"These are preseason rankings, without MD's replacements doing anything in-state or nationally it is hard to justify them being ranked much higher. With nine state level guys in the preseason this team could go down as one of the best in history. As far as the national ranking, I would say you should do research on the 40 teams and you could see some similarities. If you think state rankings are hard, try doing them nationally.
This the quote that you think is snide? You started by asking why Warren is ranked so much higher than MD and were given a clear reason. We understand that you don't agree but objectively looking at what is returning this is a reasonable response with no snideness. It obviously means something to some folks or we wouldn't be talking about it.
