Welcome back everyone! Thanks again to Drew Pasteur's Fantastic 50, Joe Eitel, MaxPreps, 247sports, OhioHSHelmts, and many others who make this article possible. Thanks to Nate Mullins of Heart of Ohio Sports for allowing me a platform to write this article each week. Finally, thank YOU for reading. I'm considering doing a playoff edition next week, but we'll see who all gets in locally.
I read your comments and tweaked the analytics a bit. Now, the metrics are 40% competitiveness, 20% rankings, 20% combined wins, and 20% college prospects. I personally think watching some D-I prospects balling out makes for a great game—even if the game doesn’t end up close. If games ending with slim point differential is your preference then I’ll give y’all what you want. Enjoy!
We’re already to week three of the season, and we’ve seen some great football so far. I wanted to let the reader know that over the last couple seasons that I’ve wrestled with how to properly rank out-of-state opponents for matchups. I’ve also wrestled with ranking them in the top five of the state or just keeping them as honorable mention.
