I'd love to know who is voting Bellbrook a #1 vote. They clearly haven't been watching any games or looking at scores.

That's the issue with these polls... most of them don't put any time into even looking at scores never mind figuring out who's actually good. They'd be better off to not do a poll.

Great question!!!!!
Wow; looked into this, NO possible factual answer anyone could possibly defend.
SWBL 14 teams; only 3 D1.
Bellbrook only plays 8 games vs. (no great) D1 teams this season.
Ls are to (good not great) D1s Miamisburg and Tecumseh.
Won’t even be a 1 seed in any of the 3 Dayton D1 Sections.
Dayton 1 seeds will be Wayne, Centerville, Springboro.

Bellbrook receives #6 Seed in Dayton Districts; out of 19 schools.

I def understand that but at the same time it takes no time at all to look. They have loses to GWOC schools that other GWOC schools have throttled.

Bellbrook receives #6 Seed in Dayton Districts; out of 19 schools.

But yet they still get a #1 vote in the AP poll......ridiculous!

In Div 4, how does Minster go from second, with 8 first place votes last week to no first place votes and now ranked 4th? They did not lose this week
