In all seriousness....top 8 won't be easy

I'd go:

1. VC
2. Fairland
3. FU
4. Warren
5. Unioto
6. Miami Trace
7. Athens
8. Chillicothe

... Athens didn't play a game this week - hard to move them up 2 spots ... sure would have been the week for Oak Hill to have played that game vs Wheelersburg - could have been a big move for the Oaks with a "W" over the Burg ... Chillicothe went 1-1 with that loss to Vinton County and then a W over East Clinton ... the ranking of the top 25 is getting interesting LOL ...

My prediction is there's going to be a new sheriff in town for Week#6 and they go by the name VINTON COUNTY!!!!!!

I think it's going to be tough to drop Fairland for losing to a very talented D1 school on the road. Not sure that anyone in the top 8 has played a schedule as tough as Fairland. Huntington High, Huntington Prep B, Chaminade-Julianne, Sugar Creek Garaway, Hilliard Bradley. And they still have Athens coming up at the Beast of the South East.

That why I said "I'd"

I'd have Oak Hill either 9 or 10

Fairfield Union keeps playing better and better and they get the transfer PG after 1 more game. Will be interested to see if there is a strain or if they keep rolling!

Who said you cant move up without playing? Its better to be idle, than lose. Duh. Lol

[biggdowgg]

No way you can drop fairland out of the number one spot for losing to a d1 team the caliber of Hilliard.

This was a great test for the dragons and I think it's great they took on a tough d1 school it will only help them.

Just,my opinion , I'm not on the committee.

... SEE ! this is how the ORIGINAL battle of the Elite 8 (yours) and MY alternative to the Elite 8 began back in the the "huddle" days ! ...

[93Bulldog]

If the No. 8 team is 6-0 & No. 9 team is 6-0. And the 8th losses three games while no. 9 is idle - of course they'd jump up. So based on that theory alone, teams who dont play can move up ... but it goes both ways, a team below could have a stellar week and jump the idle team too. All should be considered by the committee. Lol

[93Bulldog]

Btw, I'd put the vikes No. 1.

[biggdowgg]

I'm sure "quality" wins will come i, play on this week's one and two.

[93Bulldog]

Id like to see an alternative elite 8 for fun, including Morgan, fort frye & meadowbrooke. Lol

Had they lost by 17 or less I'd agree but they lost by 22 and therefore must drop to #2

... Fairland NEEDED to take on a team the caliber of Hilliard Bradley - D1/with size/with perimeter shooters/ in a hostile environment on the road/ having had to travel 3 hours to get there /vs a team which is now 10-1 ... the Dragons NEEDED to put their SEOhio talent up against the quality of teams Above the Lancaster-Dixon Line ... the coaching staff needed film/video against a more talented team to see how the Dragons can improve - they have that now ... they have areas to work on now for the rest of the season ...

... tough week of rankings coming up later today ... AND the beatings are beginning already !!! LOL ..

[pfloyd]

... Hilliard Bradley will venture down Below the Lancaster-Dixon Line 2/14/17 to take on Logan ... will be interesting to see how THAT game turns out - hard to wait to have to see whether the 22 point loss by Fairland was a "good" loss but we will see ... Athens will be playing Fairland this coming Saturday while Vinton County takes on Logan Tuesday night ... both will be good games to evaluate where all 4 of those teams stand in relation to each other , the Elite 8 and the other top 20 teams I've seen ... a good week of hoops coming up !!!

[biggdowgg]

I've tried to find hilliards schedule to see who they have played and how badly they have beaten their opponents ,am I missing it on here?
