Good job all year Bull!
But just IMO:
Trinity would wear Tilghman out 10/10 games
Manual St X and Male would win 70+/100 vs Beechwood Cooper Highlands and Ryle

Bull dies a nice job with those rankings. I do agree, however, Trinity spanks the Blue Sky 10 times out of 10 by multiple scores.  Those Louisville schools are just on another level. Absolutely no way are they anywhere close to being better than Trinity.

This years Beechwood team would've won 1-3A and would've competed in the remainder of classes... they should be higher

I watched the Beechwood game. I will say this much. I had Beechwood underrated all year honestly. I think they went through some games with a injury that may have got me thinking not as high in them. But after watching them in the last two games just taking Owensboro Catholic and LCA to the woodshed, I went outside and put my head in the sand. Talking about a team playing Championship Football at the right time. I have to say, if there was such a thing as a play of the year, it was the big lineman running back the onside kick to the house. Beechwood was having fun. They are worthy.

I think one of my favorite memories from this past season was at the Pigskin Classic in Corbin and when Beechwood left the field after beating Pulaski in a down to the wire game and the team was cutting across the road to go to the community center a handful of their players stopped and stood in the alley and watched Corbin team do the bridge walk into the stadium and just took in the atmosphere. they seemed to be really good kids.  if I remember correctly Beechwood is Corbin last home loss back in 2020-21 season.

Beechwood is champion year after year for a reason. They have championship pedigree and a championship culture up there. Boyle , same thing.

I think your rankings are as good as I've seen anywhere. Thank you for all the time you put into them for our enjoyment.

Thanks bull, appreciate the hard work. Only change I would make is,, I KNOW, that mayfield is the best team in the state. They had a bad night against PT and LCA, the refs just totally screwed them. Mayfield would SMOKE sayre, and beat LCA, Beechwood, OC, and yes even Boyle county if they played, Today, with impartial refs. Just sayin,,,, ;)

Boyle County had a off night and got screwed by a late call. They were the best team in the state. Trinity is right there , too, but I would take Boyle. I am a homer.

Trade CAL and Beechwood and you are gold.

Logic = LCA beat CAL ... Beechwood handled LCA

Lmbo, just throwing a left jab for fun OS

cooper would score 50+ on Manual and X

Maybe X.

If either of those teams have any kind of pass rush then they won't score 20. Cooper saw true speed for the first time and melted under it. Couldn't do anything but throw it up and pray.

I will say cooper got pretty lucky with highlands self imploding, and SC being riddled with injury in their 2 big playoff matchups before state.

Manual lost to GC and barely beat X who both got killed by Ryle, who lost to cooper. Cooper folded under the pressure(again) while BG per usual didn’t.

Looks good to me. Like any poll people can determine certain matches may go a different way and switch three or four around, but I appreciate you taking the effort to make your picks.
