The voters of this poll need to do better research, which I've said for a couple of years now. James Monroe being ranked ahead of Weir is laughable. Do the voters not remember the 63-22 thrashing Weir handed JM last season in the playoffs?

[Sources 10]

Weir is getting absolutely no respect in that poll. Very ridiculous.

[Willie 10]

BR, I wouldn't get too excited over these polls. Seems to me they have Bluefield ranked too high also. Weir was better then Bluefield last year, and I think they will be better this year also. These are my opinions, and I'm sticking to them....

[Sources 10]

I will say that Wayne and Weir should be ranked ahead of Bluefield right now based on what they have returning. A lot of that could change based on how the season unfolds.

[Bluefield_Rules 46]

I'm not getting excited, just discussing them since they're now out. I agree, Weir is most likely going to be better than Bluefield. As I've said on TSP, Wayne and Weir are #1 and #2 in AA going into the season. Bluefield should be no higher than #3 right now and at this point I'd put them at #4 behind Mount View as well based solely on potential. We'll have to see what the season brings...

[wvhighcountry 10]

If the coach at Mt View can keep his players out of trouble and under control they will be 1 or 2 by the end of the season. Being a Beaver fan I think they will be a 7 or 8 team.

[RenegadeFan 10]

i think the top 5 for AA should look like this

Wayne and Weir with the top two spots

followed by Mt. View at no. 3, with Bluefield no. 4 and someone at no. 5

 

whether it be, Ravenswood, JM, Keyser, or someone else

as its been said, the Daily Mail folks have not got a clue of how rankings should be

[beaverbaseball 10]

How many Starters does Wayne have returning?
