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.

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 ...
