I will start out with a WAY EARLY mountain top 10 without much knowledge.
This is just a guesss as to what i seen last year and what we can expect this year.
Keep in mind, this is way early, and other people will know more about a lot of the teams than i do, so ill start out a top 10 and maybe we can all use our knowledge to try and garner up a top 10 preseason ranking.

1. Bell County (I know, Belfry was one point a way from a state championship over a team that shut Bell out. BUT, Belfry should look at this as a challenge to keep winning and wait until Bell falls, which is possible thiss year. Strictly going by mountain football, Bell hass only lost to 4 mountain teams since the 2000 season. Prestonsburg once, Corbin once, Whitley County once, and Rockcastle County a few times. Im surprised to see how Wayne Mills keeps that program running now that Bell is left with a few question marks. Davenport is gone, yet Polley returns as one of the most underrated players in the mountains. I dont think Bell will dominate mountain teams like they have in the past in 2012, but i fully expect them to be in the mix come next Novemeber.)

You need to do a better job with your statistical research. Bell County has only lost to 4 mountain teams since the 2000 season. But you are incorrect on the amount of times they have lost to these teams. They lost to Whitley once, P'Burg twice(0-2 against P'Burg), and Corbin three times(5-3 against Corbin since 2000). As far as losing to Rockcastle a few times, they have lost to Rock 8 times (an overall 10-8 record against them). They also lost to Boyd County which can be argued whether or not they are part of mountain football. So yeah I agree Bell County has been dominant against some of the weaker mountain teams over the last decade, but it's not like they have dominated all of the mountains. Just as Corbin they have been the benefactor of an easy schedule. BTW during this span they didn't have to play any great Belfry or Breathitt teams.
