True.

The one thing most of you are forgetting is the mountain top 10 is nothing more than a beauty contest.
Lets face it, we all know the smaller schools, such as williamsburg would get beaten by a lot of teams that arent even on the list, however, the mountain top 10 will go by records alone.
Its this way every single year. For example, if Whitley comes into there first game and loses to Russell County they will probably drop out of the top 10, even though its safe to say Russell County will be very, very good this year and might even challenge the likes of a Boyle, and or Lex Cath for that region.

Its a beauty contest plain and simple. If Knott County goes 10-0 and doesnt even play a team from KY but goes around finding 7th grade teams to play, they will be on the list.

As far as the real rankings....

Id go...

1. Belfry
2. Bell County
3. Harlan County
4. Breathitt County
5. Somerset
6. Whitley County
7. Johnson Central
8. Knox Central
9. Hazard
10.Rockcastle County

And the only one im really worried about, is my own team, Whitley County, we have a lot of proving to do. It could be a great year or a really bad one.

Thats why we play the game.
