CC Top 25 - Pre-Playoffs

Whether private or public, large or small, and regardless of the league you play in, here's my stab at ranking the Top 25 basketball teams from WNY in order, before they begin postseason play this week.  When the smoke clears and the champions have been crowned, there'll be a final top 25 to compare it to.

 

1. Olean (B1)

3. Niagara Falls (AA)

4. Jamestown (AA) 

5. St. Joe's (MMA) 

6. Williamsville North (AA)

What do you base it off of to have Olean in the top spot? I know they beat canisuis but i think the falls/jtown would probably take care of them.

So do you think Canisius should be ranked behind Falls & Jamestown, or do you just discount Olean's win?

[McShea is God]

Discount the win. If they played 10 times Canisius would win 7. If Falls was playing their 1st game of the year and Olean had already played 2 the same thing would have happened.

Plus Kyle Husband dresses better and has much nicer hair than Coach Anistasia - that alone should get Canisius the top spot. Until St Francis beats them 2nite by 30 - then u will have 2 adjust.

Discount a win? Olean beat Canisius, give them the credit they deserve. The list of excuses I see on this blog are ridiculous, first game, away game, it snowed that day and the road were slippery, the officials missed a travel, etc. I agree that Canisius is very good but think that Olean is just as good and they beat Canisius. High school teams don't play against each other 10 times a season.
