[green-eagle]

Again no Crossett... Oh well.

[bulldoghistorian]

I believe Star City is still a top 10 team.
We should have beaten Warren last week, but we didn't.

[SUGARTOWN]

I believe Star City is still a top 10 team.
We should have beaten Warren last week, but we didn't.

You have another chance to beat a good team this week, you haven't beaten a really good one yet.

[RyanLR]

10/23 Joe T Robinson at Dardanelle is gonna be a great game.

[EagleForLife12]

Again no Crossett... Oh well.

We are not top 10 I know for sure, but I just cannot belive that there are 20 teams better than us in this class

[LJ06]

I believe Star City is still a top 10 team.
We should have beaten Warren last week, but we didn't.

Warren should have won by more than 2 scores.

[AirWarren]

I believe Star City is still a top 10 team.
We should have beaten Warren last week, but we didn't.

Hmmm. Warren failed in the redZone three times. Star city is lucky the game was so close. One thing about Warren's young team, they have let several teams hang around that shouldn't have been able to hang around. But they stiffen up and finish the game. Warren should have easily beaten star city by 3-4 touchdowns. But credit star city for fighting and staying in the game.

[green-eagle]

Again no Crossett... Oh well.

We are not top 10 I know for sure, but I just cannot belive that there are 20 teams better than us in this class

within the upcoming week, several of the teams will fall by the waste side...expect around week 8,  Crossett will pop in around spot 10.....

[bigchief72455]

I guess Pocahontas dropped because they didn't run the score up on Harrisburg.

[SUGARTOWN]

Any rankings that use some sort of "formula" are best taken with a grain of salt IMO.

Correction max preps has Crossett at #10

So about the same as the RPS rankings? 

[dc24]

I guess Pocahontas dropped because they didn't run the score up on Harrisburg.

Any rankings that use some sort of "formula" are best taken with a grain of salt IMO.

What are the best type then?  Ones that use biased human beings that can't possible see every team play?

No system is perfect, and I think the RPS may be a little bit too swayed towards tradition, but his seems to be pretty good more times than not.

Even though, and I'm sure you can agree, rankings matter little since it has no bearing on playoff positioning.  Mainly gives people like us message board material haha.

All rankings (computer and human) have some form of bias. Any credible pollster should see as many teams as possible, either in person or on film/highlights and compare/contrast their results and schedule with the other teams. It's not hard, it just requires a little effort.

[Lumberjackfan1978]

We should have beaten Warren last week, but we didn't.

Warren should have won by more than 2 scores.

If we hadn't had two hurt in first half it would have been a blowout

If you had fumbled on 2 of your scoring drives you would've lost.........

[Lumberjackfan1978]

Yea we could have but not having our Rb In second half and Hargis not playing at all In second really hurt us

[Lumberjackfan1978]

If you fumble you always have a better chance of losing

[LJ06]

Better get used to it

I don't think this 1 is bad I just know the max preps poll is pretty much useless, I was trying to figure why he even brought that 1 up.

[Lumberjackfan1978]

Yea we could have but not having our Rb In second half and Hargis not playing at all In second really hurt us

Better get used to it

Is Hargis and Daniels out

[LJ06]

I'm not going to speculate on here in respect to the players and coaches. It will come out on its own.

Plagued by a bad conference which is even weaker than last year so don't worry about it all the rankings now have no bearing anyway you can throw them out the window after the 1st round of the playoffs. Make the playoffs and embrace the underdog role and anything can happen as long as the talent is there gosnell is in the same boat no matter who wins that game they still won't be favored against teams from other conferences even though there starters have only played in 10 quarters this season.

That

If you go to looking at "woulda, shoulda, coulda" heck star city had their chances to score more as well. C'mon guys. Get real. Its called football. Heck if Star City scores when they have the ball with 4 minutes left they win the dang game. Good grief.

Highlights are probably the worst way to judge a team...

Not if you know what to look for...

[HorseFeathers]

You may be right...I guess you can look at it and see if a rb is making the moves to get those yards, or the o line is great and doing all the work

Not really if they had scored they win but if we had scored on the three times we was in the red it wouldn't have mattered

[bodycounTT]

Why isn't Ozark JV listed? They're top 5 for sure.

Top 5?  They are a clear #1... It isn't even close...
