oh ok sorry i just seen pikeville int there but didnt look at the polls right but i still say allen central shouldof got in they are 7-3 and we didnt even get any votes of being put in there but sorry

Allen Central isn't in the Top 20 poll because quite frankly, they haven't shown any reason why they SHOULD be ranked. Yes, they are 7-3, but what does that mean? Absolutely nothing, when you've played the schedule that they did. None of their wins were against what anyone would consider a good team. Who was their best win? Knott Central? No matter how you look at it, there's not much substance to that pretty record.

They also lost to the two best teams on their schedule, Paintsville and Pikeville, neither of which are ranked either. If Paintsville isn't ranked, and they beat AC by 28 points, then how can you justify ranking the Rebels? The loss to Berea, who's not exactly a powerhouse, is just the topper.

If you must know, I do think Allen Central will beat Harlan this week. But the bottom line is that they don't deserve to be ranked. At least not yet.
