Never thought MD would keep it that close.   Wow. 

I’m not.  It’s the healthiest they have been all season and that extends beyond the QB.  The offense is better than Memorials and the Defense isn’t far behind.  Great well executed game plan.

How did Mallory play for MD last night, I was surprised he came back.

Only ran a couple times…he did well getting the ball to Shickel.  But even more impressive was their game plan to stop our D-line.  Here is a photo of the Thacker TD.  The same technique was used to slow down the receivers…at least that resulted in a handful of DPIs and DH.

The final Sagarin rankings since realignment are listed below.  The conference was punished for its poor post season results as 2025 only had five teams finish in the top 100.

2020   2021   2022   2023   2024   2025                       21 Central 25 Mem   35 MD   26 Reitz   21 Mem   40 Mem 38 Castle   26 Jasper   42 Reitz   34 North   41 Castle   65 North 46 Jasper   31 Castle   48 Mem   52 Jasper   46 Reitz   78 MD 56 Mem   44 MD   49 Castle   56 Mem   57 MD   87 Jasper 77 MD   69 North   60 Jasper   62 Castle   77 Jasper   92 Reitz 90 North   86 Reitz   86 North   65 Vincennes 96 North   125 Castle 134 Vincennes 125 Central 95 Vincennes 105 Bosse 114 Vincennes 132 Vincennes 137 Reitz   135 Harrison 156 Harrison 107 MD   151 Harrison 198 Harrison 213 Harrison 148 Bosse 199 Bosse 212 Harrison 214 Central 218 Central 255 Bosse 150 Vincennes 243 Central 247 Central 236 Bosse 285 Bosse

A lot of injuries in conference this year, especially key offensive players on numerous teams.  That led to the worst postseason in recent memory.  Reminds me of 2013 when only four teams finished top 100.  (only 8 teams then)

2013

63 Mater Dei

64 Castle

65 Reitz

98 Central

110 Bosse

117 Memorial

123 North

180 Harrison

At least the bottom of the conference was competitive then.  Next year shouldn't have those issues, as there will be at least 9 OOC connections before postseason.
