Rugby had a good quarter vs Bishop Ryan and has been stomped since then and Velva has played 2 very weak teams plus Southern Mclean who is okay and they are ranked 5th. Meanwhile Rugby is still receiving votes!!! And bishop ryan beat standing rock by a bigger margin than Velva did and played Southern Mclean same as Velva and Bishop Ryan doesn't receive any votes. I'm pretty sure they only vote by who was good last year and historically strong names like Larry Sandy's Velva club and think they deserve a top 5 spot without looking at scores, injuries etc. AA and AAA polls seems pretty accurate and see movement but the A poll is always the same no matter what from week to week it seems.

Park River
Larimore
Rugby
Harvey
Langdon
Lakota
The top 2 are in a class of their own.
The middle two will round out the playoff teams.
And the bottom two will be the region's Vanderbilt and Purdue.

Can you send me a link to where you found that out? This is the first I'm hearing of only 3 teams per region.

Velva probably is in the right spot then. I think I would put Larimore, Killdeer and WGN over Northern cass.lovwatchingsports wrote:madseason wrote:Has Velva beat a team like Larimore to knock them out? PRFL Carrington Hazen Larimore Killdeer Velva.
Larimore, Killdeer, WGN all are good teams, they lost to good teams. But they have a loss, While VS and Northern Cass are undefeated. That goes a long ways with people doing the polls that do not know the teams very well. Velva did beat Ryan (36 - 6) who was pick to win the region. Minot Daily had a big write up which people saw. Relax, enjoy the season. Goal is to make the playoffs. Then make a run. Remember Velva won the state championship one year as a three seed.

Someone on here mentioned a lack of parity in Class A football. Last year, there were 5 undefeated teams playing in week 6. Hazen, Carrington, Oakes, Killdeer, and Rugby. There are only two this year. That should indicate a more level playing field, or at least more evenly skilled teams.
