Newcat,

My apologies, other than to make posts, I don't frequent the board for responses. I will go check out and respond. As for where Berkeley is located in the poll, they aren't necessarily #12. The others receiving votes category aren't in any particular order. In fact, they are just those the order that they fall on my "polling matrix" out of those that didn't make the top ten, but still did receive votes.
In terms of the poll, it isn't necessarily how teams have done throughout the season, its really how they are playing right now. So to start using football math like, well this team beat this team beat this team, so they should move here, doesn't always work. (Hopefully what I just said makes sense).
Thanks for viewing and commenting on the poll.

You make good points and are well thought through. The only response I have, in terms of my one vote in the poll, is other teams have made strides too. Byrnes now has two losses and to me, personally, the other 10 teams have been more impressive so far this season. While yes, Gaffney did lose to Byrnes, I feel Gaffney is playing better football than Byrnes right now. As for Dorman, I didn't drop Dorman too far after their last second loss to Gaffney, and their impressive win over Byrnes last week made me believe that, despite their loss to Gaffney, Dorman is playing better football.
At the end of the day polls are just that polls. They are meant to be fun and cause debate. But I can assure you that most, if not all of the names mentioned on the list, do their research and have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to high school football. Many have been broadcasting games for 20+ years and some have north of 300 games broadcast in their career. While you may disagree with what they say, it is incorrect to say they know very little about football. They know quite a bit, or else we wouldn't hire them.
Thanks to all for listening and commenting. Polls are meant to be debated!

Thanks for posting the polls on the site.

You should go pick apart his Top 10.

If you are waiting for this group to come up with a real TOP TEN, you could be here a while. There are only one or two names that would know a football if they saw it....

How can you even make that comment based on you not agreeing with a poll? Do you know each of the voters personally? I would imagine that they have some knowledge of the game since they are being paid to do it. Last time I checked no one was paying me, or many of the other posters on here for our football knowledge. So, who am I to question someone's knowledge of football that is being paid to give their knowledge. Obviously they know enough to have a job doing it. Do I know more than them? I am not sure. But I do know that just because someone disagrees with my OPINION on the rankings of teams doesn't mean they don't know anything about the sport.

Its not worth it to pick apart polls. Everyone has their own opinion, especially on this board. In addition, when only one person votes, that is not considered a "poll", instead it is considered that person's personal rankings. A poll is actually the collection of multiple people's rankings. That is why I enjoy a poll over someone's personal rankings.
