Why did you put Stephenville #3. Don't get me wrong I love number 1 but i'm just curious about the thought process.

[MGAR]

Pittsburg?

Naaaaaaah.

[Saggy Aggie]

Back to back semifinals and 8 seconds away from sending chapel hill home but still West Columbia gets no love.

[Bullaholic]

After losing our starting QB to transfer---I don't know that the Bulls are a Top 25 team to start the season. We'll all know more about us after a game or two. We still have some great kids ready to go, though.

[orange machine]

Yall have a ton of talent from a very young team returning that gave state finalist Argyle all they wanted and not to mention yall have 3 titles in the last 4 years along with the same coaches. I also think that yall and Navasota can beat Sville. Navasota returns a ton also.

[orange machine]

['Necks 2013-14]

Who came out with this list? And yes Saggy...same old story for the Dub. We are truly the Rodney Dangerfield of Texas High School Football!!!

[orange machine]

I think Sville can beat Carthage and Navasota, but I still like Carthage and Navasota with all the returners.

oh ok. Good logic. I think Navasota is the team no title contender wants to face in the playoffs.

I did im just trying to pass the time.

[Saggy Aggie]

Well, once again we've got some great players coming back, along with the help of 3 transfers and some solid underclassmen.

Lynch is going to have these kids playing great football again.

Its absurd for WC to be ranked anything less than 15, and thats being generous. In my homer opinion, WC is at LEAST a top 10 team, probably 5-7 range.

Oh and BTW, a kid named Floyd Bess is coming back. He's pretty decent... ;):eek:

I'd guess our guys would rather remain unranked. Thats how its been these last 2 years so no reason to start ranking us now

Holy crap come on your a Bulldog who cares???

[HEMOTOXIC]

Navasota will have to work on their offensive line.

You can't leave Bellville and West Columbia out. WC IMO will probably be a top 10 team and Bellville has the potential to be in the top 10 mix as well.

[Rabid Cougar]

No way LaVega should be that high.

[Lion70]

Pittsburg?

Naaaaaaah.

They did get out of the District of Doom lol.

[Lion70]

oh ok. Good logic. I think Navasota is the team no title contender wants to face in the playoffs.

Unless its in the Quarterfinals then you know your going to win. Just kidding Snake fans.

[Lion70]

Sad to say this but unless some newbies have step up it may be a long year for my Lions in the District of Doom.

[MGAR]

They did get out of the District of Doom lol.

True, but no matter which district they are in they still shouldn't be ranked.

IMO, three teams in their district will be better than them.

[CTS]

I believe La Marque, Stephenville and Carthage would play Navasota RIGHT NOW. I know our coach tried to schedule them for week 5 at Navasota and their coach wanted no part of that game.

We did lose some very good talent but you're right saggy, we do have some good talented starters returning that will be even better than what they were last year. I'm looking forward to seeing some of those that were on the back burner step up and play a major role this year. Some of them were pretty decent guys, they just had very good talent in front of them. If there is sufficient talent on a field, Lynch can do wonders, along with the rest of the staff which have done a hell of a job in the last few years. Mine put on his gear the other day and said "Dad, it felt so good". Now that baseball is over, he's ready to bring the pain. Lookout bulldogs, 88 says football will be a different outcome than baseball at the battle of the Bernard. Saggy, don't worry about those rankings, we love to be a sleeper coming in to the playoffs.

[JacketSwarm]

funny list.

i am glad you have waco at #4.

that will make the week 3 game even better.

16-3A is well represented on the list...Carthrage will not be on top for long...with no competition this year, they will fade into The Void & join Brownwood.

The unwritten board poll rule is that you can call the other guy's ranking "funny" as long as everyone gets a chance to laugh at yours, JSwarm.....Got a serious poll to put up? Cowboy up! :D

[waterboy]

True, but no matter which district they are in they still shouldn't be ranked.

IMO, three teams in their district will be better than them.
Atlanta, Paris, Liberty-Eylau? I think these three teams will fight it out for the top three spots in district 13.

[Ville]

You can't leave Bellville and West Columbia out. WC IMO will probably be a top 10 team and Bellville has the potential to be in the top 10 mix as well.:sleeping:

[Ville]

Stephenville La Vega game and the Alvarado game will be a good test. The reason I like Stephenville chances is the physical style of play. The O is explosive for sure but the punishment given out is the key. They dont take summer off to go play. The attitude is we will compete because we will out work you.

You will find that alot of 3A teams dont take the summer off espacially the teams that are always good year in and out.

[44INAROW]

I can't speak for the other 3A teams but I guarantee you the Gobblers don't take the summer off to play. We've been quiet for a couple years but that's fixin to change.

I'm the biggest Coog fan ever and even I wouldn't put us # 1. Too many young kids on offense. La Marque will only start 2 or 3 seniors on offense so in 2013 we will be loaded for bear. I would go Stephenville, Carthage, La Marque as 1-2-3. Stephenville with the drop and being loaded. Carthage on tradition and so many starters back. La Marque with 7 starters back off a defense that led 24-4A and can FLY. Navasota, Celina, Gilmer, Argyle in the hunt big time. And until they are knocked off...all the respect to Wimberley and Chapel Hill.

[waterboy]

Ducked Carthage?? NO WAY!! Your information is incorrect, and you Carthrage people are full of yourselves. Surratt already had his preseason schedule filled up because everybody thought we'd be in the same district, but it didn't turn out that way. Filling OUR preseason schedule is always a challenge because nobody wants to play us, either. We actually WANTED to play Carthrage, but Surratt already had all his dates filled BEFORE we had any chance of scheduling your pups. We would've MUCH rather have had the pups on our schedule than Prestonwood, and Traylor had to scramble to fill the schedule because Tatum and Liberty-Eylau no longer wanted to play us. The only locks on our 4-game preseason schedule were Atlanta in the TMF/Rose Classic, and Daingerfield (a long-time rival). Keep telling yourself whatever you want, but the truth is there was no way to schedule each other after Surratt filled HIS schedule, not the other way around.

All I'm saying is if you're going to make a false claim like that you need to be ready to hear the truth, that no "ducking" came from our end. No "panties in a wad" here, but Buckeyebob said something about you wearing red ones one time when he saw when you bend over to pick up your drink one time at a ballgame. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little...........don't know if it's true or not, and I really don't wanna know...:ack!:

I really do wish we could've worked it out to play y'all, though. It's one of those budding rivalries between two good programs that should've been continued even if we had to ditch somebody else on our schedules. It'll be at least 2014 before we ever play Carthrage again.

sorry... CTS... my bad .. Lol

[OldBison75]

Being a Navasota fan, I believe that they will be pretty dang good by the end of the year if they can get the o-line to gel. The skill position players they have are top notch. The defense should be pretty salty. If I had to place them in the preseason poll, they would be around the 8-12 position. I would say that to start the season you have to have Stephenville, LaMarque, LaVega, West Columbia, Wimberley, Carthage, and Gilmer ahead of them for sure.

Now, do I believe they can be at the top by years end, YES, but there will be alot of luck and injuries will have to be minimized to make that happen.

My guess is 2014 we will be playing again. From my perspective priority is for Henderson with Gilmer #2. That said I bet we are back in Henderson's district next re-alignment. Gilmer in the same district is unlikely.

Yes had the UIL made any sense and not make 163a a 7 team district we would play yall. In fact we had the game booked but we would have staeted district allready. This is the first time since 1950 that we haven't met up so the game is on LOL.

I'm gonna wait until I get my copy of "The Bible" before I make a Top 10 and a Top 25.

16-3A is well represented on the list...Carthrage will not be on top for long...with no competition this year, they will fade into The Void & join Brownwood.

You do realize that Carthage was in this same week district when they beat you guys in '08 right?

Maybe it is different in 4a, but in 3a, the preseason rankings don't impact the final rankings. So, nothing special will happen if Stephenville is ranked #1 preseason, because it doesn't matter. It's just for fun! Stephenville will have to make the playoffs (let's assume that will happen) and then win of their playoff games to prove they are #1.

That is so in the past...and they cheated us.

I think Coldspring should be in there.

Coldspring & Bellville both deserve to be in there...

[orange machine]

Coldspring & Bellville both deserve to be in there...
How do they deserve to be on the list they havent even played a game yet? Now if your saying based on the talent they have coming back ect. then ok, but I dont think any team at this point deserves anything.:D

Then why all the talk about waiting till it comes out. If it doesn't matter, then why would any 3a guru say that? It will be funny if Stephenville is #3 or #4 in DCTF and all the 3a gurus jump on that bandwagon...

Kennedale is certianly worthy of a top 25 slot and maybe even a top 10 slot..they battled through numerous injuries a year ago, played a ton of young kids and still got to round 2..they have I believe 20 of 22 starters back...a JV that was pretty good to fill in some gaps and an unreal freshman class with some soph's that should provide even more depth..they'll be a stout ball club

Also, there was a thread a while back like who could come out of nowhere to win a title.... I chose kennedale back then. People are sleeping on them

Cheated? Do explain please.

The thread topic is "preseason 25 picks" and no, they've not played a game yet.

[texas_wildcat]

year after year for the last 11 years kennedale has been a power house. but i think this year will be one of the best teams they have had.

I feel pretty confident that the top 15 deserve to be there at the beginning of the year. The final 10 I posted could be replaced by others. I can think at least 5 other teams that would have as much right in the 16-25 range as who I named.

[Manso/V8]

I would say because they are good teams and have a shot at the top 25. How anyone could question Argyle and Chapel Hill being in the top 25 is plum crazy. :crazy1:

I wasn't trying to slam your list, I was just curious about your thought. You didn't answer the question...but anyway, there are a lot of "good teams" around state. I only question Argyle based on regaleagle's hesitations about what they have coming back, and multiple comments about Chapel Hill graduating so many key players........same with Melissa. I hadn't heard anything about Liberty Hill? You didn't include Navasota, Coldspring, or Bellville. Maybe you are just thinking about teams in North Texas and a few names outside the North Texas that you recognize.

What is a 3a guru?

I don't doubt for second that Stephenville has a great program and really good 3a football team. I would be surprised if Stephenville wasn't ranked #1 preseason. I am sure you will have a deep playoff run, but a lot of things can happen between now and December and the late rounds can get pretty dicey. I want yall to do well, and I want your players to have success at the next level, because I am 3a fan, call me a homer for 3a. I am a lot more interested in your players and their recruiting stories because they are 3a kids, and I am pulling for them.

Bandwagon? This is a thread about FOOTBALL. Anyway I hope your band is able to compete better at the 3a level as well!
