Lowest Ranked Team to ever win a Championship

[PopRay]

What is the lowest ranked team at the end of the regular season to win a Championship?
For D1 and for D2.

THAT is a good question!

Include their rating at the end of regular season...

Nice try flats...not what we wish would happen...but what has already happened in the past...

 

[PopRay]

Anybody keep a record of Granger's toy and compare it to what happened in the Championship games?

 

[granger]

I can look back. Are you talking anytime throughout the year or preseason?

I remember many moons ago that G-R was very low, like 67th, preseason and got to the quarters. If they hadn't suspected (had someone quit or something) that week several folks thought they could win it all...

 

[PopRay]

Talking about at the end of the regular season..to the championship...
Thanks Granger!

Well in 1994, in the infancy of the toy, there was a bunch who were ranked 14th going into playoffs. They were not in the East (inside joke) and probably did not deserve being ranked that high, but seem to remember them doing fairly well. Ha

No inside jokes High Plains. Gotta put their name out there,

 

[PopRay]

Any team not in the top ten at the end of the regular season win it all?

 

[PopRay]

Well...what about this year....seems like there could be a few possiblities....

My picks...Teams should not be rated in top 5....

DI....May in the East....Happy in the West....

DII...Richland Springs in the East....Motley County in the West

 

[PopRay]

Could it be......May(6th), Blum(12th)...or even Fannindel(40th) ... in D1

How about......Dawson(6th) or Richland Springs(9th)... this year in D2

 

[HP Drifter]

POP, the bunch speaking of was not in top 10.

 

[PopRay]

HP ... that is the point.... sometimes the highest ranking teams don't win it all... but someone else does... who's will be that team this year?

 

[oldfat&bald]

How about......Dawson(6th). this year in D2

That would make lots of folks from Shacktown happy.

I don't see them getting by GF though.................

Then again, I thought Loop would beat them last week.

 

[PopRay]

Well we are all going to find out about our first installment for this year.....
Best wishes to all you underdogs...stay healthy and warm everyone....
