First, please remember that the rankings have no bearings on qualifying for state--they are bragging rights, nothing more.
Herriman has shown glimpses of greatness but they are victims of negative momentum. Thrashing Orem More..
Why would I find it hard to believe that Roy would beat teams like Pine View, Dixie and Spanish Fork in 3A. Or in 4A beating a team like Highland. Or in 5A beating a team like Pleasant Grove or Layton? Or even 2A teams like San Juan or Manti. Roy More..
I am biased...but I am wondering why Lone Peak, Mountain Crest and Davis are ranked above Herriman.
Lone Peak: 2-2
WINS: +2 over Mountain Crest and +24 over Highland
LOSS: -10 to Bountiful and -3 to Timpview
My take: Lone More..
