abbatt Posted August 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 You can`t be a National top 100 team with an OF line that averages 255 lbs and a def line of 225 like Loyola has. this year. They used to be a lot bigger.....not sure what has happened.Outside of SJP....PA is way down and IN has been trending down for the last 5 years. As for NJ...outside of 3-5 teams they don`t have much after that.Can`t comment on other states because i don`t follow them much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game today against JSerra and SJR on the other hand will. SJR is rightfully favored but JSerra will test them and I wouldn’t be surprised if JSerra wins a close game. It’s a no win situation for NJ because they are supposed to win this game, but wouldn’t bode well for NJ if it’s top team loses to the 3rd best team in the Trinity league. I for one am looking forward to a good game. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammyswordsman Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Florida is one bad loss away from trending down. (But its early) Fortunately the bad call against DLS saved them for awhile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one am looking forward to a good game. JSerra has two big advantages. 1. Already have a game under their belt. 2. Playing in So Cal. If SJR can overcome those, then I will tip my hat to them (and lose my $$ bet) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say this every year Keep in mind that very rarely are the FL vs OOS matchups even close to being even It's normally teams from 20-80 range facing teams from other states in their top 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. Expected or not, it definitely moves the needle because it's no longer theory. NJ is too thin at the top (to few teams in the national conversation) to not be hurt by a bad loss, expected or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLS has a piece of 13 MNCs since ‘94 and I think maybe one of those teams was AS LARGE as Loyola may not be able to win MNCs anymore but there’s lots of room in top 100 for a team with that size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one close to a Mater Dei, SJB, SFA etc. No marquee OOS wins outside of STA winning against DLS. Embarrassing blowouts by Miami Central, Deerfield Beach, Cocoa, AHP And Southridge. Armwood has a chance to step up and they shit the bed. Sammy I have seen the light!!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abbatt Posted August 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Pops, The top teams are much bigger now. Even DLS has more size than they used to on the lines....And the no scrimmage rule in IL is the kiss of death for our teams in OOS openers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ is too thin at the top (to few teams in the national conversation) to not be hurt by a bad loss, expected or not. Having seen Dematha and Bosco, I can say the Dematha looked like a "National Team" and DBP looked like a D-3/4 public school team in So Cal. DBP would be the smallest team in the Trinity League, by far. I am not saying this to be mean, just stating facts as I saw them. DBP was undersized on both lines. No explosiveness on either side of the ball. Offensively, they were much slower than the SJB defense, and kept trying to run sweeps, and losing yardage. Defensively, they sold out to stop the runs, but they did not have the corners to keep the big plays from happening. Over and Over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think last year a 0-9 team made the playoffs. Or the year before. Gadsden County. If Columbia is supposed to be a state and nationally ranked team, then they dismantle teams like this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
