    I'm not sure how these computers crunch the wins and losses, but for Woodrow to be so far behind South Charleston, after beating the snot out of SC, and Greenbrier East, after South Charleston beat the snot out of GE, is just stupid. And Woodrow beat the heck out of Morgantown earlier in the season and should have been ahead of them a long time ago.

    Thank goodness your "Power Index" is useless and the AP poll is the main one that matters for seeding.
