Surprised to see Chatard that low.. anyone know if they lost a lot from last year? Finished 13th in Sagarin last season, obviously isn't the be-all end-all, but still had a pretty impressive resume as usual

They are just young at the skill positions. There is a SR QB but his supports are mostly in the JR class. The defense was a strength last year but also graduated some talent. Overall they aren’t as skilled as the past few years so, like has been said above, they rely on depth. That and their uncanny knack in finding 5’6 150lb running backs. Looks like they out recruited the state again in that valuable demographic. They will likely finish the year ranked 15th or so.

Concord lost their speedster RB to Purdue. I'm not sure they're returning anything that would indicate they're a Top 25 team.

Warsaw lost a ton in the trenches, as well as their starting QB (albeit - who was hurt for a good portion of the season - but he put the team on his back during their 5A tournament run). Taking my orange-tinted glasses off, it wouldn't shock me if the Tigers go 5-4 in the regular season with a difficult schedule.

Concord went 10-1 last year and returns back their starting QB Bo Brunner who threw for 1,500 yards and 16 TDs and ATH Char'rese Breveard who 1,500+ all purpose yards receiving, rushing, and returning and 12 total TDs. That combination alone makes them a top 10 5A team at the least, and comfortably a PRESEASON Top 25 team in my opinion.
