Consensus Week 6

[rc1963]

FWIW Here's the consensus rankings of the 4 polls I track

1 VM
2 DNH
3 SCC
4 Bellevue
5 WL
6 WS
7 WB
8 MEPO
9 I 35
10 SF
11 Wilton
12 Cascade


The Radio Iowa Poll is holding on to Wilton at #5, that's the only reason they appear here

The Register has Sumner F'burg above Bellevue (as well as I 35, MEPO and WB I get that they look good on paper and had a good win, but Bellevue looks great on paper and had a great win

I would for sure take Bellevue, WB, and Mepo over SF right now. Them and I-35 seem the closest, but I would take the other 3 any day.

I’m guessing radio iowa is holding onto Wilton bc their only loss is to 2A Benton who up until last Friday was undefeated?

I would agree that this makes them an above average, but a 2 TD win over a good (not great) Class A (albeit a rivalry game) and a weak win over a rather weak 2A. Their only real challenge was Benton, so I think strength of schedule really doesn't support a top 10 place. IMHO. I'm not saying they're a bad team, just not top 10.

I am anxious to see how they will stack up against Mepo next Friday. That will be a road game in a tough environment, so we will learn a lot about them.

Just going with my gut here, and maybe I have a chip against Wilton, pardon me if I do, but I'm going to predict Mepo by 2 TDs.

It will be a tough one from Wilton, but I've liked them in the district from the start, and I will just stay with that pick. If Mepo wins, that gives Wilton two losses, are they done? Will they need a lot of help? Maybe Somehow SK knocks off Mepo down the road (which very unlikely), but Wilton needs to win vs Mepo
