Greenwood, Columbus East, McCutcheon, Jay County, Lake Central, Castle (wins a bunch but really shouldn't lose as much as they do), Angola, Mt. Vernon (Fortville), Boonville all should win more than they do.

That was rude of me I apologize. Marion needs a feeder program. Smallest school in the conference by a lot. Do well most years to win 5 games. Marion being a basketball driven community doesn't help. The 15 best athletes of every grade grow up thinking they're full time basketball players. That, coupled with our free and reduced lunch numbers make me inclined to believe that Marion should not be on this list of 10 schools that should be sustainably good every year in football.

How many times has Ole Miss been to semistate in their past decade of dominance?

WC at LN if you're feeling frisky, Cathedral at Center Grove if you aren't. I know you said 4A or higher preferably but Indian Creek at Triton Central should be fun. 1A #1 South Putnam is at 4A 5-1 Northview, and that should be an interesting matchup. Other good ones Bloomington South at Columbus North Chatard at Harrison (WL) Delta at Pendleton Heights Westfield at Avon Couple of good ones way up north SAC Rivalry week has Homestead at Carroll, Snider and Throp in the last shared game at Spuller, Battle of the Bishops and the Totem Pole game. Warsaw at Mishawaka Couple of games of consequence down south Reitz at Memorial Castle at Jasper BNL at Floyd Central for the Hoosier Hills title

I mostly just listed random programs in random order like you did.

Ai slop

For what its worth, DeKalb seems to be up a little bit this year.

I told you

Shoulda been 3. Had a 80 yarder called back to win it. The play before was definitely a hold. The 80 yard touchdown? I didn't see it. How about Dwenger? Big time win over Carroll! State or bust for the Saints this year. East Noble looked human tonight.

Who is on the shopping list? Does any school even make sense? As the football league continues to pull apart, its a good thing the basketball league has been exciting and competitive on both the boys and girls sides.

Leanding rusher in the nation. He's got some lofty goals this year including setting the all time state and single season records. Off to a lightning start.

Call me crazy, but I think Marian beats St Joe

Real toss up! Best of luck!

Give me your Bears and keep the field goal! Some of the top small school matchups: Tipton at Western (-13.5) Alexandria at Eastbrook (pickem) Knox (-14.5) at Tippy Valley Beech Grove (-2.5) at Indian Creek Heritage (-7.5) at South Adams Angola at West Noble (-6.5) Scecina at Lutheran (-9) Linton (-13) at Sullivan Seeger at Riverton Parke (-6.5) Eastside (-10) at Churubusco North Judson (-20.5) at North Miami South Putnam (-9) at Eastern Hancock Madison-Grant (-17) at Oak Hill

3A: NECC Big division/Sectional 26 is a mess again this year. Angola is having one of their best starts in a while. West Noble still looks capable. Garrett's defense is still strong and the offense has some pop. Fairfield has had some moments early, and Lakeland's offense just hasn't quite come together yet in meaningful games. They could all beat each other on any given night imo. Concordia and Woodlan are both shaky and Tippy Valley has a telling game against Knox this week. Sectional 28 goes through Luers Field until someone from 3A beats em. The defense has been nails but the offense has little experience and is yet to click at all. They qb swapped in the second half against Snider so it will be interesting to see who starts going forward. Ole Miss and Heritage have had great starts, with the Indians being a big time threat to BL this year. 2A: AC hasn't played to their full potential yet, but are still a bit ahead of the rest of Sectional 35. And Eastside rematch would be incredible, as they are the other real contenders imo. Bluffton really hasn't put a full game together yet either. The offense has been good at times and the defense has carried the load at other times. Busco and Eastside should a fun one this week for the NECC small school division. 36 is balanced. Alex, Eastbrook, Tipton, Eastern are all off to good starts. Who knows. 1A: If out of state opponents counted towards Sagarin strength of schedule in a meaningful way, South Adams would have the toughest SOS so far in the class this season. They'll probably have to beat Madison-Grant and North Miami or Triton

Agreed on BD. Saints defense keeps them in it against anyone in 4A.

Long list of impressive squads IMO: 6A: Homestead with backup qb stifling Noblesville, Carroll hanging tough downstate. Northrop finally gets a win of consequence against another solid squad. 5A: Warsaw over Snider might have been the win of the early season if it weren't for what happened to the Panthers in week two. Northside starting to look more like a program and less like a 7 on 7 team, beat Northridge on the road by more than Elkhart did the following week. Concord vs Warsaw matchup will tell a lot. 4A: Mishawaka should be the heavy favorite in sectional 18, they nearly beat Penn and just ripped Concord, two of the best results in the class imo. EN, Columbia City, Leo, Dwenger is such a deep Sectional. I'd rank them EN, CC, BD, Leo right now I think, but they are interesting matchups for each other and all state title contenders. Sectional 20 is weak again this year. Logan or Lebanon? If Marion hangs with Lebanon this week it would make things interesting. Muncie Central beat Delta for the first time in forever and almost completed the county championship a week later, but fell to Yorktown by 3 before getting blown out by Adams Central last week. Can't wait for the Columbia City and Leo games. Watch out for Mishawaka. New Pal is in 5A this year, but a great Chatard team and Heritage Hills look good.

Luers is gonna frustrate every offense they play this year. They might go 2-7 but I also think that front 7 on defense is going to take them deep into the 3A tournament. If the young offense could put some points on the board...

East Noble looks incredibly good. Freshman Austin Phillips looks like a future Mr. Football positional candidate at LB and totes the rock like a man possessed and he's like their third guy in the backfield. Biddle has been making great choices with the ball. It will be interesting to see how Snider does with Carroll (I think its a close game). I'd say EN is the best team in NE Indiana this year and I'd pick them over Carroll and Homestead. Shoutout Southside for hanging tough with Homestead.

Busco will be athletic.

Agreed. Most likely outcome to me is a possession either way. Ill go with Pike 23-17 but it might just be your propaganda influencing me.

Maybe if East St Louis comes back down to earth

I need Snider vs East St Louis on a regular basis.
