Its mostly because they are good, as is Johnson Central. I do not see the top three changing a lot until the last week of the regular season...I pick Belfry to beat JC, but it very well could be the other way...There is a lot of football between now and then...The schedules do not make much of a difference...Year in and year out Belfry and Bell are usually playing deep into November and December.

Actually, I didn't say "top 3" in my last post because Central's schedule is much more difficult than the two teams above them.

It will be harder for Central to keep 3rd than Bell and Belfry to keep 1st and 2nd through the season...until that final Friday matchup.
