I empathize with FSU, I really do, but strength of schedule triumphs being undefeated. You just can’t say or believe FSU would be undefeated playing Alabama’s schedule. I see an absolute minimum of 2 losses, most likely 4-5 losses for FSU. I truly believe the best 4 teams still didn’t get in. If it were me, Georgia has to be in and I would take Texas out

I predicted this exactly right as much as it pained me to do so

Counterpoint 2: Alabama played Chattanooga, Middle Tennessee State and South Florida. That is a murderers row of Patsy Central

Florida State would be a double digit underdog with their first string QB vs. any of the top 8 much less with a 3rd string QB. Let’s be honest, had they played the schedule of any of the other top teams, 3 losses at a minimum. Here’s a thought, schedule a real non conference schedule instead of Patsy Central. That goes for all of the top teams. Middle Tennessee State. Youngstown State. Incarnate Ward. Sadly, I think the scheduling of cupcakes will get worse with the playoff growing to 12 teams

I agree on the top 4 for sure, even though I am not a fan of Texas and Alabama. Personally, I would flip Ohio State and Oregon, but that is just me. If Florida State makes the top 4, it will be a sham as I have no doubt they will get housed by anyone they would play. Even if their top QB wasn’t hurt, I would feel the same way

1. Michigan 2. Washington 3. Texas 4. Alabama

I hope this guy is legit, but I have my concerns. 62 years old really doesn’t lead to having time to build a program. Not sure why he feels the need to poke the big boys, but I guess it is better than Biden talking about vanilla ice cream…

100% agree with you

Northrop gets torched yearly by Luers…

IU is an upgrade?

I will be stunned if Mike Hart comes to IU

Can you blame any of them? IU football has been a dumpster 🔥

I have full confidence that the officials could and would adjust to 7 man crews. Example, MLB uses 4 man crews throughout the regular season and goes to 6 man crews for the playoffs

No worries. Don’t want to argue about it, you have your opinion, which I respect, just see it differently

I like your idea sir. As the games grow in importance, not only should you have the best officials, but adding a couple to avoid missed calls should be considered a good thing. Alas, the IHSAA stands in the way, shocker

Quite a bit actually. What don’t you understand? There have been many years 2A football was really good and deep with 8-10 teams that could win a title. Not this year. Go back and watch 2A South and tell me that is good football. It’s not. Did it have some close games? Sure. Again, was it good football? I enjoy 1A and 2A football. I am not one of those people who bash on lower class football and think that 5A and 6A are the be all and end all. There have been so many great teams in 2A like Mater Dei, Luers, Eastside, LCC , etc… This year just was not one of those years. It happens

I disagree. If you didn’t see LCC vs Luers in the semi-state from the beginning of the tourney not sure what to tell you. Please don’t even get me started on the South. There was quite a bit of banter amongst Luers and LCC fans how these were not even close to their best teams and they were shocked they got to semi-state, much less the winner going to state. Great year for North Posey, but all it took for me was to see one possession offensively for them to know they had zero chance against Luers and it would end up a blowout. Everyone knew from day 1 it would be Lutheran vs. Adams Central in 1A. No surprise there. Unlike some, I think Luers would beat both of them, but North Posey would get smoked by both teams 2A North was far superior to 2A South. Bluffton and Eastside were goodLCC was good as well. Top to bottom, 2A is better than 1A, but at the very top, 1A might be better

Eastside the last few years yes, not this year. Bluffton has improved greatly the last few years, but I did not see them beating Luers this year, some others did though. Woodlan had some really good teams when Haydock was there, not so much after he left for Wayne. Churubusco was really good for a 5-10 year period and then the bottom fell out. Really interested to see who steps out of the shadows with Luers gone for at least 2 years. My money is on Eastside, Adams Central, and Bluffton until someone proves differently

Lots of discussion about how down 2A was this year. I thought it was the worst class of football in Indiana this year by a wide margin

Gotta include those incoming freshman so it could be above 80 D1 players, just sayin I would think that EC will reload, not rebuild. Maybe I am wrong, but I would think they have a good talent base to build from

With Snider moving up to 6A, I would love to see Northrop take Snider’s spot in 5A and Snider take Northrop’s spot in 6A. If that is the case, it would be Snider, Homestead, HSE, and Fishers. Pretty good sectional in my opinion

I raise you by saying neither makes semi-state

None, but thanks for asking Grandma Temptation

I believe overall that 5A will be deeper in 2024. Hopefully, some new teams step up to the plate and create some better competition
