Seymour 47, Jennings County 7 Final

Jeffersonville is actually playing at Columbus East due to field construction. Also, Jennings County is at Seymour rather than the other way around. Regardless, I also have all four of the teams you picked to win. Seems like another easy week of pick ‘em.

Can’t go against @boilerfan87 nor @Fkfootball here. Seems like the consensus will likely agree with all five picks here.

Just a pet peeve of mine. Even I like to be a heel and yell at the sky every so often.

Right but the polls are only supposed to rank a top 10. For some reason, John Harrell and members of the media will rank the teams outside the top 10 that received votes. So if 13 total teams receive votes then they’ll rank the teams out 1-13. If 17 teams receive votes then they’ll rank all 17 teams. And so on. There should just be a top 10. If you want to note a team received votes then you can do so without attaching a ranking to it. There have been several years where teams with no business receiving votes have done so. It’s like the voter wasn’t paying attention. It happened to Seymour during one of their bad years a few years back. They were 2-5 and received a vote so Harrell and the media referred to them as the #19 team in 4A when they were nowhere near being the 19th best 4A team.

Right but they don’t say those teams are #26 or #29 or what have you.

As far as I’m concerned, there is only a top ten and East is unranked. We don’t give a number ranking to those outside the top 25 receiving votes in college sports. Why do we do this with IHSAA football? Not a knock on you but I’ve seen the media do the same here.

Still doesn’t beat last year’s schedule when we took the Ohio state champions down to the wire in week three last year. I’m still mind-blown that we were able to even be within 21 points of them.

For some reason I thought there was a third kid.

Remind me again but who are the players on Floyd Central getting D1 offers?

Both weeks?

Eastern Hancock fumbles it away on the kickoff return and New Albany takes a couple of knees to win it 50-43

New Albany puts up 8 and now leads 50-43 with 1:03 remaining

Eastern Hancock with 14 straight points and they now lead New Albany 43-42 with 6:49 left

Brown County beat Jennings County 12-7 New Albany with the touchdown and PAT. They lead Eastern Hancock 42-29 with 10:53 remaining

Jeffersonville beat Seymour 28-7 South Dearborn beat Madison 32-26 in overtime

What’s the scoop on McDonald? I don’t remember him playing in the second half last week either.

What do you mean by that?

They’re a ten team conference now so they no longer play non-conference games

I’d like your comment but I’ve apparently used up my small quota of those for the day 🙄

I’m kind of leaning that way too. I like the freedom of scheduling a third non-conference opponent.

Curious to know what you guys think. With Madison leaving the conference at the end of the school year, would you guys want the conference to remain at seven teams or return to eight teams? Or would you get even crazier and want to shoot for nine or ten teams? I know the SIAC and SAC each have ten members and play a conference-only schedule in the regular season. Please don’t post anything about the teams or schools that should or shouldn’t join the conference. We’ve already discussed that a million times. I just want to know how many teams you think should be in the conference.

Seymour is being coached by Tyson Moore who graduated from Columbus East in 2011. Played for Bob Gaddis and is the son of Center Grove’s head coach, Eric Moore. I know he’s only 27 but I feel like he knows what it takes to build a winning program. Seymour could be a threat in the HHC if he sticks around.

My picks are in bold. Bloomington North at BNL Columbus East at Columbus North Jeffersonville at Seymour Jennings County at Brown County New Albany at Eastern Hancock Providence at Floyd Central South Dearborn at Madison

Gaddis’ first two seasons (2001 & 2002) at East were the last time East started a season 0-3.
