@Texasball Look where Venice is ranked. 
 

Look at the schedule and scores.  They are ranked for playing poor IMG team close.  Now look at the other games - just standard type HS teams staying close.

Those are the benefits of scheduling elite team(s). Do you really think DV would be a Top 5 team IN USA this season without that SFA game? NO WAY

This statement alone proves that national polls are Bogus!

It's true. If DV trounced Lake Ridge by 76 this season instead of beating a highly-ranked SFA, they wouldn't be ranked so high today. To be the best you need to beat the best.

DV established themselves as a legit top 10 team when they throttled DeSoto at their place. Their ranking improved even more when SFA started gelling later in season.

You mean the 2-loss DS that was upset by NC??

Per every TX HC I've spoken to it was a stunning upset. 

I’m no Texas expert. But my guess is that this was ‘stunning’ to the type of people that think Allen is still a relevant team. DeSoto was great last season and people still have that image in their mind, rather than going by what their eyes see this season.

You'll only be correct if NC wins a chip this season. I'd pick DS over them 9/10x.

NC has already beaten DS this season. Based on what do you think that DS would win the next 9 games in a row? This is where preconceived assumptions about teams bias one’s judgement, rather than assessing what actually happens on the field in the present day. Maybe DeSoto wins in a rematch but who knows. Based on how the 2 teams have objectively performed this season, it was not a stunning upset.

I spoke to all my TX coach clients about this. I formulated my opinion after digesting their feedback. “Fluke” was the word most often mentioned. If NC wins a Chip we’ll all be proven wrong. I’m 110% more confident in DS ability to win a Chip this season than NC.
