I think the SEC network should start covering Virginia Tech, West Virginia and UVA. It's only fair.
While we are at it.
Nickelodeon should air NFL games.
Burger King should serve Big Mac's.
Coke should make Pepsi.
CMT should air rap music.
$5 bills should be worth $1000.
Winter should be summer.
NFL Network should cover European soccer.
 
 
 
 

(1) Bluefield
(2) Bluefield
(3) Union
(4) Graham
(5) Ridgeview
(6) Pulaski
(7) Richlands
(8) Abingdon
(9) Chilhowie
(10) Galax
And if any dingus or troll fails to rank Bluefield, I will edit this poll and insert “Bluefield” in the highest available slot to cancel out the sheer stupidity of failing to rank them.

I don't agree with the coverage area and therefore will create my own. 
My new poll is: 
1. IMG Academy (FL)
2. Mater Dei (CA)
3. Colquitt County (GA)  Go Rush!
4. Allen (TX)
5. Maryville (TN)
6. Greeneville (TN)
7. Salem
8. Oscar Smith
9. Bluefield
10. Riverheads

He did the same thing last week and said something to the effect of “if we’re including Bluefield why don’t we include Tennessee teams” 
it’s not an oversight at this point, it’s just a spiteful misuse of a vote 
 

I was willing to chalk it up to an oversight, but are you saying that you intentionally omitted Bluefield?  If legitimately think that Bluefield is not one of the top 10 teams in SWVA, you know nothing about high school football in SWVA, and should have your poll disqualified.  Bluefield hung 31 in the first half on your #5 team, BTW.

Having seen two polls come through that have not ranked Bluefield, do those polls actually count for tabulation purposes?  I would argue that they shouldn't.  It would be like an AP pollster omitting Alabama.

You can also go to www.coalfieldsports.com and click on the team tab and under most teams (not quite all yet) we have radio links for the teams. Along with rosters, schedules and records. 

The actual production of the game also made it tough to watch. Between about 2/3 of the action being shown from the endzone field level and the announcers acting like teenage girls it was mostly unwatchable.

And we’re back! 
We should all know the rules by now, but if you are new, here ya go:
 1. One point per correct pick.
2. There will be a Game of the Week (GotW), with 3 points awarded for correctly picking the winner, and an additional 2 points up for grabs if you guess the correct combined score as well. There may be dual GotWs, so there are points to be had here.
3. Each weekly winner will auto-qualify for the SWVA Sports Pick'Em Playoffs
4. There will be a weekly running total kept to settle the "wild card" spots. This also seeds those who have won a week as well. 
 5. Tiebreakers are as follows:
     A: Correct GotW pick
     B: Closest to combined score, without going over.
    😄 If both go over, closest to the correct score.
    😧 If same score is picked, there will be a number picked 1-10. The number will be flowed through a reliable 3rd party poster (GMan), and whoever is closest to that number wins. We've never came down to tiebreaker D, but I guess it's good to have it before it happens. 
 
I will post the week 1 games on Monday, August 13th. That gives everyone 2 weeks to think on their week one picks. Remember, someone locks themselves into the playoffs in week 1. 
  
 Good luck this year!!! 

Then you know who they beat last year, that they’re the defending champions, and are expected to have a very strong, potentially state title team again this year. Probably deserve a top 10 ranking. 

I feel like any vote in this poll that doesn’t include Bluefield should be discarded 

To be honest, I had to google who he was...found this very interesting article ... you possibly could be right...

Below is an article on the Marshall BB coach...great read... he certainly believes in the way he coach's a game...

That gives me another reason to vote for Morgan Griffith.

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)
 

What an outstanding young man....congratulations on being named WV HS player of the year. I hope Collier is being looked at by some colleges...this young man has character, skills and the heart of a champion.   
Also, big thanks to WVMETRONEWS on the FREE outstanding football championship broadcast. 
TOP RATE Broadcast....Thank YOU!!!

Yea a few guys were just watching, but I thought he had the best shot at making a play from the position he was in. As a fan, I appreciate effort and heart a hell of a lot more than pure talent, and I didn’t see it there, other than that which Edwards showed refusing to go down.

On the podcast you said you couldn't root for Tazewell or Graham in the playoffs, so why be mad that he's not rooting for Richlands to make the playoffs?
