Daily Oklahoman Week 8 Rankings

What does "TotalPointsPrv" mean?

Hmm. Well, my sense is that Thomas is *probably* overrated in these polls. But my senses have been proven wrong before, so...

I don't think it's the same thing with regard to Gore, with all due respect. Thomas is an elite class A team with a history and a trophy box to prove it; Gore is an up-and-comer at best. I know of what I speak in both cases. Up until just a few short years ago I attended games and watched A-8 teams week-in and week-out. With exception of Talihina they were all horrible football teams. Granted that now and again Savanna or Central Sallisaw would produce a so-so team, but for the most part they were all bad, ... very bad! Gore shouldn't be anywhere close to the top ten in my view, in spite of their recent successes (good W/L records); I can't say as much for Thomas - if the Terriers went down to Gore this week and played them on their own field, my guess that they'd blow them away. But again, I have guessed wrongly before, so there ya go.
