Missouri State Football Class 6 playoff brackets and predictions

I Have attached a first round chart of the four Class 6 Missouri State High School football districts with my rankings and the MSHSAA ratings.

In district 1, CBC is head of the class for both ratings.  In fact, CBC should walk away with another state title.  They are a legitimate top 25 nationally ranked team and I don't think they will have an opponent that comes with two touchdowns of them.  They should knock off a down-year SLUH team by 55, beat Hazelwood West by 5 touchdowns, and route De Smet by two touchdowns in Districts.  They should beat Rockhurst by 3 touchdowns in the semi-final and beat Rockhurst or Eureka in the final by 20 points.

In district 2, Rockbridge should trounce Francis Howell Central by 54 points, then get by a tough Francis Howell team by 5 before an easy win over Blue Springs in the District final.

In district 3, Eureka is the hands-on favorite with a 49 point advantage over Ozark, then play a tough Kirkwood and scrappy Lindbergh team in rematches.  Kirkwood was tough at home against Eureka but should be a two touchdown underdog at Eureka's home field.

In district 4, the state ratings don't match up well with my ratings.  According to the state ratings, Lee's Summit West should be playing Eureka in a state semi-final game with Eureka favored by a single point, but my money goes on Rockhurst to win that tough district and play Eureka for the chance to face heavy favorite CBC in the final.  If you put Lee's Summit West, Rockhurst, Liberty and Lee's Summit North's names in a hat and drew one card out, you would probably have a good chance to pick the district winner as anything.  This district is a toss-up for the top four ranked teams.

MISSOURI CLASS 5 FOOTBALL RATINGS 10/30/19

I toyed with Missouri Boys football ratings last year and developed a fairly good algorithm that predicted play-off winners.  I didn't bother this fall until this past week, when I started looking at the 220 or so boys eleven man football scores.  It's a tedious effort but I enjoy seeing how the kids perform to the ratings.  I have to remind myself they are 16- and 17-year-olds and don't often perform at their best.  You see that in the ratings by week where they might be a 100 rating but they have a 120 game rating one week and an 80 rating against a lesser team the week. So, with not a lot of fanfare, I am posting some of the classes, starting with class 5.  There are a few great teams including Staley, Fort Zumwalt North, Chaminade and Eureka but the class of the division is Jackson. I have boldened the favorite in each district and I will make some predictions next week.  For now, the favorite of teams that have to play in to the district this week ...

Class 6 Missouri High School Football 2nd round predictions

I had a pretty good week last week, missing one of the sixteen matchups but the teams are much more competitive this week.  I actually had 7th seed Blue Springs South ranked 9 points better than Troy but picked Troy, based on MSHSAA seedings.  Ouch!  Gotta believe my own algorithm. Here's my outlook for the 2nd round, based on my ratings, not the league: Class 6 Missouri Football 2nd round 1 Christian Brothers College by 36 4 Hazelwood West No   one touches CBC.   This one is over at half-time when the CBC JV gets playing time. 3 Pattonville 2 DeSmet by 10 De Smet is too tough for Pattonville although the Pirates will hang tough until the 4th quarter. 1 Rock Bridge by 5 4 Francis Howell Rock Bridge ekes by an improving Francis Howell team that is pea...

District Finals - Missouri HS Football picks for 11/15 games

It's the third week of  Missouri HS football play-offs and district finals are Friday and Saturday. These games will be much closer than the previous weeks where the average spread was 18 to 25 points.  With a few exceptions, most games are single digit spreads.  I have taken into account the home field advantage (+3 points) in this week's prognostications. Who's hot?  Well, can anyone come close to De Smet?  A very excellent Francis Howell team, with a top 5 state rating, will be a four touchdown underdog at De Smet Friday night.  Jackson should roll on with a win over Fox.  Bolivar, undefeated in class 4, gets their wings clipped at perennial juggernaut, Webb City.  In class 3, no one appears to stop Odessa, including Center this week. Lutheran North is unstoppable in class 2 and could give De Smet a great game.  In Class 1, can Hayti or Pierce City break the championship spell that Valle Catholic has had for umpteen years? Enjoy th...
