Who has a sub .500 over all record with a #2 seed? 1AA has 4 sub .500 teams and 1A has 6 all are low seeded.
Look at the brackets. Starmount got the #2 overall seed for the West in the 1AA bracket with a record of 5-6. They didn’t win their conference but they get their conferences “1 seed” because they are in a split conference and were the top 1A team.
I was told by the parent of a close friend and former teammate at WM, that Rhone left WM because of his dislike of the coaching ( the same coaching deadpool refers to as a clown show) philosophy of basically direct snapping to Rhone in a wildcat scheme every play. He chose to live with his father and play at North Stanly where a more favorable opportunity existed. Obviously legal under the rules , just as it was legal when WM benefited from a very good player/kid Williams left NS and played linebacker the previous 2 seasons. This is all 2nd hand information , so I wont say it is "FACT", but most likely true. DPX is just taking a go at NS and it definitely makes the boards more popular, but as Im sure btango and mitchell county mountie can attest , they have seen this act before on the other board until the 2nd "retirement"/sign off.
I’m no fan of DPX and his tactics of hyperbole and half - truths , but he could most likely get a top 20 list ( that I agree with ) and I’m an EM guy. There have been many , many great players at WM.
Capel, Poole, Tyrone Horne , Drake , Horne/Leake, Jordan , Little , right off the top of my head and I’m in a parking lot and on the other side of county , so there are most likely many many more that I don't know of or can think of , I’m sure he can .
Definitely not scared seeing how we still schedule each other in non conference
Question, under the old system of seeding teams for the playoffs, would TJ have not been the #1 seed? Undefeated, conference champs. Murphy at 9-1, dropping 1 non-conference loss making them 9-0, would still leave them 2 games short of TJ, and make them the #2 seed with Mitchell the #3 seed.
Well with the rules as they are TJ being#1 is a little confusing but then again the whole thing is confusing. But in the nchsaa rules TJ won thier conference automatic bid, and so did Murphy and like it or not Mitchell while 2nd in the conference won the 1a in a split conference which is still an automatic bid. Now you get into the rankings for seeding and like it or not strength of schedule plays a big role in rankings. But here's the confusing part this year Maxprep last rankings had Mitchell 5 Murphy 7 TJ 8 while no one know Maxprep computer formula they list str which was Mitchell -2.7 Murphy -13.1 TJ -15.9. But for some reason when it went to the nchsaa adjusted Maxprep rankings TJ 5 Mitchell 7 Murphy 8. But end of the day you got to play the games your dealt and I'm just glad that if Mitchell & Murphy both make it to the 3rd round I don't have to drive 6 hours round trip lol.
After I posted my last comment I got to wondering about points scored even though supposedly this system now supposed to have taken that equation out so you wouldn't have teams running up scores but that wouldn't answer the rankings results ether because while TJ did score more points than Murphy, Murphy scored more than Mitchell.
Teams still generally shy away from playing teams above them in classifications because of the injury risk...Coaches don't want players to get injured, or put players at "more risk" of getting injured before conference play...At least I know that is one of the reasons Coach Cash chooses to play the teams out of conference that he does. And to those that complain about TJ because of their conference schedule, TJ doesn't exactly have a say in the conference they are in...Nor does any team.
