East will have played a Top 10-15 schedule in the entire state after the 3rd game.. Not going to find many teams that played a tougher 1st 3 games. Having watched East vs Whiteland week 1 I thought for sure we were going to start 0-3... but whatever Gaddis and that team did in practice last week really turned everything around. They looked excellent (minus about 8 minutes of gameplay) against North. Defense laid some HUGE hits on kids, the East O-Line really looked good and super physical. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Been a top 5 baseball team 3 of last 5 years. State Runner up in 2019. Would have been Top 5 again in 2020. Now having said that, they won’t be as strong in 2021 but Columbus North will be strong again. North has been top 10 program over the same period.

I don’t disagree with you about the need to change the conference or increase size.

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.

Just going by what votes came in 🙂 if you look in the paper’s when college rankings come out they usually have teams out of the top 25 and how many votes they received.

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.

Conference affiliation and alignment affects football the most. In an 8-team conference, with a 9-game season, playing a round robin schedule, conference games take up over 75% of the season.
