11 regional titles, 3 semi state titles, 1 state title. I’m catholic.  I’d send my kids to catholic school. This isn’t a hatred it’s just pointing out the reality of the situation  

 

I would mention six season ending losses in semi-state or state to Catholic schools.

Forest Park didnt have varsity football so Alex bettag moved to HH high school to play football

Yeah.  HH had transfers long before GS did.

Did the uniforms get cleaned?

I am not from Posey County but maybe in 2005 when NP went to state they mght have been a little more excited about that than a sectional semifinal win over MD. 

That was before GS invented football so it doesn't count.

Surprised they didn’t use that Sophomore FB that’s really good

He has almost exclusively played defense this year.

OUR year.

I'd say it is NP's year.  If it's not, then I can't imagine it would ever be their year.

Massey Ratings:

North Posey at Mater Dei (-15), 81% chance of victory for the Cats

I'm guessing MD is the best 3-7 2A team in the state, but they are 3-7 for a reason.  This isn't last year's team.  It should be MD +15.

Massey Ratings:

Castle at New Albany (-36), 99% chance of victory for the Knights

 

I think it is actually Castle -36

It is amazing a team like Central can go from conference champs to this overnight.  They go from 13-1 to 2-28 since.

MD has to win state to avoid their first losing season since 2008.  Can they do it?

Still not sure what it means. As I understand it, it takes a few weeks and even with that

The entire state will be connected after round 1.

No, but one can dream of the day when pesky high schooler's don't get in the way.

You forgot Reitz, as they play Boonville. 

Reitz -39.36 or -110.61 for the conference.

This is the week the SIAC connects to the state on Sagarin.  Only VL (-51.53), MD (-28.37) and Harrison (+8.65) play non-SIAC opponents.  Expect major downgrading of the SIAC on Sagarin as those three schools will likely under perform collectively (-71.25)

Bosse is a trap game for Jasper.  Sloppy play and turnovers would mean a Jasper loss.

THROUGH WEEK9/REGULAR SEASON

 

Team Offensive YPG 

1. Bosse 461.0 YPG

2. Reitz 382.4  YPG

Team Offensive Passing YPG 

1. Bosse 232.1 YPG

2. Reitz 184.7 YPG

Team Offensive Rushing YPG

1. Jasper 294.6 YPG

2. Bosse 228.8 YPG

 

 

It's hard to believe a team with these numbers only wins three games.  I really wish they were still in 3a.

I don’t see many schools in either PAC division outside of HH, GS, and maybe SR that would look for games vs the top half.  

The recent history for those schools is SR beats Linton four years in a row, loses year five, then has them replaced with Washington.

HH replaces VL with MD (a big upgrade at the time), loses two years in a row, then replaces them with Mt. Vernon.

I've never gotten an answer as to why either series ended.  (SR v Linton, HH v MD)  Both seamed to make sense from a schedule and competitive standpoint. 

In the new PAC most non-conference games are cross division.  The only non-PAC games with 3a or larger schools are Washington vs Edgewood (4a) and Tell City vs Hancock County (3a if they were Indiana), and GS vs IMG acadamy.

PS - If you haven't read the article in the C&P by @kylesokeland regarding the closed nature of SIAC football scheduling, I highly recommend it. 

I prefer competitive scheduling and conference alignments should always be reevaluated to encourage it.  The article touches on aspect of that. 

The article suggests big match-ups between SIAC, PAC, and Indy schools could happen if the conference wasn't closed.  I agree, that could happen.  But considering it basically rarely or never happened prior to a closed conference, I'm not sure why it would happen if the conference opened up.

...additionally, the improvement of VL and Bosse make this the deepest the conference has been since expansion.

The conference Sagarin ratings are particularly odd this year.  Typically the conference is drastically overvalued or undervalued before being connected during round one.  This year the conference is overvalued.  Currently the conference has 8 of the top 10 ranked teams in the state on predictor with only the SIAC wanna-be's Brownsburg and Center Grove rounding out the top 10.

Typically the in conference Sagarin rankings match closely the actual standings.  This year that did not happen at the top.  I don't understand this at all but I suspect Sagarin might have wrong game results for North or Reitz to account for them being switched in the rankings.

I included the final 2022 standings after state.  I expect the final ratings after state to place Reitz in the 20's and the 6-3 second place teams to be in the 30-60 range.
