Wow there is not much room for advancement in D-3 this season. 6 teams are still undefeated with the Oak Hill forfeit win.

You are right it does look tough to advance in the ranking's. I did notice however from last week to this week Peebles was the only top 10 team that had an increase in total overall votes, the rest actually decreased...maybe by the end of the year we can move up a notch or two that way, that is asuming we stay unbeaten.

Peebles has a good shot at advancement because if you notice the other 5 undefeated teams are 1-5 on the poll.

Congrats to all of the SouthEastern Ohio Teams, way to go Fighting Tigers...........keep up the hard work.

Peebles first needs to be a main stay in the Disrict tourny to get the respect to be in the top 10. Peebles should feel lucky to at least be noticed.

I wonder how many undefeated D3 teams there are in Ohio...esp with an offense averaging scoring 20 more points than they give up on defense. Agreed, I'd like to see Peebles do well in tournament, but saying the Indians should "feel lucky to get noticed" detracts from what these boys have earned this year.

It is very hard to get noticed in SE Ohio, to be sure.

[peeblesfan97]

I agree that early in the year when the polls are first released the previous season may decide where teams are ranked, but at this late stage in the year to be undefeated a team should be ranked only on the current season not how far they advanced in the tourney the past few years.
