Ok? Doesn't change the narrative that 5A has been dominated by schools outside their enrollment classification. Believe Columbus East won it in a year they were up due to the success factor and Valpo won it in a year where they were 6A by enrollment but in 5A due to Cathedral being in 6A but could be wrong on that. There are some very good 5A enrollment schools, don't get me wrong, but 5A is the weakest class top to bottom and it's not really close and has been since the implementation of 6A. To argue otherwise is silly.

5A has been largely watered down since the inclusion of a 6th class and the inception of the success factor. It's been dominated by 4A enrollment schools.

They were 10-2 and 6th overall in Sagarin last year. 20 seems oddly low. Think they’re much closer to that than 20.

Coaching means a ton, but still fail to see 19 teams better than Warren given the overall talent level they possess. They are one of, if not the most talented team in the state next year...at least on paper.

Warren Central at 20?

Scary to think that the defense will likely be better than the offense IU has two legit All-American's in Ponds and Kamara and Fischer should be an all-B10 quality LB as he was last season.

I didn't realize misdemeanor reckless driving charges, which more times than not amount to a ticket, is the same thing as a felony gun charge? Less than 24 hours before a game no less.

My personal favorite is Mazi Smith, who was arrested and booked on felony gun charges on Friday October 7th back in 2022 and suited up less than 24 hours later like nothing happened. Wasn't suspended at any point during the season despite later pleading down to a lesser misdemeanor charge. https://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/2022/12/loaded-gun-large-amount-of-ammunition-found-during-mazi-smith-traffic-stop-records-show.html Just further proof that Michigan thinks they're above the law with zero regard for any rules.

Whatever helps you sleep better at night.

Stallions didn't impact the games in any way? Michigan's recruiting violations that have netted three different show-cause bans from three different coaches didn't impact the games in any way? Denial is a river.

We still pretending Michigan's only transgression is over a cheeseburger lol? Your former ball coach was just named a defendant in his former coaches hacking case where he preyed on young women and violated their privacy rights. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/chargers-coach-jim-harbaugh-michigan-officials-named-in-lawsuit-tied-to-matt-weiss-hacking-case/ Michigan has much more to worry about than something a recruit said in high school over 4 years ago.

Fairly decent chance Curry walks out of Columbus with two national titles while Michigan is marred in scandal. Michigan is up to what, 9 coaches now implicated by the NCAA....with three already receiving multi-year show-cause bans?

lol ok? I despise both programs equally if that makes you feel any better. My rooting interest in The Game is strictly monetary. Ohio State has won me a ton of money in this setting dating back nearly 15 years. Can't win them all unfortunately.

Not sure why I'm lumped in with Ohio State fans lol? But anyways.....

Again, he played behind the #1 recruit in the country who was first team All-B10 in 3 consecutive seasons. Regress doesn’t mean what you think it means in this scenario.

Has he regressed or has he simply been behind two guys in the class above him who were former top 5 recruits? Should get every chance to shine this year with Sawyer and JTT off to the NFL. * I say that knowing he would have been great in Bloomington opposite Kamara. Kudos to Curry for sticking with his commitment to Ohio State this entire team, don't see that in this day and age.

Yes. It’s more absurd how and why they were at Cathedral to begin with than the fact they all transferred together and at once.

They left in the middle of the semester, they’re already there. Most, if not all of them, were Washington Twp kids to begin with. It’s a lot more than 4-5, it’s closer to 15.

I'm taking either of the 05 or 06 Warren teams over the field.

sent you a PM

Damn near Cathedral's entire freshman team transferred to North Central this offseason.

I'd love to see the numbers on that because even then I'm not sure it adds up, let alone once you take into account the common sense factor.

And to be fair ND did get a stop and then ended up scoring, but imagine had that 2 pt conversion been for the tie rather than to cut the lead to 8.

Anyone have the rationale there for kicking a FG there to make a 2 TD game a 2 TD game? Even if ND makes it to cut the lead to 13, I saw nothing from ND's defense (or offense) up until that point which would have given me confidence that ND was going to a) stop OSU twice and b) lead two sustained TD drives at the juncture of the game.

You get 4 days after your teams last postseason game to enter. I thought I saw he withdrew but he would have been allowed to re-enter after Georgia's loss to ND. Morris has speed and that's something IU needed in the slot.
