I’m assuming that game is in Texas? Because, heaven forbid, a TX power travel. 🤷🏼‍♂️

This year is a different story. I was referring to last year. Last year DeSoto was a top 5 national team. I know you rate teams higher if they play an OOS opponent, but whether they do or not does not determine how good said team is. Don't get me wrong, I love that a lot more teams are playing other regional powers, but ranking a team based SOLELY on their schedule is not the way to do it. I think DV will be more competitive against SFA. I would even venture to say they bet them. SFA is not the juggernaut they once were. Still talented, but not the same as IMG anymore.

Oh hell no! I think you misunderstood me. There might be only 5 or 6 teams NATIONALLY that could play MD within 21 points. And we were talking about last year. Last year's DeSoto squad was one of those 6 (last year only).

If it's the #1 team handling the #2 team it does. DeSoto dominated DV last year. Also, MD would beat all but maybe 5 or 6 teams by 21+ points. That only constitutes a top 7 (which DS was a part of last year). What about the other 3 teams in the top 10? Are they not worthy of a top 10 ranking? I'd like to know the other 9 schools you think would come within 21 of Mater Dei??? Obviously, SJB, BG and IMG are the three I think you would name. Who are the other 6 that should be top 10?

Not if DeSoto has everybody coming back. They were definitely worthy of a top 10 ranking last year. They destroyed DV.

Because MP usually follows suit with Calpreps.

The Hun School won't be a pushover for Lipscomb. Now, the Lipscomb team from two years ago would've destroyed them. If Lipscomb gets back to form then it's a blowout. How do they look this year?

Not last year for DeSoto. They handled DV pretty easily. They were worthy.

Interesting game, none the less.

I just saw that Murfreesboro,TN Oakland is playing at Anna,TX on August 30. Is that a misprint? lol

Buford/SJP would be a good one. Make it happen, GSB.

Baylor and McCallie are good teams (top 100ish nationally), but they would get smoked by the elite top 20-25 teams. Maybe they can get there in the future, but not right now. They are private schools with money. Oakland is the only public that can challenge them these days.

First off, I got that from a Tennessee site that isn’t always accurate. On the other hand, McCallie always schedules a couple OOS teams every year that will challenge them. McCallie is an all boys boarding school with a lot of money. It’s possible they could be helping out with the travel expenses. McCallie is usually pretty good. Oak Ridge will have their hands full.

It looks like they are playing the return game with Christian Bros in St. Louis. Plus, they scheduled The First Academy. (I've never even heard of them?) This is according to CoachT. Knox Catholic taking on Winter Haven,FL and Baylor playing Coconut Creek,FL. I see a California(Oak Ridge) team is coming to Chattanooga to play McCallie. I hope that's El Dorado Hills,CA Oak Ridge. Interesting game if it is. Kind of surprised Brentwood Acad. isn't taking on an OOS opponent this year. They should be a lot better this year. Still a tough in state schedule, though.

Do McCallie or Baylor have anything brewing? They usually schedule a couple of OOS games.
