I still agree with the playoff format similar to Texas and or California. 10 game regular season then depending on success or lack there of you move on or are done.

It is sad that Michigan is setup that way and they have a coach or coaches who circumvent the situation. Those coaches and schools should be fired and or fined for lack of ethics. 

Wabash doesn't have much but are coached well. If LaVille has a weekness on defense Wabash will go after it. If LaVille has a good defense they will not have a problem 

LaVille will win this by 3 scores.

Unfortunately the best game this week (in CIC land) is between sectional 36 foes Eastern and Lapel, neither of which belong to the CIC, but wouldn't it be cool if they both did??????  10 team CIC with a North and South division????

I absolutely agree 

All the favourites! 

Only 2 games that should or could be close:

Delta @ ole miss- i believe Delta has to many weapons in the end and wins this by 7-10..

Peru @ Oak Hill- i am going with Oak Hill riding the momentum of their win against Alexandria. OH is better than record.

I think there should atleast be a one week break! Although it kills shall schools who rely on these 3 sport athletes to compete. 

Delta @ Mississinewa 

Peru @ Oak Hill 

Tipton @ Frankton

Eastbrook @ Blackford

Alexandria @ Elwood

Madison-Grant @ Taylor

6a. Warsaw

5a. Bloomington north

4a. Delta

3a. Southridge

2a. Ren. central

1a. LCC

Good luck in what should be a barn burner! Good luck to Cass seniors!

So he changed jerseys on his own but didn't cover tats. Lol. Since no one had tats except him he thought he would get away with it? Wow

I promise coaches and player absolutely knew about it and A.D. said " you can do it but if shit hits the fan" i know nothing!

How is Blackford’s QB??  I heard he had a torn ACL and was out for the rest of the season.  Is that true??

Hope not for him! Kid is a good athlete. That plays 3 sports. Prayers for him!

I think Alexandria wins in a close hard fought battle. Alex has one player coming back from injury.  7-14pts

Mg wins in a quick game all run. 7-14pts

Eastbrook will play alot of younger players and rest starters most of the game. 56pts

Ole Miss is playing well and do not feel blackford has the speed to stay with them. 21-28pts

Good luck and good health to all this week!

Eastbrook @ Elwood

Frankton @ MG     *Game of the week*  The battle for dub #2

Ole Miss @ Blackford

OH @ Alex

Good luck and good health to all teams.

Enough about Eastbrook.  I think my Alexandria Tigers have a decent shot at playing in the sectional championship game.  Thoughts??

Alexandria would definitely have to put together 4 perfect or near perfect quarters against Lapel/EG and who ever wins top bracket. Love their talent but just not sure they can tally 8 straight quarters of perfection  

I hope they do! This would be the time to do it!

Only way to beat Eastbrook is major ball control and no mistakes. 

Good luck to all the lewis cass team and family. Always enjoyed playing you guys in youth.

I believe it will be Eastbrook vs Eastern greentown. 

Unless the coaches at blackford, lapel and Alexandria can find a weekness that no one else can find. At this point coaching wins or loses games. Plain and simple.

It is really sad what the blind draw does to the better quality teams!

I guess Ole Miss Coach Funk must of figured out that coaching thing this past week.   😎

Lol yep!

Congrats to Ole Miss on a thorough ass whipping. Never would i thought to see the day where a team we where competitive with till high school would dominate us in a disgusting way. Good luck Ole Miss the rest of the way. 

Alex way to much talent to be embarrassed like that!

WHERE IS EVERYONE????  There used to be some great battles and hurt feelings on the CIC threads.  Now its as boring as a 6th grade girls basketball game!!!! I even tried to poke a little at the Tigers and got nothing.  Halfbackpass, flying.I.know.nothing.but.say.everything.socks, C.J.B, Riverrats.......Anybody out there?

You are right though about Alexandria so I can't argue with you. Lol

Soft schedule, a plethora of talent and cannot win the big games..

I believe Eastbrook wins this fairly easy. They outcoached against Alexandria and did exactly what their coach taught them. Eastbrook by 31.

MG wins this easy. Elwood just doesn't have speed or talent there right now. MG wins by 28-35.

Ole Miss wins this by a bunch. Alex is licking their wounds between injuries from the Eastbrook turf and the thumping they took. Ole Miss by 28

Oak Hill by alot. I think game maybe close early but Frankton doesn't have much talent either. Think Oak Hill pulls away in the end wins by 28.

Good luck to all and stay healthy!

Eastbrook @ Blackford 

Elwood @ MG

Ole Miss @ Alex

OH @ Frankton

Congrats to all that won! You deserved it! 

Was amazed at the Alexandria vs Eastbrook game. Outside of Alexandria having 2 get hurt they where totally outclassed. Never in the game except 2 plays. Then their special teams was horrific.

Although in an ideal situation this would be nice but I don't ever see this happening.   The question is, if these small schools are using the same athletes to win basketball, baseball, and other sports why can they not compete in football?   I know that's a loaded question but just something to get a Friday conversation going.  Is it lack of tradition, toughness, football knowledge, kids specializing in sports, parents attitude towards football, poor feeder systems, lack of HOT MOMS?  Thoughts?

Some of the above! I will put 1st and foremost feeder system. Most of these head coaches are not fully involved in the feeder system and do not follow up with the kids who stop playing to determine why. The extra effort is not being put in at these mediocre to week schools.

It is sad when you go from 23 - 9 in a class over 5-6 years and are still competitive but average.
