    I just finished my mock alignment...here's my cut offs


    Class 6A 2255-Up 202 schools
    Class 5A 1435-2254 199 schools
    Class 4A 715-1434 173 schools
    Class 3A 345-714 163 schools
    Class 2A Div. 1 261-344 85  schools
    Class 2A Div. 2 195-260 87  schools
    Class A Div. 1 149-194 77  schools
    Class A Div. 2 100-148.5 79 schools


    Mind you I included the 17 new football playing schools for 2012 realignment as well to make it a more realistic projection of what we'll see in 2012.  Division 1/Division 2 will stay...you can't take 4 teams to the playoffs and have just one Division.....season would go past Christmas...I believe this will happen in 2012...also look for an interesting first round twist w/the district champions...

    Rey I am talking about high school football in Texas at the 5A level.  The difference between 20 and 48 is minimal....check out Padilla Poll or Jerry's ratings and you'll see that kind of split when dealing with teams of that ilk.

    As for names, typos etc...it happens, sometimes coaches handwritting just isn't real good.  I had several typos on team capsules I wrote because I couldn't read the coaches chicken scratch LOL

    I've said I think 48 is a little low for WB....not as low as being made out to be but yes it's low.  I'd probably have WB as a team in the high 20s to start the season if I did my own top 50....but the difference between #48 and #20 in Texas HS Football is very very small....a team ranked 20th in the state in pretty much any poll would be a 3-4 point favorite over the #48 team in the state.  That's basically a pick em game. It's quite all right to diagree with the ranking, but regardless if we do get that ranking wrong I don't think it takes away from the fact that the magazine is a good source of information.

    As for the overall quality of the magazine I am very proud of what a very small team of writers was able to accomplish, despite many, many challenges. Writers not turning in work timely or at all, scrambling to find quality people to write capsules etc. Considering that the majority of our crew works full time jobs not involving HS Football, considering we were all a bunch of rookies and considering we were still able to complete a product comparable to DCTF in a lot of ways in our first try is IMO a minor miracle.  I think next year's edition will be even better and in subsequent years the product will continue to get better and better and if it doesn't then we shouldn't be doing one in the first place.
