Here are the computer points for week 9. I made a few mistakes that are corrected now, but hey, so did Joe Eitel

Interesting, less than .50 points seperating team 8 through 11, final 2 weeks fans will see some good football played to try and get in the top 8.

Anyone have a prediction for how it will all shake out? Could West, Pleasant, and/or Alexander drop out of top 10 allowing teams like Westfall, JM, Amanda in? Who in the top 11 could lose another game?

Ironton should finish 8-2
Heath should finish 9-1
Hartley should finish 8-2
Coshocton should finish 8-2 (loss to Dover)
Portsmouth West should finish 8-2 (loss to Wheelerburg w/o top player?)
Alexander should finish 8-2 (maybe 7-3 depending on how they rebound from NY loss)
Highland should finish 8-2
Pleasant should finish 7-3
Johnstown should finish 7-3
Amanda should finish 7-3
Westfall should finish 7-3 (maybe 6-4 depending if Piketon can win or not but a lot of points to gain from win over Piketon)
Portsmouth should finish 3-7 (maybe 4-6 if they beat Logan, but will lose to Ironton)
Utica should finish 6-4 (if Utica packs it in maybe Danville can win, but unlikely)
Piketon should finish 6-4 (maybe 7-3 if they can knock of Westfall)

Top 4 are in for sure... how the bottom 4 shake out will be interesting... can any of the teams move up and knock Coshocton out of the 4 spot? I am liking the chances Johnstown has of getting in... that Utica game is haunting them now. They will still need help, but anything is possible. Is this the week Joe starts to do the playoff chances? I hope so

Ironton has finished first in their region 17 times since the start of the playoffs. Just an interesting tid-bit

These are incorrect. He has Piketon beating Southeaster 14-13, when they actually lost 16-14.

[pottiemouth]

The points are correct now on Joe Eitel's site and on the first post above.

Ironton, Heath, Hartley, West, Highland, and Amanda-Clearcreek are sitting pretty for the playoffs. Coshocton and Alexander have huge games this week which will determine alot about the order of the region. My prediction this week for the finish is:

Ironton
Heath
Hartley
Amanda-Clearcreek
Portsmouth West
Highland
Coshocton
Alexander

A lot would have to happen, but one possibility would be a rematch of Ironton and Hartley. If the above holds, this would be for the regional championship.

A lot could happen but I would not rate Hartley over Coshocton or Heath. These two teams were pretty close last season and both teams returned most of their line ups. Heath is not a big team but they're extremely fast and I would like this matchup with Hartley.
