This season, I'll rank the Top 10 programs overall in both East and Central Texas, based on their pound-for-pound value. So, even though (for example) Arp wouldn't beat Longview, they could be ranked higher in my Power Poll.
I will take your feedback and nominations each week in the forums section.
If you want, email me nominations after each week's games to
[email protected].
Thank you.
