Who is number 1 ?

...until proven otherwise.
In the past they've played Roff second game of season.
I see that this year, that game was moved to Feb 2.
A week ahead of District Tourn.

Really? So I guess common foes for Roff and Varnum must say that Varnum leaves their starters in longer???   

ross212 Exactly, I still think Varnum is #1

Varnum has a little better resume` than Roff right now. Roff may very well be the better team, but Varnum has beaten a very feisty 4A McLain team, class A #6 Stuart by 9 (Stuart can knock down the three with just about any in the state), class A #7 Vanoss by 14. They beat Earlsboro by 39 and Earlsboro lost to Vanoss by 4 and Stuart by 2.

What does all that tell us? Matchups are important? Earlsboro is WAY better than they were when they played Varnum? I think Earlsoro can play with any team in class B right now except Varnum (they'd have to play them close before I give them competing with Varnum). Do I think Earlsboro can beat Roff or Leedey or any of the top 8 (besides Varnum)? I do, but I also think those teams could/can beat The Boro.

Now just because I think The Boro can beat some top 8 teams doesn't meat I think Varnum is just going to cakewalk to the finals and win it by 20. MATCHUPS!!!

With this being a covid year anything can happen

I agree with you about Duke. I'm still a little skeptical until they play some more quality opponents. I believe there are quite a few teams better than them at this point.

Agree with all that. Red Oak, Duke, Battiest, and Kinta could all move out. RO would probably drop if they lost. In the case of Duke they would have to lose a few times to drop from top 8 and they wont happen before final rankings come out. Duke is at 3 and some of their ranking is regional support which is not going away. Battiest could drop this week, but not sure who would move up. Earlsboro, Butner, BP, and Cyril all lost so I would say Whitesboro moves in there. Whitesboro should be in top 8. Top 8 is not the big deal it was last year, but overall it helps divide the good ones. This year to me it is Varnum, Roff, and close behind Lomega at the top. There is a group behind them that could certainly make big runs such as Whitesboro, Butner, Cyril, Tyrone, RO, and Battiest. My next group that could beat some people and make a solid run are Sasakwa, MO, BP, and Pitt. Some teams that nobody should want in their Area if they knew anything about them are MV, Forgan, Balko, Asher, BV, Eagletown, Stringtown, Hammon, Glencoe, and Calvin in no particular order. Some of those teams are big, some have a key player that could be hard to stop, and some just play a particular style that could make it tough.

If the rankings come out this week? Agree on girls, but not boys. There probably will be one change today with Battiest losing and certainly next week there could be another. RO was not impressive in OT win over Moss and close win over NL. The bigger problem for RO is they have Whitesboro on the 14th. If the pairings are moved back they will drop on a loss. Don't forget last year when the final rankings were moved back Tyrone jumped 2-3 teams, 2 of which hadn't lost. Another team that could lose is Kinta possibly if rankings move back.
