181pl Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Certainly not a fanboy of STA but they whooped SFA and went 14-1, won FL 7A, and dominated their schedule. They have pedigree. Why are teams like SFA and Bergen ahead of them in every poll? Especially SFA, who only played 9 games and lost head to head against STA. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massey doesn't even have STA or BC in their top 25 and has SFA 18..but they have 11 Texas teams in their top 25. now that is a joke.. lol 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ararar Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 I asked this question multiple times during the season.Pollsters just go by scores they don’t actually watch a team and it’s dynamics 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rankings lists are meaningless (there are no polls). So, when discussing teams, we shouldn't be referencing rankings as a means of talking about things like strength of schedule.

Sammyswordsman Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 The polls are just plain LAZY. None of them had the Washington team on their radar. Only crowd sourced Tiers have relevance. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thinking on St. Francis Academy was their complete domination of De LaSalle (agree not the best De LaSalle team ever) and the road win at IMG Academy. Not passing out excuses, but SFA seemed to wear down in the second half against STA. Don't think they were up for the heat and humidity that day. They also changed quarterbacks after that game with the sophomore playing each game after that. As I have stated several times on this board, the only thing holding SFA back is coaching. With that being said, in my final poll I jumped STA over the team that they lost to as I felt that if the game was played today, STA would win. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ga96 Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Just a reminder these rankings are all opinion based and are never accurate. Its a guess mixed with biased opinions and some analytics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a guess mixed with biased opinions and some analytics. Of course, but, the general masses see them as gospel. Most of us on here take a deeper dive into what makes these rankings and even teams in the rankings click, where the casual USA Today reader just takes what they printed in their paper as whats what. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atticus Finch Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 Only has offers from UConn and Temple. A good example of why offer lists on Rivals and 24/7 are mostly bogus. He didn't sign in December because he didn't have an offer. UConn is awful but they hired a credible coach and so he should have a chance to play a lot.

He's playing at the level he should be at and I don't recall anybody saying otherwise. This is funny coming from the guy who overrates every single Louisiana player and actually argued that the right use for the 4th overall pick in the NFL Draft is as a glorified scat back.

Nolebull813 Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 Zion Turner has played against, and beaten more top teams than any Louisiana QB in the last quarter century. No team in Louisiana has even played teams as highly nationally ranked as STA has in the last 4 years. Not just out of state, but in state as well. For example, STA has played 6 teams ranked higher than the highest ranked team (Baton Rouge Catholic) has played against. Catholic’s schedule was so bad that the team they beat in the state title game would have been the 7th highest opponent for STA this past year.
