I struggle with the scenario that Oregon gets a free pass for losing to Washington in the regular season. Now if they beat them 2nd time around, sounds like it’s automatic that they are in. The key is to lose early I guess…

I’d like to see them get Wazzu’s head coach Jake Dickert. Bring the Wisconsin boy back to the Midwest. Perhaps Iowa State’s Matt Campbell

Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy....where are you going???? https://apnews.com/article/colts-jim-irsay-arrest-rich-white-billionaire-5ad0c79b543330a5165767384359bf84

anyone shocked this was done during the season? I assumed his salary was too high given his current performance....but thought he would at least finish this season. No takers I guess for a trade given his injury and performance with his current contract.

CG was close...they did go to 4 state championship games in a row (2019-2022)....they lost a tight one to Carmel 20-17 in the first one of their run. (winning the next 3)

When did EC beat CG?

Except in this case, he ranked Ole Miss ahead of Georgia.....

You really have no clue what I do for a living.... I hope you didn't teach math or science....If so, God help those kids....

I hate numbers....not even close. Obvious you have no clue as to my profession. People that use numbers without meaning behind the numbers are foolish. I do agree that BD is heavily favored, but less about history and far more about their talent and coaching of their 2023 squad.

you certainly don't like to be challenged do you. You hate it that there on a few on this forum that gets fed up with your constant "know it all attitude" You weren't in the stands all those years. So you don't know. You have no idea how hard that coaching staff and those kids worked to SUSTAIN an incredible level of performance. You were NOT there in the stands during the 5A years to see the type of teams like Columbus East, Columbus North, Bloomington South, Franklin Central, etc. brought in with outstanding coaches. Most people that have competed on an athletic field think twice before diminishing a team's long period of success and even worse, diminish and insult the programs said team competed against. Most that compete learn to respect their opponents. But you are an "expert" because you can look at scores and drawn steadfast conclusions. You've invested nothing, sit a million miles away, and diminish accomplishments that other posters on this forum acknowledge, because at the end of the day, you simply can't stop your fingers from pecking away. As JMV would say, "pure jacka$$ery". And yes, any adult that diminishes what kids accomplish and programs they compete against absolutely does need to "get a life".

Just funnin'. I did think it was interesting that he picked his #3 team over his #1 team. Typically, if a person picks a team at #1, they stick with them come game predictions.

Article about Harbaugh's 2024 future also in the Detroit Free Press....if this is a strong possibility, I assume he would absolutely bolt to the NFL if given the opportunity. https://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/university-michigan/wolverines/2023/11/19/jim-harbaugh-suspended-2024-michigan-football-coach-sign-stealing/71645594007/

Missed both in the 6A semi-state....

CG and BD just played a classic game that came down to the razor's edge. If EC is ranked over CG, might as well rank them #1 over BD.

Sure they had some easy victories in sectionals. You don't think schools like WC, BD, Carmel and others didn't have them as well? But there were some very tough games in those sectionals over those same years and a couple of sectionals that CG did not win. You can print all the picked stats you wish. I was in those stands over the periods and saw some tough sectional games, including a couple of heartbreakers. For any program to be built since Coach Moore arrived and to SUSTAIN that type of performance says something. You can discredit all the opponents they've played all you wish. Just speaks to your character. You need a life dude....way too much time on your hands and give over the "kid always pick last syndrome". Move on.

Been reading Harbaugh's interest is the Raiders....who knows if true?

You simply can’t help yourself, can you? You recently posted correctly on another thread CG’s difficulty last year getting past FC in the sectional on the way to their third straight 6A title. Some of us actually were in the stands watching our kids play during this 18 year window and we know CG wasn’t lighting every team up by 4 TD’s during those sectionals, especially during many of the 5A years. We watched a number of outstanding games. John Harrell provides a great archive of historical results. Check it out before going wild on your keyboard.

Not offended. Just dislike your poor takes. No need to discredit any high school or the kids on it. You play the teams your scheduled to play.

Sigh…not only does that comment slap schools like Columbus North and Franklin Central in the face, but over that span, pulls in schools to include both Bloomington South and North, Columbus East, Martinsville, etc. Not to mention some real tough regional battles. Eric Moore built a dynasty from a school that prior to him had won one sectional championship. You don’t get to trash that level of accomplishment with an ounce of credibility. Think a little before you spew.

When CG took the lead 34-31, I thought there were 2 critical plays in the last BD drive in regulation. The 48 yd pass to Zachary was incredible. QB gets off a tremendous throw just as he was being clobbered by a CG lineman...no way he saw his pass caught. Zachary had been held to one pass completion all game long. Zachary was actually covered very tight by CG defensive back. But the ball was thrown to where only Zachary could pull it down and he makes an outstanding catch.....making it first and goal on the 6 yd line. CG held firm...and the fumble by the BD QB....and it squirted through various hands. If CG recovers, game over and they are moving on to their 5th state title game in a row. But lady luck was with the Giants...they recover, eventually kick FG and history in OT. Amazing how the little things that get almost no print in the paper can play a major role in determining the victor. 2 outstanding teams....both played their butts off and would not back down. Congrats to the Giants!! Go get the title!!

I get it...and many don't do their homework. I just didn't sense that anyone was trying to belittle EC and their accomplishments. EC has built one heck of a program. I was thrilled they took it to Moeller...representing Indiana HS football.

Belittling? Healthy debate when it comes to what teams are in the top 5 in the state is a good thing on a forum designed for discussion. While I notice disagreement, I have not read where any program has been "belittled". I sense you really love to express your views, but hate to have them challenged. You must be a peach at family dinners...

Maybe we just celebrate that Indiana HS teams represented extremely well against Ohio and other out of state teams. Confirms the growth and quality of Indiana HS football!!

Very interesting what SI is reporting….
