Seems like the general consensus here is Underwood, and then split decision on Dike/Grundy and MFL/Regina, with the bulk of the people favoring Columbus over Sumner. Can't wait to see how it all plays out. Best of luck all!

Grundy Center vs Dike-NH
Underwood vs OABCIG
Waterloo Columbus vs Sumner-Fredricksburg
Regina vs MFL MarMac

 

[ISUfan00]

Just like the WB game, MFL running game just too good. Regina also can’t stop it. Regina had a great opening drive starting from their 1, but no dice.

GC, MFL, Underwood, and Columbus looks to be the semis

Columbus
MFL

Gotta go big!

 

[BlameIt]

Columbus - I've said it many times before, they are the most athletic team in 1A. The Dome may prove them just that.

MFL - their style is like Herman Boone. It wears on you. Underwood hasn't seen anything like this on the West side.

 

[HOOTOWLHOLLOW]

Gc vs underwood in the championship

 

[GoEagles23]

Columbus
Underwood

 

[ISUfan00]

Columbus
MFL

Sticking with what I have said all year, MFL is the team to beat in 1A

 

[MsideChief]

My picks:

Underwood
Grundy Center

Here is a playoff podcast. We are West Hancock guys but BCMoore joined us. We talk some 1A football!

My head keeps telling me Underwood, after seeing MFL, it feels like they could pull this one off. I guess really at this point any team CAN win, it's up to who executes, who makes mistakes. - I will say, having seen MFL's Powell in action, he's just an extra yardage machine, you know he's going to run it, you think you have him stopped, then 5-8 yards down the field you finally stop him (unless you don't and then watch out.)

So, my judgement may be clouded, but I'm going with

GC
MFL

 

[GOPANTHERS23]

Grundy Center

21-7 grundy at half.

 

[squeezebox]

Well, it appears that the Columbus/Grundy matchup earlier this year was a farce. 42-7 with 2 minutes left. Looking forward to hopefully a better game in the Underwood/MFL matchup

 

[ISUfan00]

Looks like MFL doing what it does with the ground and pound game against Underwood

Without Powell most of the game, they really responded well. It was a real team game, offense ran for 400 yards and while underwood didn’t punt, the d forced three turnovers and turnover on downs.

Columbus - I've said it many times before, they are the most athletic team in 1A. The Dome may prove them just that.

MFL - their style is like Herman Boone. It wears on you. Underwood hasn't seen anything like this on the West side.

Looks like I got one of them exactly right, and one exactly wrong.

 

[ISUfan00]

I’m sticking with my preseason pick as MFL the team to beat in 1A. MFL over Grundy

 

[HOOTOWLHOLLOW]

Looks like GC defense is pretty stout. MFL ground and pound will eat clock. If GC gets a two score lead I don’t see MFL overcoming that. If MFL can walk the ball down the field 3 yards and a cloud of “dust “. It will be who scores last. All of that said I like GC to win it all. But should be much closer than the semis

 

[IGo42]

This is just Underwoods class and we are all living in it.

Another one of Prancing Ponies posts that aged well....

Underwood's defense gave up 41 pts and 408 yds rushing to MFL, and that was with MFLs top RB out of the game. That's nearly double the points that Van Meter put up on Underwood.

Guess Underwood wasn't as dominant as you claim.

 

[rc1963]

I'm going with MFL over GC

All GC in this one, 27-0 at half.

 

[HOOTOWLHOLLOW]

Evidently GC proved they are the best team in 1A. That was a butt kicking! I did not see that coming.

 

[Pinehawk]

A 42-0 blowout in the Title game. Woof. MFL was absolutely dominated by GC.

Everyone was dominated by grundy in the post season.
