apologies for CFB post on HS Friday night.
We have talked about preseason HS rankings as a guess at best and Edgy will move teams all over the place the first few weeks based on performance and what he learns...My question is while Penn State v. Appalachian St week 1 was just a snap shot and 1 game, why are CFB pollsters so reluctant to reassess their preseason guesses the first few weeks. If you win you keep your ranking. Illini down 4 after 3 to “#10” in the country confirms that in a sport like HS or CFB with unreal turnover you can’t predict a top 25.
