Canadian #9?

Maud Cardinals
Canadian tumbled to #9 from #1 by losing to Stratford Friday night 17-7. Cisco got beat by a team that was not in the top 10 and dropped to #7...? I took the time to break down, now #1 Maud. They have not played quality teams is probably an understatement. In preseason they only went up in class twice playing 2 AA teams with a combined record of 4-10. As of today their opponents on their schedule are a combined 28-43! The teams left for the Maud cardinals are a combined 9-12. They will see the toughest game this Friday from Sims Bowie(5-2). Seems like that might be a good game until you look at last weeks scores... Maud beat Hawkins 51-19. Hawkins beat Sims Bowie 39-20... If you look down the rest of their schedule you see a familiar team in Big Sandy. If you recall Stratford was a big underdog against Big Sandy in the State Championship game a few years ago. Big Sandy(2-5) was dismantled by Sims Bowie 62-0. Obviously not the same Big Sandy team... I guess what I am trying to say is: "Seriously #9?". If this is the team you are calling #1... The biggest question in my mind is when Canadian & Stratford win state in their divisions will we go back to week 7 to determine the class A overall state champion? How about a plus 1 game!
