Just curious. What is the percentage of Catholic schools in the state? What is the percentage of private schools in the state that football?

The OHSAA website states 709 schools that are registered for 11 man football but when you total the actual number of schools that are listed within each region that number is 661.

Anyone know why there would be a difference of 48 like this?

I believe you are correct as what I was looking at shows posted on 9/18 and reposted 9/23. Below that is another link that in fact shows those 709 schools. But what is odd is that Zanesville Bishop Rosecrans does not appear in the 709 but they do in the 661. If I remember correctly, they were going to be 6 man football before the season started so maybe at some point that changed. Regardless, after looking at both links it appears that "Catholic" schools are approximately 7.5% - 7.8% so you were correct.

Oh, and just noticed your marine tagline......Thank you for your service and Happy Veteran's Day!

Bishop Rosecrans was going to be 8-man again this year, however as soon as the season got shortened by OHSAA they switched back to 11-man. That’s why they’re not included as being 11-man in the original 709 count.

Will be interesting to see if the percentage goes up. 7% of the total holding number schools and having 38% left in Playoffs could be great and/or alarming depending on how you look at it.

Now, now it's the biggest magnet here on the SE side and Harvest Prep is the smallest with Hartley in the middle. That's the plan, right ? You gotta have large, medium and small sports powers to keep it evened out !!!!!

The new bypass gave Pickerington a new recruiting area in Athens. They have picked up 3 recruits from Athens

Yep, new 33 saves me another 1/2 hr travel time when going back down home to see family.

This is why I say . . . There's nothing to argue about. The numbers speak for themselves. It's more a matter of figuring out what the advantages may be. The question of whether they exist or not is rather evident from the numbers.

It's always interesting to me that when you look at the percentages of privates that qualify for the playoffs each year it's not anywhere close as lopsided as it is when we get to the final 4 or finals. It's usually not much higher than the total makeup of privates overall.

So if privates have such an advantage then shouldn't the percentage be that lopsided when looking at who qualifies before looking at who advances?

Harbins favors public schools since it doesnt use the third level points. Beating Chillicothe is worth almost the same as beating Desales

Most of the Catholics annually schedule tougher games and/or with bigger schools that are more competitive and usually are pretty good teams whether in conference or out and can afford to lose 3,4 or sometimes even 5 to get in the playoffs and with 12 teams per region starting next year this will help them even more than many publics who will be seeded higher with gaudy records but have played weak schedules. I already feel sorry for some of the public top 4 seeds from here on out that get byes in rd. 1 and have to play a Catholic that was seeded 5-12 and already have a win under their belts while the 1-4 sits for 2 weeks awaiting the winner in rd.2.

Are you saying this is why you think more Catholic school advance farther in the playoffs versus publics? Or are you saying that more Catholic schools do not qualify because they schedule too difficult and end up with not enough points?

I don't disagree with what you are saying and this is not restricted to only private schools. Publics can schedule the same way.

It makes me think of the previous years when less and less teams got in and you would have an undefeated not get in due to a very weak schedule.

1.) Yes 2.) Previously yes, with 12 teams next year, no problems. 3.) More public's will start doing it now with expanded format and 4.) weak schedules will always be a problem for some schools.
