I understand that. Temptation is implying that Homestead, Snider, nor Carroll are capable of beating Noblesville by a comparable margin.

Average margin of defeat so far is 25, why are you asking for 35?

Very kind of you to put Snider in your Top 15. Thank you. So Fishers, Westfield, and Zionsville are capable of beating Noblesville by a wide margin, but not Snider, Carroll, or Homestead? Sorry, but...........................regional bias.

Wish in one hand, sh_t in the other. See which one fills up faster. Noblesville would finish somewhere between 6-8 in the SAC.

Is this just a wave of talent going through those two schools? Will they both go another decade without beating Snider and Dwenger after the 2019 and 2020 seasons? (Btw, both teams will be very good next year.) Personally, I think both programs are closing the gap as a result of leaving the NHC in 2015 and joining the SAC. Every week is a fight now instead of a guaranteed undefeated season (Homestead) and a guaranteed early round exit in the playoffs.

Verbally committed to Iowa to play basketball. Is this kid even going to consider D1 football? As a junior, he has plenty of time to contemplate. Could there be a future at IU or Notre Dame playing quarterback? Lots of options coming his way.

Hard to say. The SAC is absolutely stacked this year. I consider North Side to be a good football team. They just had the misfortune of opening against Snider, Dwenger, and Carroll. As I said in another post, those three teams would do the same thing to 90% of the state. I just can't say that a 5 point loss to North Side is any reason to believe that this is Luers worst team ever.

I have a lot of respect for South Adams. Pound for pound one of the best teams in the state this year. But the 1A school wouldn't have a morsel of a chance against 6A Homestead.

Sure, they got blasted by Homestead and Carroll. But those two programs would do that 90% of the teams in this state. The Bruins win over Concordia was an eye opener to me. The Cadets have a pretty good football team...................we'll find out how good once the 3a tournament gets here. Did Northrop turn the corner? They have a good coaching staff, and in my opinion, it's just a matter of time. Anyway, good win for the Bruins last night.

This is getting comical. After an unimpressive win against conference weakling Dwenger, the Spartans drop from 8th to 27th in the Sagarin Ratings. One week later they beat lowly Snider and drop from 27th to 56th. Fifty five teams in the State of Indiana that are better than Homestead according to this poll. Shouldn't the Sagarin Ratings be at least semi-accurate after 5 weeks? I know, it's just a poll.............bla, bla, bla. I'm just disappointed because I thought after 5 weeks it would be at least somewhat accurate. South Adams over Homestead Eastbrook over Snider Western Boone over Dwenger Rensselaer over Carroll If Sagarin is right, the SAC is in an absolute state of disarray.

Snider's offense kept this score respectable. I'm not sure I can ever remember a team scoring a touchdown every time they had the ball against Snider. This may be a first.

It's really all about Luke Goode. He gave Snider fits last year. The difference being Snider not able to force any turnovers tonight. Homestead literally had the ball 7 times and scored 7 touchdowns. Kudos to them. Definitely Homesteads year.

Not really a surprise. Snider just doesn't match up well against Luke Goode. When his career is over, he'll be 4-0 against Snider.

Correction Homestead 28, Snider 16 Panthers drove the field in 30 seconds Dwenger 3, Carroll 0 at the half

Homestead 28, Snider 10 Halftime

Homestead 14, Snider 10

They better be. And they better put their best foot forward. If not they will be on a two game losing steak. Carroll, Snider, Homestead, and Dwenger are playing on the same level right now.

It's not like they looked bad last week. There is no shame in losing to Homestead. Two redzone turnovers and a crucial penalty made a 21 point difference in the game.

Carroll over Dwenger - The Saints are coming off of a big game against Homestead and probably don't realize how good Carroll is. The Chargers were an extra point away from sending the Panthers to overtime, yet know one really want's to add them to the discussion as the SAC's best. Carroll by 10. Homestead over Snider - The Spartan's just beat a team that, in my opinion, is better than Snider. Dwenger's probably bigger, faster, and has a better defense than Snider. Homestead by 14 Concordia over Northrop - Concordia has a good team. They are battle tested. They lost to Homestead and Snider and will probably go down to Carroll. They will handle everyone else and be battle tested to start the 3a tournament. Concordia by 10 South over Wayne - I'm not I've witnessed a collapse in one year like I've seen at Wayne. I'm rooting for the Archers. I want to see this program turn the corner. South by 7 North over Luers - North Side has some fight in them, probably more so than Luers at this point. North by 7.

Homestead will have their hands full.

In my opinion, Valpo is a slight favorite over Dwenger. But after playing Homestead, Carroll, and Snider, I think the Saints will be battle tested enough to carry them to Lucas. Those four teams might be Top 20 regardless of class. I'm not sure the SAC could ever say that in the past.

If they are, it's slight. Don't discount Dwenger because they lost to Homestead. As I said before, Dwenger could go 6-3 in the SAC and still the team to beat in the north.

I was out of town, so I live streamed it. Dwenger's side was never shown, but I'm presuming their side was full with some standing? 2700 maybe for Dwenger? Homesteads side looked like all students and some parents. 600 maybe? Homestead's side wasn't jammed packed like I thought it would be. Many people staying home because of lack of seating would be my guess. Casual fans who were neutral more than likely sat on the Dwenger side.

C'mon Robert, really? You come across as educated. You couldn't sense the sarcasm there? Dwenger has an outstanding team, as does Homestead.

Agree. Two very good teams. Lot's of "what ifs" for Dwenger. Two redzone turnovers and a couple of major penalties was the difference in this game. Congratulations to Homestead, good teams make big plays when they count.
