Missouri State High School Football top 50

I took at look at my top 50 teams vs MaxPreps ratings and see a number of teams that Max Preps has "under-rated" in my estimation.  I will be focusing my ratings the rest of the season on my top 50 as we look forward to the play-offs.

Here's my top 50, with the Max Prep state ranks in column four, next to my rating.

Missouri High School football playoff predictions revisited

UPDATED 12/2/2019 Weekend results were close to form.... Class 6 - Congrats to DeSmet who came back to beat Joplin Class 5 - my fav Jackson rolls, FZN loses close one to Carthage.  Jackson will beat Carthage by 30 in final. Class 4 - Webb City rolls over Ladue, Platt Co. upsets St. Mary's.  Webb City wins umpteenth championship next weekend by 35. Class 3 - Odessa trounces Kennett, Cassville ekes by Trinity.  Odessa all the way next weekend by 40. Class 2 - Lutheran North downed Lathrup, Ava beat Clark County.  LN beats Ava by two touchdowns for another championship. Class 1 - Lincoln took down Marceline but cannot get past Valle Catholic, perennial champion who beat down Mid-Buchanan. Predictions last week - 9 out of 11 correct for 82%. Overall predictions for play-offs - 248 out of 308 for 80.5%. Orignal post It was a wild weekend of Missouri High School football action and, for the most part, went true to form.... or should I say, close to my algo...

Class 5 Missouri State High School Football playoff predictions

The Class 5 Missouri State High School Football playoffs are a somewhat complicated play-in process with 5 or 6 teams in each district.  For districts with 5 teams, the bottom two teams play off this coming week and the top three get a week off.  For districts with 6 teams, the top two teams get a week off and the 3-6 seeds play. My ratings come up quite a bit different from the MSHSAA rankings and seedings.  The league has Fort Zumwalt rated the top class 5 team with Jackson, Fox and Staley following.  In fact, they rate Fox a few hundredths behind Jackson when I think Jackson is a 12 point favorite.  I have not rated FZN above a 105 rating all season.  Jackson should beat them by 16 if they meet in a quarterfinal game.  I actually would see Battle beating FZN before one of them has to play this powerhouse Jackson team. No matter who else gets to the final from the lower bracket, they will be playing an outstanding Jackson team.  Staley will ...

St. Louis area high school football rankings vs. Post Dispatch 10/5/2018

Just back from Ireland for a little Guinness, golf and sightseeing and trying to catch up on football game results.  Here's a look at how my statistical ratings match up with the Post-Dispatch large and small high school ratings.   With a few exceptions, top 10 in both ratings are solid with a few exceptions of over- or under-rating teams. In large schools, Kirkwood and Pattonville are in the top 10 large schools when De Smet and Francis Howell are more deserving of top 10 consideration. In small school polls, Cardinal Ritter, Columbia Illinois and Lutheran St. Charles are over-rated, in my estimation, by the P-D writers when Breese Central and Freeburg Illinois are both solid top 10 candidates. We will very well see how good Kirkwood is when they host Eureka tonight. In other games, De Smet is at Jefferson City , F rancis Howell plays a good Francis Howell North team, Pattonville travels to Marquette, Columbia plays at Breese Central and Lutheran St. Charles plays ...
