Shoulda taken it @Rodney…wow.

Unbelievable game.

37-34 BD, final

Final prediction: 42-21 EC

Got em.

Don’t need/want it. Seems like you have a pulse on everything Harbaugh related and can even predict the future with the NCAA investigation. I’ll inform the higher ups at UM they are wasting their time with Harbaugh’s contract extension talks. Stick to law and officiating Bob…those are your strong suits.

It’s almost like coaches have individual game plans for opponents that varies based on tendencies and what the other team brings to the table.

Yawn. Keep throwing darts…eventually you’ll hit a bullseye and be able to say you were right.

I've heard this for years... You must know something the folks at UM don't huh?

Sounds like they were ready to cut their losses and sacrifice the short term loss for a potential long term gain. Still furious that the mob won. One thing is for certain now...if Day loses to an interim coach, he will be walking back to Columbus on 11/25.

This is still a weak argument and shows you don't know ball.

7.5 Just out of curiosity why did one game mean something and the other didn’t?

Same guys that wanna criticize you for only marrying an 8 out of 10 but won’t show you a picture of their wife.

Don’t go comparing scores now…not allowed by some.

Nah, they could beat BD under the right circumstances also. Not likely but I’d give em a puncher’s chance. Yep. Shows the amount of respect I have for the consistency of the CG program and their head coach.

Because they have done all they can do with the schedule in front of them. If they were struggling with teams, then I would not place them nearly as high, but they have passed every test with flying colors and in a vacuum could beat anybody in the state. They best Moeller more handily than CG did and we have that data point with BD too. I am not just going to keep shuffling around the 15 schools with the toughest schedule in my rankings. You sure have a lot to say about someone’s rankings for a guy who has never posted his own.

But playing/winning games HAS to matter. Otherwise we could put the shoe on the other foot and claim a team like Franklin Central and Noblesville would be 8-9 win teams with East Central's schedule. Its a resume of the CURRENT team hypothetical, not a "if these two teams switched schedules" ordeal. Playing a tough schedule is one thing, winning your fair share of those games rewards you with a high ranking. In a ONE GAME take all scenario, I like East Central's chances against anyone in the state.

Accuracy matters.

Penn has ONE win on the road in the tournament against a central Indy team in the last 15 years. HSE traveled to Carroll last year... Snider won AT Westfield in 2014...can't find any other examples... What are you even talking about?

That’s not how rankings work…but you already knew that.

The MANNER in which Michigan was informed of Harbaugh’s suspension and the timing despite the fact that there is ZERO evidence that he had anything to do with the Stalions ordeal was bush lesgue. Harbaugh and Michigan may very well be guilty but the B10 commish has botched this entire ordeal. Harbaugh is trolling and accepting the pressure on himself which in turn deflects it from his players.

I mean, in part. I will say that even though they have beefed it up with Moeller and Roncalli, EC still gets 6-7 cupcake games annually…no fault of their own. I think they could hold their own annually against a Chatard level schedule but am not sure they could survive the grind that Cathedral normally puts themselves through. I think the cumulative effect (much like I said about Snider if they were in the HCC in that other thread) would take its toll. If the games were viewed independently of the entire schedule, they would likely be favored every week but that’s not how it works.

I guess I can get on board with that but I can’t put them in the same breath as Chatard or Cathedral when it comes to “reloading.”

Fair trade…
