I heard this silly talk last year. I don't think anyone is saying strength of schedule is the only thing that matters. It does however mean a lot. For instance Ballard Memorial was 6-0 until they played Caldwell Co and Murray in back to back weeks. They got killed in both games. Paintsville was 5-1 going in to Fairview, who was 6-0. Paintsville got killed in that one as well. There are many more examples. This kind of talk is coming from someone who most likely won't understand until they play one of those teams that has played a tougher schedule than their beloved team. That is when they may begin to understand. I don't mean to sound like I am speaking down to someone, but that is just the way it is.

There were 3 teams in 4A last year with no or very few loses that wanted to boast all year how great they were while others kept saying they have not played anyone that is remotely good yet. Guess what, they all got blown out come playoff time when they finally played a good team. A weak schedule gives you a false sense of how good you really are. A good schedule really shows what your team has and shows you any areas of weakness and allows you to work on those areas.
