I think Gibbons is a little high. Yes, they beat Wake Forest, but it wasn't the same Wake Forest team they had the last three years. But, we'll find out more as the season goes on.

I certainly think west Forsyth is a top 10 team. But this poll only has 8 so it’s fine.

Interesting that Highschool OT or WRAL has the Raiders at least number 1 in the east, but here at 5? Raiders are really being underestimated this year thus far by many sports outlets. This is probably the best team they have fielded since the 1998 team.

Go Raiders!

Can't put them in front of Myers Park. MP destroyed them last year. Vance spank Myers Park. East Forsyth was the 4A State Champs. I guess you can put them in front of Mallard Creek? If you base it off of last years early exit. Where do you think they should be?

Number #1 of course. I actually think east is suspect on defense. The best 3 teams in the state are in Charlotte and the next 4 in any order are the two teams from Forsyth county and the two hated rivals from the sac.

Like I said, THIS YEARS TEAM is probably the best Richmond has fielded since the 1998 State Championship team. I'll leave it at that.

Go Raiders!

I am curious to know why you think that. How do you come to that conclusion when you have played one team that lost its head coach a week before the game and Anson. Best team in 20+ years based on playing that?

Because we know the players we have and the talent. Just like Alabama beat up on Duke but we know they good. In my opinion we don't have a defense to compare to 98.

Did you just compare Richmond to Alabama?
Not at all.... You saying why do you you good you haven't played anybody... Alabama didn't play anybody Clemson didn't play anybody and they both will play scrubs later in non conference. They know they are good because of the talent on the field. We know we pretty good because of the talent we see on the field regardless who we are playing.

He didnt say " pretty good"...,He said best team in 20 years which includes a state title team. Alabama and Clemson have won the last 4 national titles. Richmond hasnt been to a regional final in 11 years....

I get Clemson and Alabama fans know how good their teams are. I am trying to figure out how Richmond fans have determined it.

Because we see the talent on the field just like I said. You see a final score and who we played. We see all summer 7 on 7. It's not hard to see the talent difference is different this year.

Well the next 2 weeks will b a test....lose next week and all this weeks ranting about "best in 20 yrs" will be for null, if u do that u will pretty much go undefeated. Oh dont 4get that last game and dont sleep on SC...they maybe the actual best team in that conference.

Correct... Richmond just like everyone else we are only as good as our next game. As of right now skirts are not on our level. But lots can change from now till then. Either way it's one of the best games in NC.

And why would you be so sure of that with 1 1/2 wins
over very very sub par teams while Scotland has played
far better teams and shut them down.
