Even our good friends in the North West will tell you different.

You can stick Armagh down a number of places. 1st for winning Ulster that included two extra time wins? In the league stay up on 5 points few do that ask Tyrone. All Ireland series underwhelming stuff in the manner of defeats to Louth and Kerry.

One is supposedly done on a whim - the other on scientific calculations.
Only 3 counties place differs by more than 3 places.

Science say Cork are better than i think they are but doesn't like Cavan and Monaghan.

2 Louth denotes division2, I assume.

Oh, so it's just that their 'ranking' happens to be the same number as their NFL division number, in 2026 and indeed 2027.

Galway are class though - just not at football, or when it counts, or if comparing weather conditions, or traffic.

Still in all, ye can win an All Ireland when there is a Donnellan in the team. Any sign of another generation of them lads?

I think I called it here. Div2 is div2, unless you're promoting, or you're Tyrone. As the great Louthman Jimmy Magee might have said 'different class'. The challenge for Mayo now is to avoid looking different class v Kerry too. Impossible to see Dublin 2026 winning tomorrow.
