Think it will come down to strength of schedule...which is hard to figure how TSSAA will rate that

 

 

You think it would be based on the STENGTH OF SCHEDULE that is listed on CoachT ...

or the Prep Performance Rankings on the TSSAA site ....

Something very odd about the SOS on CoachT ...... Why is Sweetwater not listed?

Tie breakers to determine wildcards are first overall record which looks to include several 5-5 teams, then they go to greatest number of wins over teams winning over 50% of their games, then the team whose opponents have greatest number of wins, then the team whose opponents have fewest number of losses then the team whose has the greatest number of wins within their own class then OT procedure to determine winner.

 

TSSAA says this is already all mapped out but I don't see how it could be until they know who is IN. Don't like the idea that the TSSAA knows who is in and placing them where they want them.

If you go to tssaa.org you can find the information for the tie breakers. Just click on 2007 football player information then scroll down and click on Division I class 2a playoff information. There's plenty of good information there.

6 wins will get you in as a wild card. The way I see it is Rockwood is in, Adamsville has a one win Halls left to get to 6 and Richland Has the same situation with Loretto. So it would be safe to say that those are 3 of the 5 wildcard teams. The next 2 spot most likely will be filled with 5 win teams. Head of the list is Trenton who already has 5 wins and is first in the 3rd tiebreaker (greatest # of V's over teams with 50% winning %) with 3. The next 2 in line has to be Humbolt and Sweetwater. Both would have 5 victories, both would have 1 win over a team with 50%, in opponents victories HB would beat our SW 36 to 34 and secure the 5th wildcard playoff slot. All this is dependent on no MAJOR upsets, which could happen and no one could figure it out until after next Fridays games.

While I applaud attempts to help us understand what's happening in the world of sports, the Strength of Schedule does not shed much light. It seems to me that it rates all opponents equally, based on their win/loss record and their opponents win/loss record, not taking into account the win/loss vs teams from schools of different size. Thus you have teams that have played teams of greater size (eg. 2A vs 5A) treated the same as teams who have played schools of smaller size (eg. 2A vs 1A). So in this way a school that has really played a weaker schedule (because they played down and not up) can have a higher strength of schedule than a team that has taken on the largest size division. Makes no sense to me! There's no way playing a good or even average 5A team is equal to a good or average 1A or 2A team. If they were, then there would be no reason for our divisions 1A to 5A. So SOS needs to give greater weight to playing up when it does its figures. So if your team isn't on the list, don't worry, SOS doesn't amount to a hill of beans! /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
