I would still consider them a "sleeper" team. Just because they're 10-1 and ranked, I believe 3rd or 4th in the polls hasnt changed the perception most think of them. FYI, Im not a Middlesboro fan but how many people on here or state wide are even considering the Jackets championship worthy? Its probably a very low number. Somewhat of a weak schedule, not actually challenging for a region for the past few years and the stigma from being from Eastern Ky. are possible reasons for the overlooking of this team. IMO they are the perfect "sleeper" team. Great skill position players, great coaching and loads of experience are reasons that this team could be a force to be reckoned with throughout the playoffs.

This is true, but I just wouldn't consider a team with a great record to be a sleeper, now leslie on the other hand was 6-4 before their win over Breathitt, so they could be considered a sleeper team
