Just looking at scores, is North the best or one of the best 1-3 teams in the entire state?   Lost by 3 to Castle at the 1 yard line, lost by 4 to Memorial with key turnovers, and by 4 to Reitz.  Those three teams are a combined 11-1.   
 

what about Harrison?    Scrappy play and opportunity football had them in both games with North and Castle.  SIAC is always interesting.  

North has the 33rd toughest schedule. North Central (Indy) has the 4th. 

Both are 1-3. North Central is ranked much higher in the Sagarin ratings.

But yes, North appears to be a very average SIAC team right now.

Just pointing out all the close losses (that could all be wins).   If they were 4-0 they would be in first in the conference.       If all we are looking at is SOS, HH has 229 rated and GS has 176 rated.   So what does this mean?

The Associated Press could only find a handful of voters in Indiana. It seems that the USA Today/Gannett writers boycotted it. Kind of a shame to see a poll with so much history just fall apart. Another L in journalism we can chalk up to USA Today/Gannett.

When Gannett ended its connection with the AP a few years ago, we were informed that we were no longer allowed to vote in AP polls (high school or college). So a bunch of us on the high school side, including myself, chose to form our own poll. No boycott. Hope that helps.
