NE Indiana Power Poll - Week 3

[23andCounting]

1.     Dwenger - Have yet to allow an offensive touchdown in regulation. That will be tested this Friday.

2.    Carroll - The battle of all battles coming up Friday night. I've been saying that Carroll is the benchmark......but are they?

3.    East Noble - Nice win over the Vikings. Defense has some work to do. 

4.    Homestead - The Spartans are pretty good, and they'll have their chance to prove it this Friday against Northrop. Still not much love for them in NE Indiana. 

5.    Eastside - I'm hesitant to put the Blazers this high in the poll among much larger schools, but they just keep winning. Their resiliency is second to none. 

6.    Columbia City - Stock is up on the Eagles for now. Will it crash like it always does later in the season? Stay tuned. 

7.    Snider - Their manhandling of Luers was telling. There's a gap between the big schools and small schools. Panthers are just a few mistakes away from 3-0. 

8.    Bluffton - Another win and no ones been close. 

9.    Northrop - Nice win over North Side. Massive test coming up this Friday with Homestead. 

10.  Dekalb - Nice start for the Barons at 3-0. We'll see what they're really made of this Friday against East Noble. 

11.  Adams Central - Dropping at no fault of their own. Just some teams ahead of them posting impressive wins. 

12.  Leo - Huge upside for the Lions. They'll go higher from here. Let's not put too much stock into their loss to Chatard. 

13.  Huntington North - Big opportunity to impress this Friday against Columbia City. 

14.  North Side - It's still too early to draw too many conclusions. And we may not have an answer for another five weeks. Stock has certainly dropped though. 

15.  South Side - Losing two games in a row by double digits is an interesting way to crack the Top 15. But losing to the Spartans by 17 doesn't make you a bad team. 

First teams out: Luers and Angola

Love the way Eastside plays football, but they aren’t beating Snider, Columbia City, Northrop, Huntington North, DeKalb, or Leo. That’s just being real…
