For me, a mountain top 10 is difficult to do. For one, if were looking at a beauty contest, then WYMT usually has it right on the money, but if were going head to head matchups, then it changes everything. The best example I can think of off the top of my head is Williamsburg last year. Great record, best 1A team in the east, only lost a few games. However, how many people ranked North Laurel last year to start the year? Very few, if any. Wburg met North Laurel and we seen what depth and have 1400 kids to a 100 kids will do in a football game. Wburg IMO was even on talent level for the 11 that was on the field, but North also had a line that was average to small for a 5A school, but overwhelmed Wburg when it mattered most.
This is why I don't get into the whole top 10 mountain thing much. If were ranking by who will have the best seasons and go the furthest in the playoffs, albeit 1A, 2A, etc, then its a totally different ball game than ranking them in terms of head to head matchups. Teams like Paintsville, etc could easily be ranked, but if they were to go up against any team in 5A region 4, could they win? Probably not, and those same teams wont be ranked in the top 10. Its not always the case, but most of the time it is.

right.I don't think true Mountain top 10 would consist of mostly 1A teams.
