Scott Co. - Obviously

Catholic - blown out by two teams better than Scott Co. and I think we can all agree anyone on this list would be blown out by Scott Co. - 3 wins versus decent 6a opponents ( I dont care what you say, MC is heads and shoulders better than GRC) - beaten Boyle in last 4 meetings

Henry Clay - Beat the same GRC team leading Boyle at half 50-0. Also with win against a quality 6a Tates creek.

Tates Creek/Boyle/Franklin/Bourbon/Madison Southern - Not sure you can separate these 5 for 4th and 5th spot.

Boyle - A good team that has done nothing wrong, but you are counting Anderson as a quality win, and Anderson has beaten nobody. If made to chose they would probably be 5th

Franklin - Another good team, who has done nothing wrong and who also dominated a 6a team that is better than GRC, but struggled against a slightly above average 1a team - If made to chose now I would have them tied with MS at 6th.

Bourbon - Has beyond domintated their schedule, but to your point not played anyone with a pulse. I will say they dominated a Montgomery County team that also dominated that same GRC team. This team could be as good as 2nd or as bad as 8th, if made to chose right now I would say 8th. Anderson v. Montgomery should shed some light about Bourbon and Boyle.

Tates Creek - They would probably be 4th on my list, because their only loss was a close game to Henry Clay which I rank 3rd.

Madison Southern - Dominated who they should have and beat 2 decent 6 a teams - If made to chose I would have them 6th right there with Boyle

1. Scott Co.
2. Catholic
3. HC
4. TC
5. Boyle
6. MS/Franklin
7. Bourbon County

With 4-7 being pretty interchangeable.

Well thought out post, but it simply stands to reason that the points you made and the points I make all fall on the same thing. Right now from spots 2-8 the difference in these teams is negligible and there are not enough quality wins to give a definitive ranking one way or the other. I gave my logic and reasoning you gave yours..but both are based off inferences and "who beat who that beat who that beat who".

I was actually listening to talk radio on my way to lunch and they were comparing the perception of UGA's "ugly" win vs. North Texas and Alabama's "ugly" win vs. Colorado State. UGA won by a similar margin, to a more veteran team, in a game that they gave up 2 Special teams TD's.. yet the perception was that UGA's win was weaker than Alabama's.

The best reasoning I heard why is because UGA is UGA, and Alabama is Alabama. Not a conspiracy, as much as it is clout. Alabama has clout to backup an ugly win..they have the titles..they have the post-season success, they have the talent everyone knows is on their roster. UGA hasn't won a Title in 20 years, has a history of choking games they shouldn't, and a history of not meeting expectations by season's end.

In some way I think this is fitting here, at least in my perspective of what separates these teams with their resumes right now as they stand. Boyle and LexCath has the pedigree.. they have the hardware.. they have the post season success like last year where they wax "trendy" teams with better records. Franklin County and Henry Clay has a history of gaudy regular season records and unsuccessful playoff runs, Tates Creek and Bourbon are programs rising from years of mediocrity , Madison Southern is looking like one of those "trendy" teams Boyle and LexCath have beaten, and Anderson County surprisingly has had decent post-season success.

I have no allegiance to any CKY team, I am looking at this completely unbiased in terms of loyalty and who I follow the most.. but with that said I will admit there has to be some bias given based off of past success and to be honest I think that is a fair point until proven otherwise.
