You don't rank a two-loss team over an undefeated team that beat them on their home field, period. Pikeville was MUCH better in December than September (see Paintsville).
December Pikeville beats December Belfry (with Dixon and anyone else who had so much as a stomach ache in the September loss) by 2 TDs on a neutral field and maybe more.

There will not be any asterisks beside the W next to Belfry on Pikeville's schedule or beside the final record of 14-0.

BOLDED=
Lord have mercy that boy done got into the eggnog already and someone made it extra spicy this year!

Is this how the urban legends of Pikeville being nationally ranked and ranked #1 overall in Kentucky started back in '87? Some 'nogged up ole boy from Bowles Addition said at a Christmas Party that Pikeville beat Henry Clay so of course they would beat anyone else in 4A?





Italicized= No disagreement from me. As I said, anything else is a hypothetical but the one thing we know for sure is when Pikeville and Belfry played, Pikeville has the W and it will stay that way in the history books.

At least until jetpilot starts some rumor ten years from now that Pikeville won that game with a rampant case of Asian Bird Flu and the reason Dixon did not play was when he warmed up he saw how the Panthers averaged 6'7 265 in their secondary alone and was afraid of not only being hurt, but having his career ended by a suplex on his first carry.
