Massey will still have 10 Texas teams in their top 25.

Massey is such a terrible product. There's no rhyme or reason behind any of it
DeSoto lost last year in the 6A playoffs to Longview, TX 50-14. Clearly, it wasn't a fluke.
Longview will be playing Ruston, La again this year in Ruston. That's always a big and nice game.
Let's do some math though.
In the last two games DeSoto has played they have given up 120 points, but were Preseason #5 at Massey and #24 in the Comp Poll
Come on people. Stop ranking names and do some research...... explain to people why you have a team this or that if you're going to try to rank high school teams.
5A South Oak Cliff beat 6A North Shore 41-31 this weekend.
MaxPreps has North Shore winning 41-31, updated to #3 in TX and #23 Nationally
They might have to change their entire rankings when somebody shoots them an email. I'm not going to do it. I enjoy looking at the stupidity.

Already fixed
Texas is a Crapshoot at the moment.
Lets give'em 2 Weeks. ;D
The reality is Desoto is a shell of themselves not just as a football program (about 40 kids on varsity)but a school with a dwindling enrollment. They already had 5AD1 numbers (but chose to stay in 6A) this cycle they may be at 5AD2 numbers and their talent has evaporated considerably. Lost a lot to graduation and transfers out. It is what it is

There is a real shot that Desoto goes into the playoff with 3 or 4 losses then gets booted out. They could be 8-4 or 9-4 at the end. Hardly night for top 25 in the state. And Creekside is looking so dominant they could run the table and finished top 2-5 in GA. So the loss won't be as bad. The margin of victory is the only thing that looks bad. Not the loss

I think they may struggle with getting the 4th spot v Cedar Hill. There is a reason there was an almost 120 point swing from last years game with Creekside. Desoto typically has 16-20 D1 kids suited up between Sr/Jr classes, this year they have 5.
Their HC ego got in the way when he should have declined any OOS game and just played this season out and move on down to 5A where he belongs.
Duncanville's not going to be much better than DeSoto this year. Y'all just don't know it yet

The reality is DeSoto just isn't coached very well at all
They bullied some people a couple years and are
now getting bullied themselves.
Should Longview drop back down to 5A! Hell, they were a 3-point OT loss away from possibly winning a 6A state championship last year.

Desoto is a state finalist.
How's this post working out for you

They're actually better than last year.

Well they both did make the finals but Duncanville won their match up by 20.

4A Creekside, GA put 70 on DeSoto this year........
Stop embarrassing yourself and stop looking for attention.
It's getting creepy.

Who said Desoto is great?
You tried acting like they were some crap team from Texas and that they and Duncanville would be similarly crap.
Longview this and that and they got 60 points put on them by Desoto. What's that say about your favorite Texas team and that monumental Ruston win?
Desoto is way better than Stephenville, imagine what Creekside would do to them.

So?
What does that have to do with DeSoto being Preseason #5 and giving up 70 points to 4A Creekside, GA?..... Oh yeah, not a damn thing,

You claimed they were ranked based on name alone. That ended up being wrong. Like usual. You brought up their loss to Longview, and how they were overrated because of that, how'd that prediction work out for you?
Desoto was clearly ranked correctly and everyone who claimed that their demise was imminent overreacted to their ass kicking.
DeSoto was Top 10 in many of the Preseason polls.
They lost their very first game by 42 points, lost another game by 20 and yet another game by 9 points
DeSoto has lost 6 games in the last two years getting blown out in several of these games.
End of discussion!

Desoto lost to top ranked teams. 2 of the 3 would beat every team in Louisiana including Karr
Duncanville finalist top 3 in Texas
Creekside top 15 team nationally
North Crowley a top Texas team.
Desoto didn't lose to Ruston.
