Perhaps more respected by you. But if you knew the politicing, vote swapping ("you vote for mine and I'll vote for your's") and regional block voting that goes on with the coaches selections, you might not feel that way about the CJ All State team. I know those things happen because numerous high school football coaches have admitted to me that it happens.

Both have some odd selections and both have some glaring omissions each year. Some years the AP team looks more in line with my thinking; other years the CJ team looks more in line. Both have bad flaws in the selection methodology.

Anyone that puts any significance in either team or gets upset when a certain player is omitted is being foolish in my opinion.

I know that what you said is true, and even with that the CJ All-State team is a more accurate list of the top players in the state, year in and year out.
