Will the 6 games outside the conference Friday be enough to "connect" all the teams in the SIAC for Sagarin? I believe so, since they will then be connected to all their opponents and so on. Still curious how SIAC is rated without any outside opponents. Can only be last year's ratings?

Huge advantage, for fans.

Winner of Jasper/ Central will go up about 20 rating points.

I bet you drive a car. Delusion or devils advocate?

Maybe with a little hard work, a little luck, and the good Lord willing, we can keep it close and pull it out at the end.

Evansville Central is a very dark horse. Undefeated in a closed conference, no way to compare them to rest of state,how good are they?

Win! Its why you play the game.

OK to criticize the administrators, never criticize the kids. We were all young and foolish at one time. The kids are a mostly product of their parents and coaches. Don’t school boards act on the recommendations of the administrators? Are they taboo? What you say ADs?

Seven of the teams in the SIAC ended the season last year with a Sagarin rating above 50. right now only Central is above 50. Doubtful last year rating are influencing this years ratings. There must be an arbitrairy influence or unrecognized consequence of a closed conference?

Looking at Sagarin ratings. Closed SIAC schedule messed up ratings? No connecting games?

President's great, Governor's great, Commissioner's great, what a love fest.

This may lend some insight to the weather forcast. I believe ESDT time is -4 hours Zulu or GMT. https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/qpfloop_6hr_d17.html

Ditto

Rule Clarification: 4th down on Jaspers 46, Jasper punt is partially blocked, goes high in the air comes down on Jasper 48 where NV player attempts to catch it, did not control it, and Jasper recovers on their 47. After officials conference Jasper was awarded ball. Correct?

Jasper dominated for over 3 quarters, 35 -7, tried to run out the clock, but Northview would have none it, scoring 3 TDs via the pass in the final few minutes. NV moved the ball all night, and would have been a different game, if not for several dropped passes. NV QB probably threw over 40 passes, no interceptions!

Sectional opponents Jasper and Northview are similarly ranked by Sagarin, 60.75 and 57.07, and their respective opponents this Friday, Mt. Vernon and Indian Creek, are also very closely ranked, 52.03 and 52.23. The games this Friday should provide some insight on where they all stand at this point in the season.

Would this set a precedent, or has it been done before?

I like it, but with a warning first. But what was actually said, and what is profanity? "Cr*p" ?Sh*t"? Pay them more. Trust free enterprise.

Of course the in-house people were hoping they'd stay in-house, but all the out-house (no pun intended) people I have spoken to recently and in the past felt it was time for a regime change. Coach Ahrens was an exceptional motivator, leader and teacher, and always put the welfare of the kids first, and was a positive influence on the community as a whole. I hold him in the highest regard. Maybe he was too close to the community when it comes to the entitlement of the student athletes and parents, just an anecdotal observation.
