Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I don’t know if @V-Cats intended to do a postseason SWVA Top 10, but I think it might be a fun exercise to get rid of the “what now” bummer that always strikes after the championship games have been played and the footballs put away. Mine: (1) Bluefield (2) Union (3) Graham (4) Giles (5) Pulaski County (6) Marion (7) Chilhowie (8) Galax (9) Virginia (10) Richlands (yep, at 4-7) BlueRazor and BHS03 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a toss up for me on 1 and 2. Would loved to see the two play. As for Richlands, I see posts about them being one playmaker away from beating Union. I just don't see it. What some fail to realize is the rivalry aspect of those two games. Richlands is stuck in Union's heads almost as bad as they are in Grahams heads. That Richlands defense was pretty good though.

Plywood_King 510 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 1. Union 2. Bluefield 3. Graham 4. Giles 5. Marion 6. Pulaski County 7. Grayson County 8. VA High 9. Chilhowie 10. Ridgeview I'd also give an honorable mention to Fort, who very quietly had a solid season, after manning up and moving up an enrollment classification.

All those close losses, especially the one to Union in Round 1 where I still believe Richlands would have won the game were it not for Mance refusing to run clock while nursing that lead in the 4th. In terms of talent alone, they should probably be slotted in the slot below Marion. But those 7 losses... Jason 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever seen a team ranked in any poll ever that only won 36% of their games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When that team loses to 6 teams that have a combined 5 regular season losses, 2 of which play in a higher classification, 1 of which won a state championship in its classification, then yes, the rules should be skewed when considering that team’s strength.

I'm well aware of who they lost to, but a loss is a loss. And 7 losses is 7 losses. If you're power ranking teams on who you think are the best then that logic can be used. But I've never seen a team with a 36% win percentage ever get the benefit of the doubt in an end of the year poll. Hokiebird7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got chastised harshly for this strategy during the season, so I didn't vote anymore. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
