I'd argue they are perfectly placed. They were beaten by both Snider and Carroll by single digit margins.

Yeah, those three teams are really close in my book. Crown Point's win over Merrillville has lost some of its luster so they have steadily dropped (I think I had them has high as 11/12 at one point) but it is no fault of their own. Warren is the most baffling team in the state to me.

Because they took a knee in the red zone? Tell me you didn't watch the game without telling me you didn't watch the game.

What’s your 40?

Never thought of it that way, but I can get behind this. The 5A path is easier than the path in 4A this fall in my opinion. Great take.

It’s clear to me.. Hansen in a landslide.

Luers is ALWAYS better than their record. Betting they definitely have revenge on their minds after last year...

Because hyperbole and sarcasm is so easy to detect on the internet, right?

There is zero difference between those quotes. All semantics. I’ve stated all along they deserve to be in the conversation and you are the one creating a pissing contest and splitting hairs. Then you double down AFTER they let a mediocre Mount Vernon team hang around and state it as an ABSOLUTE. You must live in a world where words don’t matter and you can just constantly change the meaning of them despite them being front and center for all to see. The difference in us is the obvious bias. You have skin/blood in the game. I don’t. I have not seen one other poster who is not a New Pal fan (as you claim) that thinks they are the best team in the state. The “blow through the tournament” comment was not made by me so don’t drag me into that one. I’m actually on record (in this very thread) as stating there may be some challengers to New Pal which was unheard of 8 weeks ago. Man, you are making it easy to be a Roncalli fan. Don’t be the Merrillville of central Indiana please.

This is getting harder… 1. Michigan 2. Ohio State 3. Penn State 4. Illinois 5. Maryland 6. Wisconsin 7. Purdue 8. Minnesota 9. Michigan State 10. Iowa 11. Nebraska 12. Rutgers 13. Indiana 14. Northwestern

Thought it was interesting the contrast in coaching styles yesterday by those schools with Heisman worthy quarterbacks. Tennessee pulled Hooker at halftime of their blowout win over UT Martin while OSU had Stroud still throwing bombs and going for it on 4th down in the fourth quarter up 30+ points. Just an observation.

“Yes absolutely the best team in the state!” EIGHT HOURS ago. Scroll up.

Uninspiring performance by the Boilers with everything right in front of them. This one was over from the coin flip.

Knew you’d take the bait. Your late night damage control spoke volumes. Mount Vernon is a fringe top 75 team in the state…rivalry game or not “the unquestioned best team in the state” should roll through them with relative ease. Every team ranked in front of New Pal has taken care of/put away clearly inferior competition without missing a beat. New Pal was down in the third quarter…to a team with a 15 year old QB whose parents picked him up after the game because he’s not old enough to drive. Facts are facts.

Hoosiers take the opening kickoff for a TD. Tom Allen goes crazy. Hoosiers score 10 points in the remaining 59:49. #LEO

Could this be why? Also, does Shortridge still get credit for hosting that game because that could affect where Roncalli has to play in future more important contests if not…

Fair.

Whenever I see the words “could have” I stop reading…

Title says it all… we will obviously know more at the end of next month but as of right now what teams do you foresee having the ability to not only win their class but the class above them? I’ll start. 4A: I think New Pal and Roncalli (on the right night) could win the 5A title and play with the 6A contenders. I think East Central and Evansville Reitz could compete well for the 5A title. 2A: I think Andrean, Mater Dei and Linton could compete for the 3A title. 1A: I think Lutheran could WIN the 2A title and Adams Central could compete for the 2A title.

Not a lot of movement this week as most teams did not see action. Two polls starting next week as I will have a normal top 25 and a top 25 of only those teams still remaining in the tournament.

Let me start by saying I think Mount Vernon is one of the most improved teams in the state and if I heard correctly last night starts a 15 year old at QB. That being said, @MonkeyButt likes to use the transitive property in his argument that New Pal could be the #1 team in Indiana regardless of class. Well, that can work both ways. New Pal was trailing in the 3rd quarter and defeated a Mount Vernon team by 11 points. Mount Vernon also lost to the HCC’s 7th place team (Noblesville) by 8. HSE and Brownsburg beat Noblesville by a combined score of 83-42 this season. Let’s pump the brakes a bit.

Love the damage control. It’s not necessary man. Trust me.
