Where in that statement is he saying he knows so much about every team in the state? I do agree with him that rankings mean nothing. They're just a beauty contest is all.

i beleive what point/center was trying to say, was that if he's saying all these sports writers know nothing but the teams they cover, that he should try start his own poll, because it isnt that easy of a job. I dont think the poll "creaters" get enough credit. Obviously everyones going to argue about the poll and that someone doesn't deserve a spot. But at least they give us an accurate guess at a poll.

considering there are coaches unable to correctly pronounce the last names of kids from other teams within their own district and region, i believe they know a bit more about some things than some coaches. but that is a rather pointless argument, because any time you broadstroke a category such as 'coaches' or 'sports writers' you are bound to lump morons and decent people into the same category - and that is never good.
in my mind, the poll was designed to give people a way to get some info on other teams they wouldn't normally see...for instance, if i'm not exactly up to date on if watford city or lamoure are still undefeated (depending on which corner of the state you are on), the polls are a good way to find that out (keeping in mind the polls were created before this whole interweb fad got some steam behind it).
