A moment to recognize a bit of a milestone for the Allen football program. This week they are ranked as the nation's top team on Rivals.com. I moved to Allen 10 years ago and there was a lot of talk about the potential of the football program. They hired Joe Martin who had won 5A state at Garland and they began to get noticed. Before long it was mentioned as the best job in the state. It's been building and building and certainly the national scouts are taking notice. Morris will be their 4th straight QB to sign with a BCS school. Achieving the #1 spot is just kind of cool for the community and the players.
Now, do I buy it? Not really. Most of these top Rivals programs have several titles to their credit. Allen has 1. They have dominated a tough district, but have a recent history of under-achieving in the playoffs outside of 2008. The defense is usually shaky, although looks fairly stout this year. They haven't shown a running game yet, which has been a trademark in big games in the past. Only 3 games in, so much left to be seen, but I have a hard time looking at them as actually the best team in the entire nation.
