So is Cathedral still 6A? I'm seeing them in both 6A and 4A.

Jeff and Warsaw in 5A North makes the top half of the bracket ultra interesting. With Valpo, Merrillville, and Mishawaka already there, 5A North will be battle tested and ready to defend North's two year win streak against the likes of Decatur Central or East Central.

Regionals or semi-state for all we know. Right now it's looking like both will have potential for deep runs.

Nope. One more game of throwing against fellow Iowa recruit Logan.

Dumbest article I've ever read. All I got from that is that is that Trump supporters and black people are more ignorant that Biden supporters and white people. Sad that the Washington Post would even post such discriminatory garbage.

Good for him. Great coach and program.

Thanks for the vids. Good stuff.

I see the gap closing. Whether that was just a two year trend remains to be seen. But both Carroll and Crown Point seem to be trending up as long as there isn't a major coaching change. I'd like to add Penn to the conversation, but like Homestead, they're just trending sideways. I think we can all agree that HSE '22 & Westfield '23 were among Indy's best.

It started with a typo. Temp pointed out that the class of 2022 would be football years 2018-2021.

Center Grove played in the last four state title games, they won three of them.

Let me put this a different way. We'll use Center Grove as an example..........any year. Clone their team, put Penn uniforms on them and play Penn's schedule. When the two teams meet at the end of the season, the team wearing the CG jerseys win by two touchdowns. It's another day at the office for the guys wearing the CG jerseys. The guys wearing the Penn jerseys won't know what him them until the damage is already done.

Two teams of equal caliber aren't separated by four touchdowns no matter the schedules in my opinion. Not sure were talking about the same thing here.

The landscape of football now is different than what it was in the 90's. A good team could obliterate a weak schedule and still win the 5A (now 6A) championship. To make a run to Lucas and expect to win, you have to see at least one, preferably two title contending teams. I think Penn should pick up one team from Fort Wayne (Carroll or Snider) and one team from Indy (pick from ten). Penn and Center Grove could be on equal footing, but if Penn doesn't see the caliber of a Top 10 team during the regular season, it will be like hitting a brick wall when they do. For Center Grove, it's just another day at the office, it's nothing new to them to play a team like Penn. I'll take the Trojans by two touchdowns in that scenario. Scheduling Mishawaka is fine if you're shooting for the 5A title. But 6A is another ball game.

I thinking he meant class of 2024. In terms of football seasons, it would be the 2023 class. But yes, technically, the class of 2024 went 3-1 in the state finals.

I can't imagine he's for everyone.

Has Saban's arrogance too, maybe a even a little more. I struck that as odd being his first press conference at a Power Five program. In the end, I think he'll work out. I like his dedication to preparation. Bob Knight would approve.

Agree. Coaching at the Power Five level can hit you like a ton of bricks. You're now coaching against the best of the best.

Sure, unless you're taking the Irish over the Tide.

If it's the four best teams, then Georgia should be in. If it's based on field of play and what they earn, the Alabama should be out. Like I said earlier, the committee needs to pick a lane and stay in it. I still think they were "terrified" of the bible belt aftermath if they left the SEC out.

I was thinking the same thing. Undefeated and beat the team that finished #1 in the final poll (before conference championships). I'm sure they are already designing their hats and tee shirts.

Never thought of that, excellent point.

Yeah, that doesn't garner much interest. On a good note though, the playoffs should provide eleven fun games to watch.

How exciting.

You sure about that? Georgia's not one of the Top 4 teams? "Exact" would be an opinion, nothing more. I'm not so sure Texas could beat Ohio State or Oregon.

That's the problem I have with it. Pick a lane and stay there. If it's the "best teams" and not "who's most deserving," then in with Georgia, out with Texas.
