If I were a football coach scouting out the other team prior to a big game on Friday night, I would think that I would not rely on numbers in a computer database and SOS. I would be preparing all I could to knock the other team in the mouth and flat on their a@! to secure a win whether they were #1 or # 15,000. I wouldn't brag too much on SOS. Spend half a season playing teams that would slaughter you is not a good way to keep a team healthy come playoff time. By the time playoffs arrived last year, our whole starting defensive line was gone for the season due to injuries. And we still faired well. I know a lot of you on this thread still think highly of UC because they won state last year. People thought that way of Marion county for a while too a couple of years back. This year UC just keeps dropping in the rankings. They just dropped again about 2 hours ago. Do you all base predictions on which team is bigger, stronger, faster? I seriously doubt it. Do you think UC is bigger stronger or faster than North? You probably do since your numbers on the computer are higher than ours. Except for wins. I hope you all keep relying on numbers and underestimating us from the east. That helps us out during playoff time. Also take a look at the playoff brackets from last year. North did not lose by a lot to Rockwood and Rockwood only beat Meigs by 1 point. Did UC get win state by mercy rule last year? I think not. They wouldn't have beat us that bad last year nor could they this year. Quit relying on computer rankings as they were the Gospel. Because you may just get knocked off your high horse.
