#1 Stevie vs #4 SHG, #2 Providence vs #3 Nazareth
- Thread starter ESCC fan
- Start date
Was thinking same thing. Would be kind of a bummer for SHG with both backs out but this would be a ot of fun.
Stevie won 8A and went undefeated, so deserves to be ranked No. 1. But I agree with Oddy. Provi is the best, and CG No. 2, IMHO.
Stevenson and PC have a common opponent in LA. PC lost to them WITH Boykin and Stevenson beat them. Stevenson is definitely#1
It would be a fun playoff to watch. All teams are strong and comparable in talent unlike most other years.
Go through each positional group match-up and tell me where Nazareth is at a disadvantage against these teams.
People automatically say Naz is 6A and thus third, but I'm struggling t find where they are on the wrong side of a match-up. Nazareth is the most talented team in the state.

Me also, I can't put SHG at #4 unless they schedule tougher teams during the regular season & getting through the soft 5A south bracket is laughable. If they played a CCL or ESCC schedule then I would give them #4.
At minimum I would make SHG play Cary Grove for the final #4 seed. If they beat CG they earned it but I think CG beats SHG.
I would say the top 4 teams for the playoff would be ....
#1 Stevie
#2 Provi
#3 Naz
#4 Cary Grove.
In these matchups I think Stevie knocks out Cary Grove in a very close game and Provi beats Naz. Then Stevie against Provi, I don't know who would win that one.

If u go back and look at many of the champs in the top 2 classes-many have come down to one play. Whether its LWE in 05 v Maine South in OT or 2009 WWS GW in OT etc. very common
They also had a very brutal path just to get to the final. Lyons from one of the toughest leagues in the state, Loyola, a new trier team with one loss and winning at GBW which doesn't happen too often.
And couple that with having to beat HF a second time.
Close or not, their still state champs in the biggest class in the state.

LWE beat WWS at home 14-7 stopped Dierking 4th and inches late on their 10. nobody disputed LWE #1 in 05 cause they beat 2 great teams in close games.
Newt & Dean,
Just because they are from the biggest class doesn't make them the best automatically. See link!
Bigger isn't always better

Bigger isn't always better
14-0 against a good schedule - only 2 of he 14 played were not playoff teams. They were number 1 pretty much half the year - didn't do anything to change that. AP, edgy, sun times , tribune, herald.
Dean and Newt,
I'm just sayin you guys always insist on Bigger being better...this is your collective opinion and I will recognize that...I just don't agree with it all the time. These circumstances are why I wish we played a two game final elimination between 5-8A teams or go back to 6 classes, or in my very jaded opinion 4 classes.
