This looks like the playoff game of the week. It should be down to the wire. But ... it is the playoffs.
Aledo 1 over Aledo 4 by 4 |
November 21, 2008
The Minor playoffs were not as exciting as the runaway Bantam games. They were more of the grinding-out-yardage type.
I'm looking for upsets here but I'm not seeing them. What's up, guys? No real shockers. I want to see some upsets.

Predictions
The following predictions and the ratings are made using either
1. Your performance in the last playoff game, or
2. Your final season rating if you haven't played a playoff game.
There were some apparently lazy teams last week. They had better get serious because most of the playoff teams are.

I've added two new columns to help you see how your
team is doing. The first column after your team name is its current
strength rating. The second number is how your team has done over the
season. This is comparable to a team's standings. Of course, it is not
official. Wins and losses are the official factor for which teams go
to the playoffs. The last number tells you how much your team's game
quality has gone up or down over the past three weeks. If it is up,
play hard and make it go up more. If it is down, you need to get back
into your "zone."
I have decided this is a better way to go than to predict winners.
When a not-so-good team begins to play better, I like to give it a
little push. By knowing when it is starting to improve, a team can
concentrate on its direction instead of worrying about how high a
rating the next opponent has. I remember a team a few years ago that
suddenly discovered they were good and made a run at the championship.
If I remember correctly, they were in the championship game.
Here's how I view it from both sides. If my team is the favorite by,
say, 21 points, I want to win by more. If my team is a 21-point
underdog, I want to deprive the better team of winning by 21. By
seeing the game this way, you can win even if you have less points.
So, in my opinion, worry more about that last column than the first
one. The reason you're here is to learn discipline and how to play the
game. Winning isn't everything. Improvement is. Football is a game.
Let's keep it fun.

These ratings are the result of only one game. Don't
put much faith into them because the bottom team could still be
playing in the championship. We have to watch as other games are tied
together and then we will see the strong teams rise to the top.

ratings this season.
