Only seven members of the top 25 have more than 6 losses and five of those are ranked 19th or worse:
09 Owensboro Catholic (14-8-1)
14 Central Hardin (16-7)
19 Heath (16-9)
20 Eastern (20-8)
20 Pleasure Ridge Park (13-8)
23 Hopkins County Central (13-7)
24 Muhlenberg County (18-8)
Which means 18 members of the top 25 have 6 or less losses:
01 Allen County-Scottsville (21-2)
13 Ashland Blazer (16-2)
06 Assumption (24-5)
02 Ballard (19-3)
15 Bowling Green (17-4-1)
17 Bullitt East (16-6)
18 Christian Academy-Louisville (18-5)
05 Christian County (14-2)
22 Grayson County (22-3)
10 Green County (22-2)
07 Greenwood (16-4)
03 Lafayette (21-1)
25 Livingston Central (22-4)
08 Male (15-6)
04 Mercy (17-4)
16 North Laurel (22-5)
12 Reidland (18-6)
11 Scott County (22-6-1)
WHICH LEAVES YOU THIS LIST OF 30 TEAMS THAT SHOULD BE IN THE TOP 25 OR GET MORE TOP 25 VOTES:
Atherton (15-3)
Bethlehem (13-6)
Bishop Brossart (17-6)
Boone County (13-6)
Bourbon County (17-6)
Breathitt County (12-1)
Bullitt Central (14-6)
Dixie Heights (13-6)
East Carter (17-5)
East Ridge (14-5)
Estill County (17-6)
Gallatin County (15-5)
Harrison County (14-5-1)
Jackson City (11-6)
Lone Oak (18-3)
Magoffin County (17-6)
Marion County (12-4)
Marshall County (9-5)
Menifee County (11-5)
Mercer County (21-5)
Montgomery County (14-6)
Murray (13-5)
Newport (13-5)
Nicholas County (18-3)
Notre Dame (13-5)
Oldham County (21-6)
St. Henry (15-6)
Union County (14-6)
Walton-Verona (19-6)
West Carter (9-6)
No offense, but NONE of those remaining 30 teams with 6 or less losses screams “top-25 screwjob” to me.
If anyone is getting screwed, it's Louisville Butler, which has FOUR wins over current Top-20 teams and yet is still not ranked.
Lone Oak (currently 26th) should crack the top 25.
Walton-Verona, as mentioned above, was ranked back-to-back weeks but hasn't picked up a good win since.
Five of Bourbon's losses are to unranked teams. It beat Louisville Butler, but also lost to 11-loss Bracken County. And the one loss to a Top-25 team was by mercy rule No. 20 Eastern (which has eight losses).
All of Mercer’s losses are to unranked teams.
Nicholas didn’t make it out of pool play in All A.
Walton-Verona (19-6) was ranked 18th as of April 4 and ranked 20th as of April 11.
St. Henry has four unranked losses and not a single top-25 win.
