As much as I hate to say it, how could you not have Hilliard Davidson in this list? More prolonged recent success than Pickerington Central has had in winnings two state championships.... I'm sure there are a number of variables contributing to this list in compiling a total program (college committments, facilities, etc), but still...
Also nice to see some love for the Middies on that list! My dad was an assistant during the Bill Conley days of the early 80's

Wondered that myself. I thought I saw Delphos St. John's and Ursuline in another poll.

Wow...big difference from the other one. SI only had (2) Ohio teams in the top 25 compared to (4) in the Rivals one. They are pretty much worthless either way.

Yeah, most of these are a complete misconception of either strength of schedule or previous records. They don't look at the actual talent!
