Beating Maryland is a legit win. Beat em 42-28 in a game where IU had 4 turnovers and Maryland had none. How often does that happen? Cignetti is a wizard to do this with IU. Could care less if he talks too much when you back it up with wins. At what point ever has IU been a favorite in 11 of their 12 games? Got that answer right here for ya: NEVER.

Ok come on Temp, they are almost bowl eligible!!!Even if they lose a couple winnable games, 9-3 is a marked improvement

Warren went double OT with BD and should have lost while LN destroyed BD in a game that was worse than the final score

Carmel 34 - Ben Davis 17 Center Grove 28 - Cathedral 21 Lawrence North 28 - Warren Central 7 Pike 42 - Guerin Catholic 14 Lawrence Central 42 - North Central 7

Westfield 42 - Avon 10 Brownsburg 35 - Zionsville 7 Fishers 28 - Franklin Central 21 HSE 24 - Noblesville 21

I got Penn winning something like 24-21

Homestead QB won’t make a difference against Carroll, Chargers will roll. If Snider runs the ball 90% of the time against Northrop, they will score every time they have the ball barring turnovers. Getting shutout depends how bad Tippman wants a shutout…

I would say the 3 best teams in the state in 5A last year…

For sure. 5-0 for IU has been a pipe dream for so long it is easy to get a bit excited. How often have we went into every game but one a favorite? We avoid Penn State, USC, and Oregon, get a down Michigan team, a beatable Nebraska team, a beatable Michigan State team, Northwestern who we should beat by double digits, and lowly Purdue. Table is set, just gotta eat Tossup games are all at home

Carroll 35 - Homestead 14 - Chargers roll Sparty Luers 21 -Dwenger 14 - Knights are just better than the Saints North Side 35 -South Side 14 - Lack of discipline doesn’t hurt them against the Archers Wayne 42 - Concordia 13 - Generals played Carroll tough last week, it gets much easier against the Cadets Snider 42 - Northrop 14 - Panthers roll the Bruins by running the ball down their throat

Stated perfectly. If Warren continues to turnover the ball 3-4 times per game as they are now, really good teams will make you pay. I am not sure if their offense is even average, I would put them below average. Defense is great for sure, but that alone won’t win them the state title

Ok, I am in on the Hoosiers folks. Here is the rest of the schedule: At Northwestern - 13 point favorite 85% chance to win Nebraska - 71% chance to win Washington - 73% chance to win Michigan - 68% chance to win At Ohio State - 17% chance to win Purdue - 94% chance to win Per ESPN analytics IU is a sizable favorite in every remaining game except vs. Ohio State. 11-1 would be incredible, but having watched every opponent on the schedule it is very doable

Let’s be honest, the other polls don’t know 🤬.

Let’s discuss the conundrum of Warren Central. Their best win is Snider yet they are #6. Who are they beating in the top 10? 20+ turnovers in 6 games. Lawrence North is up next week and I see a loss coming for Warren. Hey, maybe they prove me wrong, but LN just pounded Ben Davis and dropped 58 points on them while Warren squeaked by BD by 3 points in double overtime. Very interested to see this game

BD is looking at 3-6 realistically. Loss to Carmel to go 1-6 and then Lawrence Central and North Central likely wins. Sorry, they aren’t beating Brownsburg, no how, no way

Where do you have Ben Davis? Using that rational, a 1-5 team that has zero quality wins shouldn’t even dream of sniffing the top 25

Now, I am not going to tell you Snider is a top 10 team one bit, but Decatur Central, Mishawaka, Evansville Memorial, and Concord just would not beat Snider.

Yep

So was doing all those crazy things we did as teenagers, but doesn’t mean I would want to be a teenager again

Yep, don’t think if they play any of the top 3 that their offense is going to do much. Those teams will score on their defense. Frankly, I think all of my 2nd tier teams would beat them as well That part

Sagarin is a complete joke. I put zero credence in it

Very good team, got them in the 2nd tier with Crown Point, Cathedral, Warren Central, and Lawrence North. Brownsburg, Westfield, and Center Grove in the top tier

Lawrence North beating Ben Davis does not shock me at all, beating them 30 points and scoring 58 points shocks me a bit

Yep

As I stated earlier this week, no way Snider was losing to Homestead this year
