St. Louis area high school football rankings vs. Post Dispatch 10/5/2018
Just back from Ireland for a little Guinness, golf and sightseeing and trying to catch up on football game results. Here's a look at how my statistical ratings match up with the Post-Dispatch large and small high school ratings. With a few exceptions, top 10 in both ratings are solid with a few exceptions of over- or under-rating teams.
In large schools, Kirkwood and Pattonville are in the top 10 large schools when De Smet and Francis Howell are more deserving of top 10 consideration.
In small school polls, Cardinal Ritter, Columbia Illinois and Lutheran St. Charles are over-rated, in my estimation, by the P-D writers when Breese Central and Freeburg Illinois are both solid top 10 candidates.
We will very well see how good Kirkwood is when they host Eureka tonight. In other games, De Smet is at Jefferson City, Francis Howell plays a good Francis Howell North team, Pattonville travels to Marquette, Columbia plays at Breese Central and Lutheran St. Charles plays at DuBourg.
