HS Playoff Points Week 8

A.I. would get one point for a loss to Concord as a D1 opponent, not two. The 2nd point would come if Concord could get to 7 wins & they've already lost 4, so the best they can do record wise is 6-4 if they add the 10th game...

Correct the article was in error on that.. AI would be giving up 4 to make 6 and only a .15 bump to their index assuming they can win

4 div by 9 = .45
6 div by 10 = .60
dif of+ .15

If they lose then

1 div by 10= .10 thats the risk guaranteed .45 or roll the dice and get either .60 or .10 and all the rest of your pts get divided 10 instead of 9

doesnt seem like a sound bet to me lol

As noble as Coach Mitchell's offer is, I'd hope Coach Blum would think about the pros and cons of a bye week heading into a home playoff game or playing week 10 and getting destroyed by a 6'1 235 lb. Division 1 prospect.

Any of us would take the bye week. Those of us with common sense, anyway

now should AI lose to McKean or Bwine then they would be at 3.67 right on the bubble.. but that may be moot as they still could win the conference or will that go to Howard? 3.67 and maybe only 1 or 2 BP's
 
What can I say, it gets boring in Wilmington some weekends.
I understand. I'm pretty sure you I and Jeff had a beer at the Tavern one time, just before he moved up north. Either that, or you were part of the conversation and he explained who you were. I was buzzing that night, it was Jeff's turn to drive.
 
DIAA goes by the official school count on September 2016.. I believe the 1133 is this years Sept 2017 count

the official 2017 counts aren't available yet - they were just tabulated on Sep 30th and are still being audited - the 2016-2017 school year count is 1,133

I think the NJ also had Mervo wrong last week - and contained a few other errors.
 
Brandywine's better than they have been in recent years, which is awesome for that school, but AI's a better team. I'd be shocked if that upset happened.
 
Why the if play-offs started today bit? Play-offs dont start today and many of those teams have losses looming which will change their index dramatically not to mention the bonus points effect,,, I guess I just dot get the concept of the if it started today thing seems meaningless Don't get me wrong I appreciate the effort in calculating the current points just dont understand why the if the playoffs started today part is necessary or relevant
everyone does if the playoffs started today. don't be so sensitive.
 
Good work on the points because that can be a bear to deal with. Only thing that can mess with points is the autos. Who holds Henlopen south and flight b autos? If Howard does they will bump a team out. Same holds with the south. I’d have to think right now Milford holds the south. That will all change in coming weeks though.
 
Howard and Milford are the last unbeatens in Flight B and the Henny South respectively. That could change for Milford with Delmar coming up, but Howard should be unbeaten right up until the Glasgow game on 11/11. Whoever wins that game is the last team in.
 
The only thing that would really mess it up if Delmar beats Milford and Woodbridge beats Delmar and we have the three way and it goes to tie breakers.. if Delmar gets the auto then then all three will get in and someone gets bumped.. likely CA or St Marks and Flight B will only get the auto in

DMA lines are massive and Alleyne is no joke,, just dont see it this year..Actually if DMA coaches scrap that pistol nonsense and line up in the I with a FB leading the way behind that line they would plow through everyone in D2 just saying with a big line like that you need quick hitting plays not pistol plays that start 8 yards back


Disagree DMA is big and soft with bad feet. They do not have the mentality to pound teams if that was the case their offense wouldn’t struggle has nothing to do with pistol offense. And your comparing this line and Alleyne to last year when they are the same people minus a better QB. 1 lineman and a big back to compliment Alleyne.

I love the unpredictability in D2 this season but hate the fact there will be some pseudo contenders in the playoffs. Just tip your hat off to the AD and coaches that got the schedule made.
 
If AI loses to Brandywine or McKean, I will run along the Brandywine River singing "Eye of the tiger" in my boxer shorts.

Gate... give us a time for that run so we can stream it live so we can see that happen. AI is made up of the same fools gold DMA was the last couple of years. Glasgow coaches blow the game they played. Howard beat them like they stole some. Seen quite a few teams this year and talked with a lot. Don’t be surprised if Brandywine beats AI like Howard did. McKean that’s not going to happen. They folded after that Charter beat down.
