No complaints?

Is this a ranking of most deserving or more of a true top 10 power poll style?   I can’t see North Posey actually beating Castle in a real game.

Granted it was summer 11v11 scrimmages but I watched NP scrimmage BNL and North. (On film, didn’t get to attend)

I think NP vs Castle would be a good game. Not here to say you’re wrong (and we will never know) but I’d expect a very competitive game.

I like to think it's a blended version of a power poll combined with accomplishments. I try to think if the season ended today and we were deciding on seeding, how would I rate the teams. Kind of like the BCS model that combined many factors.

Example: North would probably beat Tell City and Forest Park, but I'd rather see these undefeated teams in a playoff than a two-loss North team.

I agree with this thinking. I hate the "Vegas would favor this 9-3 SEC team H2H vs an 11-1 or 12-0 other conference team" arguments. There should be some recognition for actually winning games and not hypothetical ones on paper.
