After much consideration and thought...mixing in the "professional's opinions" with my personal opinion, this is the brain-child Top 20 statewide 2A going into tonight's games.
Weighted: Their polls 75%, my opinion 25%. In my personal opinion, the top 12 teams are within 1 score of each other and any one of them are more than capable of reaching the championship game:
