Leipsic and McComb are SO fast but Leipsics defense struggles against the run on Friday night vs. Arlington......... At least until they got inside Leipsics 15 yard line. Both are good. Leipsics QB/WR combo are fantastic. I think he threw 4 incomplete passes in the first half and 3 were drops. Excellent routes, excellent accuracy and good arm strength. Interesting matchuos weeks. 9 and 10

Leipsic's week 9 result will tell alot about how week 10 may go. Very difficult to gauge any teams in the BVC, MAL this season, so many programs are down. There will be some pretty weak teams in playoff spots 5-8 this season, at least in region 22.

There's a chance DSJ could play Norwalk St. Paul in the first round.


Oh how I would love for that to happen

We will get a better idea of how legitimate St. Paul is this week.

[LoveItWhenYouCallMeBigSexy]

St. John's will make it out of the region and probably beat McComb in the regional final.

Per Joey Eitel's week 6 updates.......there are only 6 of the 30 teams in region 22 that are "above" .500

R22 is the easiest region in the entire state to get in to. The cutoff to get in will probably only be around 9.5, which is low enough that you could have 4 wins and a some 2nd level points and it's enough to get you in. Teams that play bigger schedules with 2nd level points could even make it in with 3 wins hypothetically.

[DirtyPBear76]

might seem easy to get in to but I would take most schools in top 8 over region 21 and 23. Its hard when you have so many teams from the same conference beating each other. Look at Region 24. There is probably gonna be at least 1 MAC team sitting at home week 11 that could play or beat any of the top 8 in their region.

True, but outside of DSJ, McComb, and Leipsic in R22, those teams would get beat by the Mogadores, Malverns, and Newark Catholics of those regions. Either way, it's a piece of cake to get in to the playoffs...after that...well it gets just a bit tougher.

There's only 5 undefeated teams left in D6
Mogadore, Shadyside, Leipsic, McComb, and Ada.

BTW Ada is in region 24.

Your right since going to 8 teams D6 is easy to get in but after the first 2 rounds region 22 & 24 your left with some great teams.

Oh, without a doubt. I'm just speaking mostly to R22 as far as just GETTING IN, not winning the region. The east side of the state still has a handful of nice programs, but they just lack the consistency of programs in western Ohio. 1 year Newark Catholic will win state, and the next they won't make the playoffs. Similar situation for Mogadore who has taken a drubbing more than a few times.

Not sure what that means?? Is it parity or is everybody else god awful! Region 23 and 24 each have 8 teams above 500 and region 21 has 10.

Buckshot my ole friend.......Going up a division, Region 18 has 17 of the 29 over .500 and Region 20 has 17 of the 30 teams over .500

The numbers don't lie, but div 5 teams have the ability to beat up on Div 6 teams. If your in D6 where do you go to find a softer schedule????

Good point, and there are a lot of D5/D6 leagues in the area.

Same place D5 schools do....weaker schools. Patrick Henry, Liberty Center, and Archbold in the NWOAL mostly play D3 and D4 opponents outside of those 3 listed. It's not really a matter of divisions in this case...it's just a matter of other regions are stronger and R22 is by far the weakest region in the state in terms of point values. Some of that is due to conference density being in the same region resulting in de facto losses.

Well, starting next season, you will be able to go down to Div 7........what a joke high school football playoffs have become in Ohio....and then we have a vote coming up to make private school a division of their own.......football in Ohio is ruined....way to watered down.....but hey, we want every team, whether they work hard or not to be a winner......what the hell has become of this state and country as a whole........oh, and next, let's put Obama back in office for another 4 years......that will be the real ball buster.....sorry guys...I am just venting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't go that far. I think it's perfectly fine to implement fairness in the game, although going to 7 divisions is a bit much as it's mostly just due to D1 school sizes, which is also a factor of the public/private debate. I don't like the move to 7 divisions but people didn't like the move from classes to divisions and the additions of more divisions either....we seem to live with it fine today.

[PostPlayer]

I will take private versus public divisions any day of the week but that's a whole other conversation...

7 Divisions in football? Not sure about that, particularly if private schools are going to have their own playoff.

[oberhaus]

I dont see the outrage in the 7th division. So one more team out of 700 get crowned as a State Champ. Big deal. 7 out of 700 is what 1%? Not a big deal in my book.

And who cares if more teams make the playoffs...the better teams are gonna go farther regardless.
