Strength of schedule has kept them out of the top 20.Most of the teams in the top 20 have played multiple games against top 20 competition.LCC has played one top 20 team( #19 Franklin Co) and lost.That being said I don't think there is much difference between the #15 team and the #30 ranked team at least in my opion.

I agree with the exception that this year there is not a lot of difference between the 7th or 8th ranked teams and the 30th ranked team. There is more parity in girls basketball this year then there has ever been. Marion County has shown the most capability of being a dominant program due to their consistency. They are still more vulnerable then teams in the past such as Iroquois, Lexington Catholic, and Sacred Heart. Most of the top 25 teams have lost games they shouldn't have to non- ranked teams. I do agree with your analysis of Letcher Central's rating even though I am an LCC fan. This may be one of the more exciting girls state tournaments in years.
