MC Rockets Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 USA Today just released their preseason rankings. Usually I don't have too much of a problem with their poll, but this bad! Wait til you see who's number #1. Your thoughts? https://usatodayhss.com/2019/2019-super-25-preseason-high-school-football-rankings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zulu1128 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Any Top 25 without John Curtis is simply not credible LOL. In all seriousness though...would have to agree that's not their best work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammyswordsman Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 DLS loves this sh*t. Plus STA traditionally loses their first game when ranked #1.

MC Rockets Posted August 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 I am a Florida guy, but I cannot rock with this one...AT ALLL!! Too many other deserving programs. MD, NS, SJB, SJC, DVille...Hell, they could have put SFA at #1 and it would have been a better choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
181pl Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Yawn. Separate these out into two categories: Actual Traditional Schools: 1. Duncanville 2. Central (FL) 3. Lakeland 4. Hoover 5. North Shore 6 Sagurro 7. Central (AL) 8. Narbonne 9. Pickerting Central 10. Centennial Club teams: 1. St. Frances 2. MD 3. STA 4. SBJ 5. IMG 6. St. Johns College 7. DeMatha 8. Bishop Gorman 9. DLS 10. BC 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Manuel Douglas remains unavailable until the Los Angeles Unified School District gives him clearance to return. He was given a temporary reassignment of his duties on May 31. The LAUSD announced last month that it had launched an investigation into an allegation of academic misconduct at the Harbor City high school and that three staff members were reassigne https://www.latimes.com/sports/highschool/varsity-times/la-sp-vti-narbonne-summer-passing-20190622-story.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZone Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 If STA had North Shore's QB and RBs USA Today might could justify that #1. They don't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a slightly lower range but if someone like you who is a loyal STA fan knows that is too high we know they definitely made a mistake STA a talented team but with question marks at QB they have no business in top 5 nationally much less number 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZone Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Watch out, John Curtis. We coming! Rummel QB will be a stud in 2 years......didn't play much last year at Jesuit (hurt), but he's getting ready. Has a couple nice FCS offers so far. Good size 6-3 220 lbs.

MC Rockets Posted August 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 I feel this was partly due to boost ESPN kickoff weekend ratings. USAT is the poll they use for their games. To have: 1. STA vs DLS 4. SJB vs 20. DeMatha 6. SFA vs 15. MC and 14. Narboone 6 ranked teams playing in two days on their network is nice for ratings. $$$$$$ But what do I know? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always been about their 300 and not the games. I remember back in 2013 it was #1 vs. #2 BTW vs MC and they had two teams from Kansas on that night all because one school had a top OL recruit. At that point I knew it was wasn't about the matchups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
