How about some reasoning as to why you have them in the order that you do. Mercer made a run into the playoffs last year and got put out by Russell. Ft Campbell got put out last year by OC who was then put out by Russell. Western got put out by Desales last year. E-town didn't even make the playoffs last year.

Ft Campbell lost most of their talent to graduation. Mercer may be good this year just due to the Merger. This will be remidied next year with the reclassification.

I know nothing of Western or E-town.

Russell and Belfry have to be 1-2. You pick where but look at the records of both teams. 3 state championships in the last 3 years. Russell is on a state record win streak at 13.

Final words- To be the best you have to beat the best.

This is not last year, and I base my opinions on my rankings like everyone else for the most part, performance this year. I disagree that if a team wins the title the previous year they deserve to be 1-2, Russell is a very good team, as is every team in the top 5 IMO.
