I've never been a fan of teams with losses being ranked above teams with no losses at the beginning of the season..... basically riding along on last seasons results.....

I agree a little. But, let's be honest, there's no way Kings Mountain, Hibriten, Concord or Erwin should be ahead of Crest. Crest lost to a State Championship contender in South Point. You can't punish them too much. These polls aren't too accurate anyway until you get to around Week 6 or later. There's too many schools to get an accurate assessment of each team at the beginning of the year.

When 1 loses to 4, they are not going to drop that far. It's still early.

I think if you lose, you drop and you work your way back up. Just because you *should* be there on paper doesnt mean squat to me. Anyway, just my opinion,

Think you have a point. Everyone assumes this Crest team will just bounce back and win going forward but they haven't proven anything yet.
