There's only a couple of those games that I see as definite losses.

Harlan County is a lost cause at this point.
I don't see the Commodores beating Whitley either, but you never know what could happen on Perry's field.

Perry has a winstreak on Breathitt right now and they'll have a new coach.
They've got a winstreak on Letcher and they'll have a new coach.
Rockcastle will be better than last year but Perry SPANKED them.
Johnson Central was close last year and Perry beat them at their place the year before, it won't be a blowout.
Tates Creek isn't exactly a 6A powerhouse.
Clay, Corbin and Pike aren't pushovers, but they are all winnable games.

I see 8-2 as a possibility - but I don't think they go 8-2.

5-5 or 6-4 is probable IMO.

Its definitely possible.
Except for Harlan County and Belfry, I look for there to be more parity in the mountains this year from the bigger schools than ever before.

Some like to dog the 6 class system, and while it does lead to one team dominating a class usually, the rest of each of the classes has worked out quite well as far as an even playing field.
If you take away Bowling Green over the last few years in 5A and Highlands out of 4A then those two classes are toss ups most years IMO, with 4 or 5 teams having a shot every year in each class.
