As I said BEFORE I know Central's schedule is weak. I was referring to some of the teams ranked ahead of them in the poll.@MC Rockets Are you serious??? The only real competition on the schedule is Carol City and Booker T. Washington. Central's schedule solid 8 doesn't even compare to the likes of Carol City, Northwestern, Jackson, Columbus, Southridge, Booker T. Washington, American Heritage and St. Thomas
-
I'm not overly disappointed but I am shocked. It wasn't like Central was going to be in the hunt for national title anyway with that 8 game schedule. Like I told Jim Halley Central's 8 is a lot better than most 10.
-
My thoughts too.Y'all are one of the 8 bubble teams, y'all will be in the top 25 if u get by BTW, expecially if they come in undefeated
-
Kinda figured that. And I can't argue.
-
Looks like Central will get the snub in USA Today. Oh well...life goes on.
-
In my opinion BG should get #1. They are the two time defending MNC. But won't be surprised to see STA get the top spot. As far as who gets left out. Of the six teams as much as I hate to admit...Central. Just looking how loaded the other teams are, not saying Central isn't loaded either but if I compare the other polls, Central is ranked lower than all six left.Who you think gets number 1 and who gets left out?
-
After comparing the two other national polls that are out, I'm a bit concerned about Central making top 5.the 5 that you mentioned is dead on accurate
I totally forgot about Cedar Hill. So you have six teams: STA, BG, IMG, Greyson, Central, and CHill vying for five remaining spots. Who gets left out?
-
You're putting way to much emphasis on this. It's just on factor for preseason ranking. Not everything. Returning starters, transfers, etc. all play a part in it.I hear you...you are basically saying (but not really saying) it is a psychological factor for pre-season or even early regular season polls. If that is the case and teams and coaches know that then wouldn't it be wise to leave your starters in the whole game in a spring game?
I'm serious though ...We should start a new topic with spring/preseason results of games and jamborees. Wouldn't it be easier to make our preseason rankings?
-
For preseason positioning it's a factor.What about when a team takes the field and holds a scrimmage versus itself. Does that count against them if both the Offense and Defense look bad?
-
They dropped in every poll after that loss. Putting polls together are not needed for spring games. Waaay too early. But again whenever you take the field you're evaluated in some way.It obviously does in that Maxpreps Human poll. If that is the case for that human poll...Hell, we may as well start putting together a National poll based on spring scrimmages and jamborees!
-
Look at the link I just posted and you will see it's not just Dallas Jackson.Didn't he say both should count?
-
It's not just Dallas Jackson. See the link I just posted to further my point.So you are siding with Dallas Jackson on this one?
-
Computer vs Human poll.Here is a link to Maxpreps Week 9/2/2015 Regional Computer Polls for 2015:
Notice IMG in the South is #1 and (last week - #1) as well. I remember other National polls did not affect IMG as well.. A few people in forums were discussing that they were curious how IMG was not dropped after losing to AHP and it was generally concluded that it was a preseason game.
Notice the poll below is the first poll after KOC weekend. Notice where IMG was before and where they were after. Don't tell me preseason doesn't count.

I have had numerous conversations with the former high school football editor at Maxpreps along with Dallas Jackson and Jim Halley of USA today himself. Spring games are taken into account as well. That’s one of the criteria for ranking most teams in the preseason along with other factors.Can you reference where you heard or read that?
Does this include Spring games and Jamborees as well?
-
Yes that was the case and we both know Greenwood, IN wouldn't last 1 qtr with Central, but it is what it is. No two polls will ever be the same and you're not going to please everyone.The USA Today Poll
....That is one poll.That is the same poll that had a team from Westwood, MA at #24 in their final poll and a team from Greenwood, IN at #17 - ahead of Miami Central in their final poll. 
I'll just leave it at that. -
James is absolutely correct. Although it's considered a preseason game and doesn't count on the W-L record it has been confirmed by multiple media outlets that you are evaluated every time you take the field.actually the IMG national ranking took a big hit last year, they started in top 5 but after losing to AHP they dropped down to 19th in USA today poll
-
It might be.potentially game of the year between Central and BTW if BTW were to get by the first 2
-
Yes they will. Two top 6 teams to began. Can you imagine them winning both those games, then potential top 5 game vs MC? Wow!yea I couldn't believe they were that high either, but they will get their chance to prove thereselves early
-
Yes I just posted a similar story. Surprised to see BTW that high. But USA today is known for their shocking rankings.Both teams crack top 10 at #6 & #8 respectively in preseason USA today national poll
-
USA today is down to their final 5 preseason teams. Who do you think will get those spots? My guess in no particular order: STA, BG, IMG, Greyson Ga., Miami Central. The final 5 teams won't be released until tomorrow night starting at 10 pm EST. Here the link:
