I truly like these more and think these are a lot more accurate when broken down into classes, but IMO, they still are off in a couple spots such as Pulaski County and Bell County in the overall picks. Not saying that Bell should be ahead of Pulaski, just saying I feel they both are two better teams in the overall rankings than the rankings show. I do however agree more with the individual classes.

I agree.
Pulaski I think is definitely undervalued.

Bell though has a couple things at play.
1) First and foremost perception of South Pittsburg, TN. IN a lot of the opinion polls I think Kentuckians have valued South Pitt a little more due to what we have been told and their past success. The computers though hate them and have South Pitt valued about the same as Paintsville or Shelby Valley. I dont think that is accurate at all.

Truth is I think South Pitt is somewhere in the middle this year. Bell's win to most (including myself), when it happened, was comparable to beating a Frankfort, Beechwood, or something similar. It appears South Pitt is more comparable to a team like a Danville. A good win...but not a signature win.

2) The rest of Bell's wins were against very weak teams... and that doesnt help them since they finished so low last year in a "down" year.

To be honest, I think Calpreps does have them lower than they should..but I could also see Bell being a touch over valued in these public opinion polls especially if South Pitt isn't as good as people have been led to believe.
