Week 9 scenarios and the results from the potential outcomes

The only thing he's got burning is his passion for winter sports. Being a Ridge fan, that's all he's got to look foreward to after this week.

Obviously you would think that MC would be the team that CR would sooner play but you never know. Just because a team plays in a conference that is viewed to be weaker by some people like NERD55, that doesn't always mean that they are a bad team. What I meant by wanting to play Bedford was I view them as the weaker of the three LHAC teams along with FH and BM, so naturally I would sooner play them before the other 2 mentioned team, and I am not going to assume the MC is the weakest of the playoff teams because they play in the Heritage conference that wouldn't be fair to them or their conference.

That's true Bosshog. Marion Center may not be the weakest team. There is a team in the Playoffs from the ICC. But I don't suppose CR can't play themselves so that leaves the team from the Heritage conference. lol.

[Lefteyelouie]

Regardless of seedings this is how I see the playoff teams top to bottom.
1) Tyrone
2) FH
3) Bishop McCort
4) Bedford
5) Westmont
6) CR
7) Penn Cambria
8. Marion Center
I just based this on my opinion, teams schedules and how they seem to be playing now.

[ham55]

Yes, but Bedford beat FH @ FH this year. I just love how they've managed to jump ahead so easily. Watch out for the Bisons this year. People seem to over look them...

[Lefteyelouie]

I agree ham. Bedford is capable of big things. I feel the way I do because of how well the rangers are playing now. Can Bedford beat FH? I think so. But I do feel that FH would be the favorite. Bedford turns the ball over way too much at times. Against a good team that can't happen. FH has been dominate of late. And they have done this against some good teams. I won't argue though that the 2-4 spots on my list are very interchangeable. Just where I feel they fall right now.

[ham55]

Bedford has turned the ball over lately because they've been playing lesser opponents and trying new things on offense. How many times did they turn the ball over this year vs. FH? CC? PC? Maybe 2 times through that stretch of important games. The swing back to the aggressive, pound the ball down your throat and protect the ball game plan came back into effect last week at Somerset. 0 turnovers in that sloppy game. We shall see. The real season is only 1 week away.

Ham, Over the past three weeks FH has beaten CC, PC and BM.
Bedford has played, CM, CH and Somerset. Naturally, some people will look at that and think "what have you done lately"

Does the week 3 Beford win carry more weight than a week 2 Bedford loss? How do you figure FH beating BM in week eight. Is that FH team the same team that played in week three and McCort just got worse? Is that your contention?

Has only Bedford gotten better this year? Do you honestly think you saw Forest Hills best effort in week 3? How many times did FH run twins, trips? How many times did Travis have time to pass .... he sure had time last Saturday against constant McCort pressure.

You keep using terms like domination, etc , just about anyone would say that Beford won and deserved the win, but they would also say that you didn't get Forest Hill's best game. And it wasn't just and only because of your great defensive effort (which was good).

[ham55]

So I guess if it happens again in 2 weeks, I should expect to hear all these bush league answers? I don't remember hearing them after week 3. How many times did Travis have time to pass? None, and you know why, because Bedford got after him from the ends and the speed outside in our pass coverage didn't leave anything open immediately for him to hit fast. Keep on going about the BM game and everything else. I believe we are a better team than we were in week 3, and BM is a worse team than what they were in week 2. If Bedford doesn't blow the lead vs. Westmont in the last 2 mins of the game, Bedford is the number 2 seed, and everybody is looking to knock them off again. What one game does for a team...

Please tell me where I used domination, ect. at. If you can really find it in this thread let me know. I'm actually rather anxious and excited to see where I've used that.

The great defensive effort shut out the vaunted FH offense. Need I remind you that you put 40 on Westmont the week before the Bedford game? The only 7 you got on the board was from a punt return on Bedford's J.V. teams. Keep thinking positive thoughts. We all know who is responsible for FH's one blemish this year.

[flybynight]

Bedford beat FH in 1994 too....
