Setx fan

I've looked at the majority of the top teams. Some on Maxpreps. Some from other sources.

I don't know what's in that magazine other than what I've seen on this site. The information is available from several other sources way before the magazine comes out

Looking at rosters, seeing who the key players were and how many are returning.

I did some homework. Other factors are things like coaching, tradition, or how good the guys replacing the the players lost will be

If your opinion is based on one player then so be it

I haven't really said anything about the qb. I don't know why people think my opinion is heavily based on that. Woodville has several good players returning

Several factors. Mainly the key starters teams have coming back

Yea I'd expect a little better from "experts" but my bad, I guess

Region 3 1. Newton 2. DF 3. Woodville 4. West Rusk 5. Hooks 6. ND 7. Dekalb 8. Harmony 9. Troup 10. Anderson Shiro Statewide I don't know much other than the teams that normally show up at AT&T. Not my job

I got the Ville at 3 right now but I expect them to be right on Newton and DF heels.

Meaning it's pretty easy to be relatively right about most of your top picks. It's probably a safe bet to have Gunter, Newton, and DF in your top 5 just about every year since those schools normally make deep runs. Regardless of who wins it all your pics won't look too bad at the end of the year long as those schools make deep runs.

It's not too bad overall because there are some things that are just hard to get wrong. It is what it is. It's a computerized simulation.

What's your record coaching varsity against Woodville coach?

Hooks, New Diana, and West Rusk are all ranked ahead of Woodville

Computers. That explains. Most people are right most of the time if they pay attention at all. Region 3 is completely out order other than Newton and DF maybe though. You'll find out soon

Well if you did the state rankings also you definitely need to do some more homework. Region 3 is way out of order other than Newton and Daingerfield.

Believe that if you want. That man just gotta protect the brand. I don't knock that but if I'm being honest I don't think they know much more than the average fan.

That's goes back to what I was saying in the 3AD1 thread. They really don't have a clue. They just take a quick survey and go off that. The picks are not too bad in this case but the kids name is Jacob Hyder and it looked like he played olb/safety last year

Congrats Horns. Could be a big season for yall coming up

When did Woodville get a Jacob Hunter on the roster 😂

It's not about what they know. It's about the information they're being asked to provide. Which is probably mostly about their team rather than the district as a whole.

Of course they contact the coaches to ask them about their team. Doesn't mean they'll get a good overview of the district as a whole. They're just guessing mostly based on stats from last year which isn't always that bad but not completely accurate either

Yea, DCTF has no idea what they're talking about 😂. They probably have too big of an area to cover to really key in on D10 though

EC will be solid also. They have a sophomore qb returning who's probably as good as the AP QB. Neither team will have much up front far as I know. AP probably has the advantage on defense

That's why I don't really like the idea of bigger communities splitting into 2 different schools and competing athletically against smaller communities. It's really not a fair playing field since they get to share athletes and the UIL can't do much to regulate it. There will be more Palestine kids transferring over to WW in the next couple years
