I don't like the mixed Division thing. If they want to combine their rankings, match them up in the playoffs. Take two from Division 1 district and two from the coinciding Division 2 District and let them have at it.

[10ForTheWin]

Refugio should've stayed at number 1 in my opinion, that game could've gone either way

I would like to see them not have any divisions. 32 districts, top 2 go to the playoffs, and have a battle royal. 1 true champ.

I think Wylie is overrated in this poll. I'm thinking 15-20 and just my opinion.

Friday Oct 7th will help determine that. :1popcorn:

You would have to add another round of the playoffs, but yea that would work.

Keep thinking that. This Wylie team is big, fast, deep, talented and is getting better every week. Will be a very tough out come playoff time.

Major flaw in his logic. There is a good chance Cedar Park (current AP 5A No. 1) will be in 5A-DII playoffs and Aledo (current AP 5A No. 2) will be in 5A-DI playoffs just like last year. So, based on his logic, they shouldn't be in same rankings because Aledo won't have to beat Cedar Park to be State Champ's. I agree with the AP's way.

he was mainly talking about 4a and below, where d1 and d2 are definite, and different classifications from the get go. 5a and up is not.

Tepper said (I think) that Refugio shouldn't be in same 2A poll as Bremond and Iraan because they don't have to beat them to end up state champs. If Tepper thinks the AP is crazy for lumping all 4A's, 3A's, and 2A's together in one poll even though they can't meet in playoffs, than he must think he, himself, is crazy for doing the same thing with 5A and 6A. If the UIL is going to group a bunch of teams together as 4A teams, the pollsters ought to tell us who they think the best 4A team is just like 5A and 6A. Otherwise, a team like WOS, which is probably the best 4A team in the state, never gets that recognition. I've beat this one to death enough.

WOS gets plenty of recognition...btw Aledo has the smallest enrollment in their district, thus ensuring they will be d2, there is a slight chance of CP going d2

Ok, if you insist. I'll keep this going. If Aledo and CP go into playoffs ranked 1, 2 and both end up D2 and one wins it all, they have legitimate bragging rights as the best 5A school in the state. If you rank 4A by separate divisions, no way of anyone claiming best 4A in Texas bragging rights. It's all just stupid polls. Why water down the fun right out of 'em?

Any banter is welcome, BTW. I don't make varsity for another 150 or so posts.

[Weebe]

The difference in 4a D1 and 4a D2 is no different that the difference between 5a and 2a.

There is no rational reason to group them together under the class 4a umbrella or the polls.

I agree, or just make it a top 25 like college

I understand where you're coming from..and I agree, maybe they should just give every classification its own #, take the division part out?

I suppose you mean a top 25 in D1 and top 25 in D2.
