Some of those who voted for HCV as the #1 team must have put BSM down really low because with 9 first-place votes (+3 on HCV) it's hard to imagine it being a 10 vote difference. It's an early season poll...things will change and the only time a #1 ranking matters is in mid-November.

I think I'll have to go to that.

I know the polls don't mean anything, but does the QRF play any factor in AA football?

Yeah, because if St. Mary's was ranked #1, then well, that would....uhmm...well...what would it do?

Is that an automatic advance to the state finals game?

I love seeing people get worked up over rankings.

"OMG! Did you see that baloney! The Chiefs are only #2 on ESPN Power Rankings! My god ...what kind of idiots.....!!!!!"

LOL.

only thing that matters is when they play each other.
I can not believe that two teams that should both be AAA play and St. Mary's gets beat by Shanley and they are not number #1.



ST. Mary's needs to man up like Shanley and go AAA.

Dang right! And Napoleon and Reeder and Beach need to man up and go to A or AA!

Why can't teams just man up? I think everyone should go up a division!

So why does St. Mary's need to man-up and not say Stanley or Valley City or Beulah or Turtle Mountain?

Tough call. I imagine the decision makers at St. Mary would need to ask themselves - what do we value more - winning our 5th title in 7 years in AA or competing against the big boys in AAA - would reaching the title game in AAA or even winning 1 (say once every 5 years? 10?) be a bigger achievement than continuing to dominate the field they are in? Similar scenario to what the Bison are in - winning FCS title 8 or trying to make a major bowl game less frequently. Stanley/VC/Beulah/Turtle Mountain haven't dominated their current division......why would they entertain moving up?

Why ST. Mary's REALLY.... they pull kids from a population of more than 73000 people.... I dont care that they only have x amount of boys....... really? Great Job St. Mary's you go down and dominate every year... with with schools who have populations of 2000 to 1000 people. Great Job... My son's Junior High Team is going to play 4th grade football team. We are going to kill them. It will be lots of fun.

Go Burro's. Great Job.

Valley never led against Beulah. Bismarck was up 35-7 against Beulah. So how does choking to Beulah make them equal with a team they beat head to head 41-10?

Talking about as of late...Valley City has played well and BSM has underachieved a bit...but what do the polls matter anyways? The play on the field matters most and the play in November as well.

So lets say the regular season was 16 games long, and VC continued its win streak....and finished 12-4, and STM ended up 6-10. You'd still be clinging to that one game? Yeahhhh but back in week 2..... !

FYI:
1.) what happens in week 2 doesn't trump the rest of the season's games
2.) polls don't matter in this case. they are for fun.
3.) if it makes ya feel better, in "my" poll, I have STM #2.
