I will take your Hinton 35+ continuous clock and Raise you a BCIG-OA plays to within 14 points of Hinton.

I will make that my upset pick as well.

so you are covering both bases, eh?

You think OA-BCIG will lose by 14 or less....but also feel they will upset OA-BCIG.

That's like betting on both HEADS and TAILS

Max, not attempting to offend you. Just having a bit of fun.
I enjoy your posts on IP.

If a big upset is going to happen it will be BCIG-OA... I think Hinton will win, but expect it to be a closer game than you predict.

Is there anyone in 1A that will give Regina a game?

 

[Lightning9899]

South Winneshiek or West Branch, maybe. I'd like to see how St. Ansgar's defense would fare against them. St. Edmond if they are healthy. I think them versus any of the other Top 5 could have potential to be a good game, though I'd still pick Regina against any of them.

 

[Vroom_C14]

I was thinking WB as well but Regina has gotten better each week since the loss to Solon.

St. Ansgar would get murdered. Their toughest game was a 14 point win vs unranked E'burg. Defensive numbers vs a bunch of poor teams and an avg one don't mean much. St. Eds would be lucky to do better vs ICR than last year.

 

[Lightning9899]

I would argue that Emmetsburg played at their best in that game because they knew that it was basically a district title matchup, which is some pretty good motivation. St. Ansgar's true defensive prowess may be called into question, and not without cause, but what better way to test it? The only way to know for sure is to see the game, and for St. Ansgar, the road to Regina likely leads through South Winneshiek. If the Saints can pass that test, then they will have more than earned a shot at Regina.

i think South Winn loses to N Cedar in rd #2, if they play

 

[Lightning9899]

Really? Interesting upset pick. Hmm. That does present an interesting quarterfinal scenario. I'm not certain, how far is North Cedar from St. Ansgar? Would they play 3rd round, or get sent somewhere else?

Blame it I think you are greatly over valuing your own district, I don't think Bellevue can hang with the Wolverines, and while I think North Cedar is better than Hudson, a passing game can be thrown off by the weather in the playoffs.
