Yes, but it's about overall body of work, too.
Leipsic (13-2, 6-2 BVC) Arlington (11-1, 6-1 BVC) still have similar resumes.
Head to head: Arlington won at home, 49-44, (1/23).
Comparatively: Both have lost at (D3 #3) LBenton this season. Leipsic lost by 5 (12/11), while Arlington lost by 18 (1/15).
Voting procedures: I know some voters don't always get up-to-date team information at the time of the vote (ie: schools not posting results in a timely manner, etc...). Aside from football, which only plays 2 games a week, polls often take a week's time to reflect what teams have done. If Leipsic and Arlington both run the table this week, Arlington may garner more votes in next week's poll.

Many agree that the polls don't actually mean much really. However, certain programs deserve some respect for what they've produced. Crestview is one of those programs!! Greg Rickard has done a wonderful job there.....over 400 wins, deep tournament runs, fundamentals, overall great success and tradition. Wake up AP voters.....ridiculous not to have them at or near the top in D4......just saying!! This year's team is rock solid loaded with experienced players..cmon!!

Yeah I don't get what the AP voters are seeing in some of those teams.

Crestview is a legit top 10 team in D4. Bauer may be one of the best in NW Ohio for small schools and already has D2 and some D1 schools looking at her.

I mean its going to come down to Berlin Hiland, Ft Loramie, a team from NW Ohio whether it be Holgate, Crestview, Arlington, St Wendy's, or Leipsic IMO.
