A lot of games get left out because, simply put, there are a lot of good games. And sometimes good games don't always mean high profile. For instance, I chose Decatur Heritage vs Sheffield because both teams are drastically different than last year and should be pretty evenly matched but no one really expects either of these teams to be really great this year.

I can't speak for TP or Kody, but I like to spotlight teams that maybe don't have a lot of hype or expectations from time to time. I get tired of reading the about the same ole teams over and over.

I try to do a little bit of both. Some weeks are so loaded that it's hard to just pick four games. Other weeks the schedule is lighter, or the big games all include teams I've already written about multiple times. As much as possible, I try to spread my games out across the state as well.

Then with Week 0, there's the added element that most of the games that are big matchups this year were also big matchups in Week 0 last year, and I'd rather not write about the exact same matchup I wrote about last year. That's really how I decided on a game like Susan Moore vs JB Pennington. Sure, neither team will likely be a state championship contender, both it's two solid teams in an early-season rivalry game, so there's a little more on the line than just an early season tune-up. Plus, it's a game I've never written about.

Yes and let me reiterate that this not the official Barber Shop Gurus thread.

This is simply my picks that I shared with you guys and gals. Didn't know if they were going to make one so I made one with my picks .

Usually week 0 I pick games that I know most people are expecting and are excited for. After that I like to balance it out. Usually a big game in a big class, big game in a small class, then I like to balance it out with two that no one usually is talking about.
