Rank the conferences

[HorseFeathers]

Strongest to weakest

1. 8-2a....different year same story. Junction city and rison are legitimate state title contenders. Bearden shouldn't be to far behind. Hermitage and parkers chapel could probably contend for conference title in half of the 2a conferences..

2.  6-2a...mccrory, hazen, des arc and Brinkley should all win playoff games..and it's a safe bet to think at least one of that group will be in the semi finals our the title game. Palestine-wheatley and our Carlisle could be solid teams this year

7-2a...mount Ida, gurdon, and Lafayette county should all be tough outs, and it wouldn't surprise me if one of these teams makes a run in the playoffs.

3-2a....cross county should make a deep playoff run, wouldnt suprise me to see earle and epc win a game or more in the playoffs

5-2a...bigelow, magnet cove, and england should all be above average teams. Conway christian it's turning into a really solid program...the bottom half of the conference is horrid though..

4-2a...hector and hackett should be good enough to pull out a playoff win, but not much else to soak of in the 4'.

[RiverEagle079]

Strongest to weakest

6-2a... is like the SEC a lot of power that can only kill itself I can see two possibly 3 in the semis.

8-2a....Junction is the top of the food chain of football rison is a lower top ten team bearden top 15

5-2a...bigelow, magnet cove, and england should be top of class in this conference all making top 25 easy
(REST IS SAME AS HF)
7-2a...mount Ida, gurdon, and Lafayette county should all be tough outs, and it wouldn't surprise me if one of these teams makes a run in the playoffs.

3-2a....cross county should make a deep playoff run, wouldnt suprise me to see earle and epc win a game or more in the playoffs

How deep did Rison go last year and they return a bunch?

[RiverEagle079]

not sure you tell me your in the eight im in the six

[JC Guy]

not sure you tell me your in the eight im in the six

I could be wrong but I was thinking they went to the semis. I seen that they return seventeen seniors.

I initially had the 6 number 1... flipped it though, cause I expect rison and jc to be that good....and I think rison lost in the quarters at hazen.

[BigLion10]

Rison lost in quarters to Hazen by 8

[JC Guy]

Rison lost in quarters to Hazen by 8

I knew they lost to Hazen but wasn't sure of the round.

[monster_island]

Based on last years performance, I wouldn't put 7 ahead of 3 or 5.

[Proud Buckaroo]

Rison returns 17 starters. I wouldn't put this year in the same boat as last years Rison. 

[Pick_DA_EAGLES]

I think it's hard not to put the 6 as the toughest conference, I'm not sure any other conference has as many teams make the semi's the last 10 years. Yes I know j.c. has DOMINATED the titles,  but I also know that's the ONLY team from the 8 to beat des arc in the playoffs. But anyway let's play football

i may agree with you pick. In the 6 typically DA, hazen, and carlisle are tuff tuff and you have to beat em all to win the conference. Carlisle not as stout as they have been but then here comes mccrory and brinkley. Maybe not the best team but the tuffest conference.

Ok, can you arrange a to get the top 4 teams from each conference to play each other and see who is the best? Yea,  I didn't think you could. So all we have to base this on is history, which has a way of repeating itself.

And if you can arrange the 4 team from each conference,  I will put my money on brinkley,  des arc, hazen, and mccrory.

[Proud Buckaroo]

I never, ever understand why people get so disgruntled over rankings/ratings.

[MomaLion]

We're all high strung and anxiously awaiting the official start of the season
