For those of you that are not familiar with the Charlotte Observer, the Queen City's daily newspaper, they release a high school football poll weekly called the Sweet 16. The Sweet 16 is comprised of Observer-area high schools. For more information on how schools are made eligible, please click here.
I will give you my top 20 of the area weekly beginning next week. I will use my own criteria and make it semi-secret like how the Sagarin ratings are comprised.
For this week, the Sweet 16 from the Charlotte Observer is as follows (all schools are located in North Carolina unless otherwise noted):
- Charlotte Christian (3-0); last week: 1
- West Rowan (3-0); last week: 2
- Charlotte Butler (2-0); last week: 3
