Comparing my ratings to the Post Dispatch Boys Basketball Rankings

The Post Dispatch lists their top ten large and small schools with a second ten bubble list for each size school category.  I have taken their large and small school polls and added my ratings to their listing.  I think the PD staff has the top two or three in each class right but then it gets a little scrambled in both classes.  McCluer North, East St. Louis, Collinsville and Francis Howell should be in that top six, right behind Chaminade and Marquette is not too far behind, despite their buzzer beater loss to FZS.  Belleville West is a nationally ranked team that is deservedly the top large school.  McCluer (120) and Parkway Central (115) both belong on the top 20 somewhere.  I think Mehlville is over-rated based upon the level of competition that they have beaten.  Ladue slipped badly after a big losses to Lutheran South and Highland, Illinois.

In the small school rankings, I don't have too much to say other than Alton Marquette is more of a bubble team and Lutheran South should be rated higher after their beat down of Ladue.
