Wow! LMAO! I shouldn't even try to make a case why Belfry should be higher than #23 but I'm going to give it a shot and see if I'm the only "homer" that thinks they should be. The Pirates are 4-1. Their only lose was to one of the top programs in WV, in the biggest classification in WV, and would be a 6A school in Kentucky if they were on this side of the river. Huntington High is 4-0 and ranked #5 in the state the last time I checked. They also have a ton on D-1 players on that team, one of which is a top 5 prospect in the nation in Darnell Wright. They beat us by only one score (17-9) and our starting QB was out. Our backup was a sophomore making his first start ever at the QB position. We had 5 turnovers in that game, which that's no excuse because that was our fault. If we had our starting QB and cut those turnovers in half I believe we win that game. We've played the #2 ranked team in 1A (I saw somewhere that they were ranked #1 when we played them) the Pikeville Panthers at their place and beat them pretty handily IMO. The other three games against NCC, Bryan Station, and Sheldon Clark were nothing to brag about, I agree, but we did what we were supposed to do and that was win convincingly. That's all we can do in those type of games. I'm not saying we should be in the Top 5, or Top 10 for that matter, but #23? Come on! I guess everyone has their opinions though. I just think that we are way better than #23 and have the results to prove it. Am I alone in this assessment?

So far what the computer sees is that every team above Belfry besides Anderson has played a tougher schedule. But Anderson has 4 wins vs above average teams and Belfry has 2. I think Belfry would be a physical nightmare for #4 Highlands, #15 Lex Cath and#19 North Hardin, but computers don't care about style of play.
