The 2009 Athens Bulldogs finish the season with an impressive (9-1) record. They also finish with a share of the TVC-Ohio Football Championship, which is their 1st since joining the league in 2008. Athens will get a good chunck of players on the All-TVC Team by finishing in first place. For the Bulldogs, next season will be interesting. They lose some key seniors, which a majority of them were on the offensive and defensive lines, and also a player in Shad McCollum who did everything for the Dogs from catching balls to returning them. The questions will be can Athens reload, and can they repeat? Athens will be facing a much tougher non-league schedule with the Additions of Chillicothe, Parkersburg-South and Warren. Again, awesome job this season to Athens Coaching staff, the Seniors, and all the underclassman. Great season!

The 2009 Alexander Spartans are having the best season in school history. The season highlights include a season of first. This season was the first time they ever defeated the Nelsonville-York Buckeyes, and will be the first time the team ever plays in a Play-Off Game. The Spartans head into the Play-Offs with an (8-2) record, one of the best finishes ever for the school. Coach Arno and staff have done a phenomenal job this season for the Spartans Football Team...

The 2009 Nelsonville-York Buckeyes finish the season with an (8-2) record. By doing that, they earned themselves a share of the TVC-Ohio Football Championship. The season however came to an end many fans didn't want to see as the Buckeyes will not be invited to play in the post season. Derek Arnold will be a huge set of legs to replace for the Buckeyes. With a young core, the Buckeyes should be right their in the fight again next season for the Ohio Crown and a Play-Off berth. Coach Boston and Staff did a great job this season along with all the players...

The 2009 Trimble Tomcats finished with 5 straight victories in rout to their (6-4) finish, and undefeated TVC-Hocking record to capture another Football Championship. Coach Phil Faires did a tremendous job this season by keeping the Tomcats focus on getting that TVC Crown after a (1-4) start that followed with many doubts about the team. The Tomcats early rough patch most likely prevented them from making the postseason this season, but I'm sure after the start they had they'll be content with the TVC-Hocking Championship...

The 2009 Eastern Eagles finished the season strong, and earned themselves a very nice (6-4) record. By doing so, they joined the Trimble Tomcats as the only two Hocking Teams with winning records and actually finished higher in the Region Ranking then their foes the Tomcats by one spot. The Eagles will see if this years strong finish can carry over to next season...

The 2009 Meigs Mauraders were a tail of two different clubs. The club that started the season (1-5), and then the club that finished (4-0) which included all league wins and the big win over Alexander that knocked them out of the running for the TVC-Ohio Football Crown. Coach Chauncey and staff do a good job in Pomeroy, and they have their boys playing good football. Let's see if it can carry over into next season...

The 2009 Southern Tornadoes were right in the mix of things all season long. They finished (5-5), but were fighting for a share of the Hocking Crown in Week Nine. After that loss, they simply had one last game to send their Seniors out on and it was a good one with Eastern. The Tornadoes 4-game winning streak in the middle of the season had every Southern fan pumped and excited. Southern finished at .500, which made them join Trimble and Eastern as the only Hocking Teams not to have losing records...

The 2009 Federal Hocking Lancers experienced the Gauntlet of a schedule to start off their season. However, after starting (0-6), they finished (3-1) with their only loss late to a Trimble team that was earning another Championship. The Lancers won their 3 games with each win being by 2 Td's each. We will see if Federal Hocking can keep this kind of play come next season...

The 2009 Waterford Wildcats wish they could replay those last 4 games of the season. At one point, the Wildcats were (3-3), right in the thick of things, but a late season filled with short comings left them with a (3-7) overall record. Lets see how the offseason effects these Wildcats...

Top Ten teams make the poll...
Points Scored/Allowed, Road/Home Wins all factor into poll as well as the opponent's record...
***This Poll is officially just an opinion and is for entertainment purposes. Do not attack the poll, or what people may say as a result of the poll. It is ok to feel differently, but remember this is all in good fun***

[Orange and Brown]

Hey thats not bad!!! Keep it up.

[Lungbuster]

good idea... some questionable picks IMO

Some of the teams who lost to good teams, shouldnt they be ahead of the teams who hardly beat weak opponents. Example, waterford over SG by 2 tds gest the 4 spot. When wellston lost to JACKSON by 2 tds and gets 9th

i dont know the system you used but i was just wondering if opponent strength came into play?

[boilermaker]

Wellston should be above Waterford and Muller at the very least. Just by the team we played.

[classof86]

The poll will level itself out by the end of the year. The weak will make their way to the bottom and the strong will come through. It's only week 1, just give it some time

[Orange and Brown]

I would say if you don't like it make your own!!

[mattash]

Nice poll.

[fat tony]

if ny wins and athens does too.who should be at 1.ny cause they had better oppont.or athens who would be 2-0 for the first time in a long time?

[questionmark]

These are some of the things I have tried to look at to make this as fair and FUN! for everyone...
- Did the team WIN at Home (which is easier) or on the Road (Tough to do)...
- What was the score of the game, points for the team/points allowed...
- Opponents record before contest (ex. Team A beats Team B whose record is (5-0), that should improve their standings)...

Fat Tony-
Athens (1-0) visits Fed. Hock (0-1) , a win on the road will get them some points of improvement, but Fed. Hocks record of (0-1) factors is less then say if they were (5-0) at this point... This Poll, which is my 1st attempt at this should begin to unravel itself as the season unfolds like many have said on here already ... I will also look into what people are saying and reading comments that may turn out to explain a good reason for moving a certain team to a spot and dropping a team to a spot...

Winless Team's Question-
I've seen polls where a winless team is ranked over a team win a victory. I know that the opponent may be very different but I view a WIN as a WIN...So after Week I no winless team should be higher than a team who WON...however, let the season unfold and the Poll should reflect records the best it can...everyone argues that this opponent is stronger then that opponent, but as of Week I and on Paper, that opponent is only (1-0), very different then if your team lost to a (5-0) or (4-1) type team...Team strength will come into play around Week III as records begin to form...

FUN!-
I know that many parents get on here and adults get on here and this can be fun for them. But this is truly for the kids and their entertainment. I will try to keep this as unbias as possible as I am an Athens Alum from '04 and currently a Coach at the High School (non-football at this time)...Its for the kids, so try not to bash and degrade teams/players for a reason you think the Poll is wrong. Simply comment in a adult manner and I will look into your suggestion. I am not to prideful to listen to an arguement from someone that turns out to explain itself quite well...Again, this is for FUN and should remain fun for all involved ...

Team Supporters-
I would actually love to here supporters argue why their team should make a move in the polls after a contest kinda like the BCS (which is horrible by the way) . Make a case after your team has earned a great road win or something like that and let's see who agrees...

[fat tony]

thank you

[NY BUCKS]

OK NELSONVILLE YORK DEF TRIMBLE WHO WENT TWO ROUNDS IN THE PLAYOFFS LAST YEAR AND ATHENS BEAT A GALLIA TEAM THAT FINISHED AT OR NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE SEOAL. SORRY FOR GOT ABOUT THE CAPS.Im just wondering about how that would rank athens higher.Not saying NY should be at the TOP YET.

Well first off i think this is great but i do have to agree with ny bucks.He left out one part how hard it is to come in to Trimble and a get a win.The bucks showed the ability to never give up and play when the going got tuff with a last minute win.My vote would be for them to be number one,but i guess it will work itself out.

goodluck to all the tvc teams this year

[ole_Bobcat]

That is a good poll,of coarse week 1 will be deceiving and the rankings will get more accurate as the year goes on and i know this poll takes time, thanks!

[questionmark]

NY BUCKS -

Valid Argument...

Athens & NY both won to get to (1-0) both defeating an opponent with identical records...
Athens & NY both went on the Road and earned the 'W's ...

Where Athens gets the slight Week I edge (remember it is only Week I) is they Shut-Out their Opponent, and Scored 21 while NY gave up 6 while recording 7. Both Wins, both in very hostile areas to play, but as of Week I, the Athens Shut-Out has them in the #1 Spot ...

Let's see what happens with Week II action and see how this Poll begins to unravel ...

(Also remember this Poll is based on Teams this year, what they did last year will not reflect as these teams are not last years teams. As teams you beat begin to earn wins, that begins to adjust your (vs. Opponent Difficulty) just like the Play-Off System works.)

[NY BUCKS]

Fair answer.

[questionmark]

As the 'MASTER OF POLLPETS' I'm pulling the strings...

Sorry, had a control freak moment there. I want to see who thinks (who) will make the most noise in the Polls this Week...

Will Federal Hocking, Belpre or Southern make their way onto the Polls this week?
Will Athens hold the #1 spot for this Week?
Can the (1-0) Teams get that 2nd Victory and keep themselves High?
Can the (0-1) Teams get that 1st Victory after a heartbreaking loss in Week I?
Who, will make the 'Jump'?

[NY BUCKS]

Moving on up to the TOP^^^^^^^^^^^^^GO BUCKEYES

[King of Kings]

Well after week two Athens and Ny are the class of Athens county. Trimble is out of shape, not very tough, and are not what they used to be. My Lancers are getting beat up, and its not going to get easier for them. Alex is better but I do not think they will beat Athens or NY. I have not got to see much of the Ohio teams play, but based on scores this poll is going to be decided in Athens county this year. Hopefully my Lancers can overcome this tough schedule and make some noise in the Hocking division of the TVC. Based on who we have played we should overcome VC in this weeks polls, but its not exactly like our games have been close so I could see why they would be ahead of us. I just do not think they have played the comp. we have.

[Orange and Brown]

Good luck ranking the teams this week!!!!!!

[questionmark]

TOP 3 are EASY to see right now with Athens, NY and ALEX being undefeated and playing good ball. Top 3 spots could argue that their respected team should be in a certain spot and they'd have a good arguement. After that, it was hard to rank the teams this Week.

Enjoy the Poll, Week III is Here Already ...
