If you haven't seen the Sideline Sports Show, check it out. They have great content showcasing NE Indiana. Watching their show inspired me to make a prediction on how the SAC will finish up this season. I think Carroll is the easy pick at #1. After that, it's a crapshoot. I think there are six or seven teams that are capable of being VERY good. So finishing 8th in the SAC doesn't necessarily mean you won't be a threat in the playoffs. 1. Carroll - No doubt about this pick. Lot's of returning starters. Major threat in 6A North. 2. Homestead - The Spartans are due for a breakout season. I think they return enough guys to make this season an improvement over last year, which was a pretty good team. 3. North Side - This team is stocked with talent, with six guys already receiving D1 offers. I like them to finish somewhere between second and fourth in the SAC. 4. Snider - Don't underestimate this coaching staff. If the offensive line comes together, look out. No D1 offers to my knowledge, just a bunch of well coached kids who know how to play. 5. Dwenger - Looking forward to seeing how they match up against Roncalli in Week 1. If they win that game, they jump up to #2. But for now, they have a lot of holes to fill from last season. If there's one thing we know about the Saints, they're a tough bunch of kids who are capable of reloading. Kind of a wait and see for me. 6. Northrop - Another wait and see team. The talent is there, just behind Carroll and North Side. But they also have a first year coach. They could go higher, they could go lower. 7. Luers - Like Dwenger, they also lost a lot of starters from last year's state finalist team. But their coaching staff is as good as any in NE Indiana. I like the Knights to finish between sixth and eighth. Not bad for the smallest school in the SAC. 8. South Side - Maybe the team I'm looking forward to seeing the most. I could see them finishing as high as sixth. They've improved every year under Andre Goodwell.........and almost beat East Noble in the playoffs last year. No shame in being ranked 8th in the SAC this season. Good luck to the Archers. Great guy leading the way. 9. Wayne - Another up and coming good coach in my opinion, but it's a work in progress. This conference is a grind. 10. Concordia - Last year in the SAC. Good move for them. I'm basing this prediction on recent past performance. I really don't know much about what they return. I just know it's been a struggle with the larger schools.

Agreed and senior leadership. Is this team heavy with seniors? I think last year's summer practice fiasco hurt them as well. Never heard what came of that.

1989, 2020, & 2025. Maybe a one year "total collapse." But let's not forget that they finished the year with a win over North Side and should have beaten Northrop. I felt like their QB did pretty well to end last season. If they shore up the offensive line, they'll make a deep run in 5A. Their skill guys and defense will make them dangerous regardless......it all comes down to the offensive line.

easy guys....all the teams in the class are ranked on Maxpreps....I just copied the first page which happens to be 25. LOL

I don't recall Snider ever having a year like the one in 2025, first losing regular season losing record in their 50+ year history? It seemed to be a total collapse of the program. Hopefully they can get back to being a team to compete. Think they have a really good back returning, not sure about the QB.

It’s all good.

I've just donated for the 26-27 season. Hopefully this will carry over to the new year's topic. Thanks to everyone who keep this site running. Andy Reid - Indy Lutheran/Concordia Fan

Eight teams. 5A has 33 just like 6A. Sorry. Had to jump in with my “Well actually…” moment again 😂

Don’t forget there are actually 33 teams in 6A this year. Doesn’t make it much better though. Your point is still true.

Gibson Southern:

Cascade will be in 2A for at least two seasons. Success factor totals reset when a school changes classes, no matter if it is moving up or moving down. So Cascade’s success factor total going into this season is zero.

Go South Adams Starfires! Seems odd to say as an AC fan but have some relatives in the Starfires football program.

Go Adams Central Flying Jets! Go Bellmont Braves! Hope to see that streak to come to an end for the Braves. Excited to see how the Jets compete in 3A.

🤣

Thanks for sharing. Certainly not one of the stronger polls we'll see throughout the season. Wondering how they come up with these rankings. Last year's results combined with D1 prospects on the roster? Do Maxpreps and Calpreps have any idea how many starters return for the season? Presuming they know who the statistical leaders were during their junior campaigns. But do they have any idea how many offensive or defensive linemen return from a season ago if they're not getting D1 attention?

Probably at Top 10 team in 5A. Top 5 if their offensive line comes together. The SAC is solid this year (lots of D1 talent, just not at Snider). They could lose five or six regular season games and still be a good 5A team. But make no mistake, the goal over there is winning a state title. Historically, it's takes a couple of years to recover from a season like they had last year. I think when it's all said and done with, Snider will be a serious threat in the North. New Pal and Cathedral might be on an island of their own this season with regard to winning the whole thing. Time will tell. Gimmie Lafayette Jeff as the pre-season front runner to represent the North.
