watch them live at field level and you will know that those guys are mashers on the o-line...possibly best in state with a horse of a RB. Depending on draw, they could easily be a semi-final team in 8A as they have most of the QF team back from last year...at least the most important ones.

I like HC moving up despite the loss.... That's a crafty move. BR big leap is fine by me too. I think a little of "wait and see" teams like HC and BR cemented themselves as legit this week.

Maybe Phillips is too high now. At least I won't have to pound on the table during our long lunches anymore. I can whisper it as a sweet nothings suggestion...

"Beth my love, flip Naz and BR, then drop PA to 10, and scoot everyone up a spot.... See how pretty that looks? Perfect!"

Catch.... CATCH.... WAKE UP CATCH!!! You fell asleep dude. Must've been dreaming too.

I think so.... They played well at Glenbard West, and impressed everyone in attendance... why MUST they drop? First test, and they more than represented themselves. The other ranked teams that played GW didn't keep it within 11. Maybe don't improve in rank, but don't fall either. JMHO

Isn't that the point of the DSR you can move up with a quality LOSS.
Or simply not move down after a quality loss.

My issue this week is that there are some pretty good looking 6-0 teams out there and here we have a 5-1 team that everyone wants to push up because they lost well.

I guess a lot of it depends on what one personally thinks the rankings should reflect. Are these your top 10 teams? Or are they the 10 who are having the best season? If the latter is the case, then a lost definitely send you down the list… But if it's the former, and #2 beats #3, #3 can just stay #3.
