Yea I don’t get Kemp either. They aren’t half the team they were last year and haven’t really played anybody but Sunnyvale. And lost that game. I figured we would drop out with that performance against Grandview. Even though they are a pretty decent team. Oh well, is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was assuming on my statement and you know what they say when you assume!! I have no dog in this fight but I too was wondering how predictions in high school are determined?

There's no way anyone can go out and see every single team..its impossible in ten weeks so we try and go so see as many teams as we can within reason....granted most of our games are in DFW because we all live there but we travel all over the state...I'll personally see about 75 games this year.. We rely on our own opinions, tape from HUDL, along with online archived games from various outlets (if you walk into our office we have an area called the bullpen w/4 different big screen TVs and most of the time there's a TXHSFB game on) also what we see in person, what feedback we get from coaches as well as 2 different computer polls as datapoints....there's no perfect ranking system out there....we will be right on some and wrong on others but I promise you its not from us sitting behind a computer screen not giving effort... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Followed by WR and Tatum in no particular order I can’t believe Gladewater is not #1 with the schedule that they’ve had so far. They have beat some good teams.

Too me it sounds like your wondering why if your explaining wins that they already know about. Just saying....!! Doesn’t bother me one little bit; Seeing Carthage hoist that at JerryWorld makes all of them pollsters look foolish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand5 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 When you try to predict 3A down its a hard thing to do. They are scattered around would be hard to watch games.You would have to rely on film and records. Last year records. In Gladewaters case them dropping. Much of the people on here never thought GW would be as good as they have played. I think they are just now catching the eyes of the pollsters. With who they played they should be higher than WR at this point. The rest I'm not sure. Haven't followed any of them. Now Newton should be rank 1.

I didn't think I needed to type that but maybe I did. Also why would beating West Rusk not be a signature win? AP #8 that is 4-0, wins over AP #11 and #12, tore apart Arp and Westwood. Pretty good criteria in my books. Lol Arp and Westwood. Another comical post. You’re on a roll brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRed Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 11 hours ago, HearEmaGrowlin said: They’re going to have to stick with Argyle at #1 in 4A-D1 until they lose. I commend DCTF for having the guts to rank Argyle ahead of back-to-back defending state champion Carthage now on a 30 game win streak if they genuinely felt Argyle is better this year, and they obviously did and still do. If CHS winning at Marshall and a kind blowout win at Gilmer doesn’t jump them to #1 then adding a win at home against a one loss defending 4A-D2 state champ in PG and going undefeated in district won’t do it either. Rankings mean absolutely nothing in high school football, which is part of what’s so great about it. Go Dawgs!!!!!!! Seen both Argyle and Carthage play. Argyle isnt beating Carthage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
