Agree with what? That Collins has played a tougher schedule than JC, CC and Boyle so far? If folks can't agree to that, based on the rankings above, then they need to get their heads out of the sand. All those teams, JC, CC and BC may prove to be better teams by year's end, but based on actual results so far, I am saying that there is fair reason to put Collins at #3 ahead of them. Collins has played against two top ten 6A ranked teams and beat one of them. Can JC, CC or BC say that? No. I don't expect many fans of the east bracket to agree with me - Collins will not be a decent team in their minds until they beat Highlands, something else those teams have not done lately.

I do not think Collins schedule is tougher than CCH; they played Henderson who is a 6A team that has only lost to CCH, and they played Cincinnati Moller who is head and shoulders better than anyone on Collins schedule. I know they beat Cov Cath easily, I am just talking strength of schedule. Collins is one and one against the two top teams on their schedule as is Cov Cath. And you do not have to beat Highlands but just because you were runner ups last year does not automatically make Collins #2 this year; there were at least 5 teams in east better than Collins last year and a good chance it will be the same this year. I do not like to rank teams just on wins and loses because I feel you have to look at strenght of schedule. I would also want to go back and look at Boyle's schedule, I thought they played some good teams already but can't remember without looking. At this point in the season I think you could throw Cov Cath, JC, Lex Cath, Boyle, and Collins anywhere in the 2-6 spots and have a good argument.
