Lets not forget though, the last, idk 4 or 5 years. Everyone has picked the the "preseason favorite" outnof the east to be on a "collision course" with Beechwood. All of the top 5 (year in and out) in the east, have had the title of THE team in the east. We have all eaten our crow those years lol. But, i think that is a GREAT thing. Much more fun to be on the side of the bracket thats not essentially just all for show. Seeing a darkhorse or atleast a semi-longshot make it the last few years has been awsome. Last year was more proof of that than any other year, imo. That anything can happen in late november in EKY.

Pikeville is still my preseason number 1 in the east, just based on what they return. But i dont see any of the top 5 being any more than a 3-6 point favorite or underdog. Injuries will again be a big factor this year.

I agree being pick pre-season #1 don’t mean nothing, it’s what you do during the season. I think you have 4 preseasons #1 in the east and everyone knows who the are. The team that works harder and makes the fewest mistakes comes out of the east and like you said Scotty has the least injuries will be the one that represents the east. Going to be a great season can’t hardly wait but good luck to all these young man and pray for no season ending injuries like Hazard had last year and probably some more I don’t know or remember. But go Panthers!!!!
