state Castle, IN)

Walton-Verona is towards the bottom of the "receiving votes" list and still beat Pikeville 5-0.

Pikeville definitely does not deserve to be ranked at this point, and Jenkins hasn't even scored on Pikeville in 3 games.

Record does not alone indicate the quality of a team. A win over a bad team is not as impressive as a 1-3 run loss to a top 25 team.

Look, I am biased, and would LOVE to see PHS up there, but I still believe your argument is not valid.

I wasn't talking about Pikeville not getting any votes.

Magoffin County (17-6) got a vote, who have they beat? Rowan (18-11) They played Wolfe County (5-17) 3 times, 2 of the 3 were won by 3 runs, the other game was won by 5. They only beat Rockcastle County a team that's 9-16 by 2 Runs, They were mercy ruled by a 14-10 Paintsville team.

Warren East (8-8) 3 votes for the Top 25. 3 of those 8 wins were against out of state teams.

What teams that have 4-6 losses that should be in the top 25?

Heck, Louisville Butler has FOUR wins over current top 20 teams and Butler can't even break the top 25?

It's easy to say "This team shouldn't be ranked" or "This team is way too low."

You call the rankings joke, yet are you willing to throw out a top 25 of your own?

Walton-Verona (19-6) (They should have gotten more votes then what they did)

Lone Oak (18-3) def. #19 Heath, defeated Calloway County twice, calloway had 12 votes for the top 25

Bourbon County (17-6) def. Butler (27 votes for top 25), def. Montgomery County and lost to Montgomery County

Mercer County (21-5) def. Butler County (11 votes for top 25)

Franklin-County (16-9) haven't even defeated anyone in the Top 25 or anyone with votes for the top 25 but yet they got 16 votes? They did lose by 1 to #18 CAL.

Glasgow (14-9) Same situation as Franklin County. They did however defeat 1 top 25 team in Bowling Green.



This isn't a knock to any of these teams, coaches or the coaches that do the Top 25. Just trying to figure out how some teams got votes for the Top 25 when other deserving teams should have been in the Top 25 or at least tied with some teams for that Ranking Spot
