okay bear with me this is gonna be a wild ride.

first thing were doing is moving to a 15 game regular season, and forcing out of conference opponents, so we can get proper ratings for all teams.

were getting rid of the mercy rule because its shit.

were getting rid of the all in format.

10 points required to make it to playoffs

1 point for a win against a school of 400 or more

2 points for a win against a school of 1000 or more

no location based games in playoffs, this bracket is seeded all the way from first to last. by sagarin rating.

higher seed gets home team every single game.

only one tournament all classes duke it out together

state championship is a best of three played on the same day (so I still get to watch football all day), since it would otherwise only be one game.

Mr. Football exclusively goes to a player from whichever team comes out on top, because lets face it, he earned that shit at this point.

edit: I'm aware 'the best solution' is a stupid name for an idea, however I had to change it to that after a sudden realization about the former title.

I was big on bell when he should have won it and he has proven him himself to be a much better player vs Kiser. Bell currently raking in nfl money vs Kiser playing for a mediocre d1 team. That was biggest travesty in recent history. Hopefully history doesn’t repeat and Bowen win granted he is committed to a mediocre team but there aren’t many top recruits in the state.

I almost remember mentioning a few times here and there that maybe beating up a 1a schedule shouldn't qualify.

So I guess what you think of me and my claim is that no one can argue that New Pal is not the best team, that New Pal will roll through the competition with ease, that New Pal has no weaknesses, and that if New Pal is challenged at any point the disqualifies them as the best team in the state. Yeah I am sure you can assume that from one statement where I say that I believe New Pal is absolutely the best team in the state of all the classes.

Let me also say this which is consistent with other posts I have made:
- NP will be challenged every week bc of the target on their back being #1

- NP is the most balanced team I have ever seen in HS football, but that doesn't mean they don't have weaknesses bc they do

- NP is their biggest opponent, but there are several teams that could take them down that I believe are some of the best teams in the state too (Please argue with me that there can only be one best team in the state bc of semantics)

- NP is only the best team in the state as an opinion, however, they can at the very least make it a fact they are the best team in 4A by winning at LOS

- Yes I believe that it is possible for NP to lose, but then again anything is possible

- Did you not admit you believed Mt Vernon was the most improved team in 4A? Yet turn right around and discount their achievement of being the most improved bc you wanted to make NP not seem as good bc Mt Vernon has a freshman QB? I guess a there is no such thing as a freshman QB being better than an upperclassman QB? Is that your argument? Good luck with that one. Luke Ertel is one of the better QBs in 4A and will prove to be one of the best QBs in the state sooner than his senior year. He improved tremendously from week 4 and showed how good he can be by playing in his first playoff game being one of the main reasons why MV hung in there so well

- I believe that the best team, in my opinion, can also be challenged in a tough game by one of the most improved teams in 4A (your statement not mine) at their field. I also believe it could have happened even out our field. I believe both of those can exist and be true. 

Sheesh Temptation it I hope you don't make everyone else you have to spell it out bc you take all of their posts literally. And here you go pushing me to write long posts again.

 

did you just triple post? thats not a good look

next thing you know you're going to be quoting and responding to yourself

I think its a splendid idea to cut the playing field in half

after the officiating I saw friday night, it can't hurt to reduce the amount of games played, if not for any reason other than to keep these people off the field.

MW1971 already banned? Is that a record? 

i can tell you from experience that it is not a record

I tried

can't name one team in the state not on this list that should be ranked over GS

Still don't like HSE(#6) in the top 5 tho.

It really makes you wonder if they were sitting guys for one reason or another. If you look at the body of work of both programs over the course of the season, the final score makes no sense whatsoever. 

What a weird box score

shutout till the fourth and then 45 total in 1 quarter

Knowing the difference between to/too/two isn't exactly academic writing either lmao.

I find the grammar police annoying usually, just thought calling someone "not to smart" was too ironic not to say something. 

It is a forum

I write in a way that gets my point across and nothing more

Were you unable to understand what I wrote?

Just now, scarab527 said:

Too* 

Not a great look messing that up when attacking someone else's intelligence. 

This isn't exactly academic writing

if you'll take note I also just start a new line whenever I feel like.

I guess when Snider played New Palestine in the state title game a few years ago people were saying Snider should stay home as they would be blown out I am sure you were one of them… By the way, Snider beat New Pal in of the great state title games in Indiana history… Thanks for your concern though

I was sitting in the end zone during that game.

This in no way invalidates what I said previously.

whoever comes out on top in 5a this year would get waxed by every 5a champion of the past decade, as well as most of the 4a champions of the past decade.

this Snider team would get blown out by the Snider team of 2015. 
Reading comprehension is not that difficult

Also, if you would care to read I originally stated that Snider was the only hope in the north, so please redirect your tears to the guy that thinks they won't make it out of the sectional, he isn't to smart but he has a lot of heart.

If they could of done it. They would of opted up like every coach can do. Since they didn’t I guess they couldn’t do it

Multiple teams? Are we talking two teams here?

Without breaking a sweat equates to blowing out your opponent. Let's wait a few weeks before drawing that conclusion. 

2 teams below 5a could name their score on their way to the 5a trophy, but I believe up to 5 could make a legitimate run to the trophy if given the opportunity

Over the last decade there have been multiple teams in 5a which lost in the sectionals, or regionals. Some of these teams that were sectional cannon fodder, would dominate the playing field of 5a this year.

This is one of the weakest years 5a has had since the mega schools split into 6a.

whoever comes out on top in 5a this year would get waxed by every 5a champion of the past decade, as well as most of the 4a champions of the past decade.

I get a good little chuckle every time I hear that "5A is weak." 

If multiple teams in classes lower than 5a could walk in and take the trophy without breaking a sweat is it not weak?

Snider right now would lose to merrillville by 7-10

My post was about the fact that regardless of class the north is going to get torched come thanksgiving. Snider gets the benefit of the doubt because imo 5a is incredibly weak across the board, and I think they could sneak in and potentially win the thing.

I also believe that as a whole, Northwestern Indiana high school football is not good. Do with that what you will.

To edit onto that, because I can already hear the screeching out my window. 

There have been a few great teams to come out of the north recently, these are what we call "outliers"

none are present this year

and if one was it certainly is not Merriville.

You cant forget merrillville. Which is favored over snider 

I absolutely can

There isn't a team north of Carmel that has a fighting chance, other than Snider.

So the argument is that Northwood beat a bunch of 3a schools 17 years ago and so now they are better than WC, got it. makes perfect sense

yeah right hudl wouldnt even take the film of a Northwood WC game, you'd have to upload it to Pornhub.

Yeah WC doesn't belong in the top 10 even this year, and tbh arguments could be made for Top 20. But this is still the same WC team that played CG within 10 points, a team that very well could make a run for the 6a state title if they weren't going to get clobbered by cathedral on the way.

This same WC team played BD relatively close, and beat king, overrated or not they are the only team to have beaten them so far.

A win over pike would be an attainable huge achievement for Northwood.

Hell Northwood doesn't even have any business in the state title discussion of their own class.

Oh boy my favorite topic

6a Cathedral over Carmel

5a Snider rolls Whiteland

4a Roncalli rolls ??? not much of a game

3a Chatard rolls ??? not much of a game

2a no idea I can't name 10 2a schools.

anyone thinking Northwood can play with WC for 2 whole quarters is out of their minds, what am I reading.

Anybody ever really “lay money” on high school athletics, lol?

frequently

You can tell yourselves whatever you need to, cathedral is going to mop the floor with everyone come tournament time. But as a friendly word of advice, id stray from putting any money down on HSE going to Lucas this year.

I seem to find myself enjoying the other state championships that don’t include 6A.  Have been a number of great games with great teams that are on the list after the top 5.

Especially 3A…and 3A is never going to crack the top 5.  Once in a lifetime special 3A teams would barely make the top 10 on most rankings…but they sure do have a lot of competitive teams who put on great games and are worth following 

 

 

It's pretty much just Chatard.

I've always been under the impression that football would be better suited to be played on a blacktop

If you can win by 100 you should be trying to push it to at least 90.

1. Cathedral

2. Center Grove

3. Brownsburg

4. Roncalli

5. Carmel

Anything after 5 doesn't matter

This is my favorite trick play.
