Idk how anyone can say hs is not a national race when we have national rankings everywhere. Once you rank teams nationally you have a national race. We crown a mythical hs champ every year as the best team based off the national rankings
Yea in terms of attendance most in state games trump national games as the teams in state fans can get to the games
But again tho most big in state games will not mean much to national rankings
So either national rankings need to go and put more emphasis on the state scene or the national rankings have to mean something and we have a national race for the championship
