2. Ar-We-Va
3. Don Bosco
4. Coon Rapids-Bayard
5. Turkey Valley

This came from Jeff Linder from the Gazette this morning on Twitter. Thoughts?
 
Pretty certain this is the most idiotic thing I have seen on any social media website, Fremont Mills isn't anything special, Ar-We-Va's "high flying" offense is completely overrated and don't even get me started about that defense they run. DB has a lot of studs coming back from 2015 and they are eager for the state title to return to the real title town (Gilbertville). Can't wait to see the Dons back in the Dome! This Jeff doesn't know football like this Jeffy does.
1. Don Bosco
2. Central Elkader
3. Turkey Valley
4. Janesville
5. Fremont Mills
6. Coon Rapids-Bayard
7 HL-V
8. Glidden Ralston
9. Ar-We-Va
10. Northwood Kensett

It's really not funny anymore, Jeffy. Well for that matter it never was. It's quite obvious you arent from Gilbertville or anywhere near. I think you really fouled up when you said you booked a hotel room for the games at the dome when Gilbertville is 20 minutes from the dome. I think it's hilarious that Luke called out a Bosco high schooler for having a fake account, but he wont expose where this grown man (more than likely) is actually from. Keep up the good work tho because you're killing it here. If by some crazy chance you are a 3rd grader from Gilbertville just trying to have some fun please stop because I will make sure your parents ground you when we figure out who you are.

Kind of shocked Linder didn't include Central, Elkader in his top 5 since they're in the eastern part of the state. But hey, they're his rankings and not mine.

Don't really like to do rankings, especially with football season being over eight months away, but one team I am going to keep an eye on in 2016 will be Midland, Wyoming. 6-4 team this past season that made the playoffs, surrendering losses to Elkader, HLV and two losses to Turkey Valley. They return A LOT, including Alex Martens at quarterback, who threw for over 2500 yards and 30 touchdowns in his junior season.

My opinion, But who knows maybe the teams dropping down will be contenders. AGWSR could be a contender, I guess we will find out this coming season.

I would like to see the full list of teams that are going to be in the class before we can really speculate on what the top 5/10 would look like for the 2016 preseason. A lot of he said she said about teams supposedly going up and coming down. Until the full official list and districts get released might be best to just hold off on a lot of the preseason stuff.
 
Here's what I got high90school for teams playing 8man in 2016-17

AGWSR, Ar-We-Va, Audubon, Bedford, Bishop-Garrigan, Boyer Valley, Belmond-Klemme, CAM, Central Elkader, Central City, Cedar Valley Christian, Charter Oak-Ute, Clarksville, Clay Central-Everly, Colo-Nesco, Coon Rapids-Bayards, Don Bosco, Dunkerton, East Mills, East Union, Easton Valley, English Valleys, Essex, Exira-EHK, Fremont Mills,
Glidden-Ralston, GTRA, Harris-Lake Park, HLV, Iowa Valley Marengo, Janesville, Kee High, Kingsley-Pierson, Lamoni, Lenox, Lone Tree, Melcher-Dallas, Meskwaki Settlement, Midland, Mormon Trail GG, Moravia, Murray, Northwood-Kensett, North Iowa , Remsen St. Marys, Riceville, River Valley, Rockford, Seymour-Moulten Udell, Sidney, Springville, Stanton
Tripoli, Tri-County, Turkey Valley,Twin Cedars, WACO, Wayne, West Bend-Mallard, West Harrison, West Central, Woodbine

BK is the only school I have heard that is not confirmed but an IHSAA director told me himself they were looking at coming down to 8man.
 
Unless Belmond-Klemme has had a mass exodus of students since last fall, I can't see how they could seriously petition to play 8-man. I have them projected as a smaller Class 1A school at 162 BEDS, a far cry from 115.
