KV beats teams 20-25 in my opinion see how they do against #17 and #18 soon. They have bene compettive in games last few weeks before letting it get away. I would say, also #13 if they played.

There's quite a few teams ranked below 12 that beat the teams ranked at 12 and 13. Hell, Highland beat the team ranked at 12. Was also a 9 point game until a late defensive score on 4th and 12 gave the Warriors a defensive TD to make it 31-30. I would agree with you on KV as well. I think they're better than the 0-6 record indicates but it was just tough to "reward" their strength of schedule and ignore the 0 in the win column (for the purpose of this exercise).

no doubt about it

For what it's worth, the Bombers would come in at #11 in this here poll if they fit the "Region 1" criteria I used for the poll. Lol

The Rensselaer Bombers +7.5 (according to Sagarin) on a neutral field vs Lake Central?! I like those odds for the boys down there in Jasper County! Lol

Valpo... As we said before, this poll is rewarding teams who win (even though I couldn't resist this week and moved Valpo up despite the loss).
Although, I don't know if I HATE the Bombers +18.5 on a neutral field vs the Vikings THIS YEAR; I will say I like you guys +7.5 vs LC way more. Lol
