| According to the "League Lineup" power ranking in the OAA Red division Southfield Lathrup is rated below Troy yet in the "prep ranking" the Colts are ranked behind Southfield Lathrup. According to the MHSAA power point system the Colt's have accumulated more points than S.L.. I understand last weeks win over Harrison was a huge victory for Lathrup, but the Colts have beaten Lake Orion, Seaholm, Royal Oak, West Bloomfield all preason top 15 teams in the OAA. The Colts get my vote for number 3 in the OAA behind Adams and Clarkston. What do you think?

| Totally agree troy is a good team and should be ranked ahead of lathrup...mainly becuase they play harder teams than lathrup does.

| I am not confused, Troy has beaten two teams that Oak Park has lost to (West Bloomfield and Lake Orion). The Troy/Clarkston score was much closer than it appeared. Troy had two touchdown opportunities in the second half that would have answered Clarkston's 20 points in the 3rd and 4th quarters. Secondly, the games that Troy played against Orion and West Bloomfield were decisive victories for the Colts. Finally, three of the Oak Park victories came against opponents that have a combined 2-19 record. Should Oak Park make the playoffs it would be very interesting to see a Troy/Oak Park rematch (probably played in Troy, Hmmmmmm.)

| Mainly to keep the Lahser/Andover 100 year rivalry alive but also because Lahser made a point to league officials that they have the 26th enrollment in the league (about 1,000).

| This is also the case with Northern and Central. It was also true when Groves was in OAA I and Seaholm was in OAA III (when the OAA was 4 divisions).

| Oak Park should they win this Friday, certaining not a foregone conclusion, would have 5 wins against teams with a combined record of 3-25. Ranking the Knights higher does not make any sense. OAA Scout is right on the money with that rank. Every team this time of the year is dealing with injuries and the wear and tear of a difficult season. Injuries are part of the game, and a well coached team has prepared their players to deal with them. To use injuries as a reason for winning or losing just does not cut the mustard.

| please i hope you werent about to say that if you played in the OAA white you would be better,no overall oaa white isnt completly the best,but when talking about the top 5 teams of the oaa white make no mistake are all very strong teams that arent pushovers at all, i know it looks like adams have had no problem beating all the teams they have faced but besides the 2 farmington games there games have been hard fought and were earned,i dont think you would fail in the OAA white,you would probably be in the same spot or lower in the OAA white.
