The west has 1 good team, and that team is by far far better than the #2 team in the west, stop it!

Oh really? How many west teams have you watched play? I won't argue that one team is DAMN good...but #2 and #3 are likely to make some waves in the playoffs also.

Saying there is only one in the west would be like me saying that the east only has 3 good teams (top seed in each division).

Besides, I'm still upset with you for standing me up at the Tulsa scrimmages!    ;D

You can get away with saying that, because he doesn't talk to "newbies"!

I give sunday shoutouts to every team we play not just the Hot Boys. In fact the Hot Boys deserve more but we just tryna make the playoffs. Our season officially starts this weekend with a talented ORed team. We'll see how it goes!

I think U Silver wins that one by a large margin.

I fail to see how there's any disrespect for Bixby Red here. They're the champs for a reason & until someone stops the Red Machine or scores a point on them, the reigning champs are indeed the unanimous #1.

Everyone else is in their shadow until someone knuckles up & knocks them from the top. Plenty of the other teams are capable, but can they actually execute?? Only time will tell.

As I previously mentioned, I like to crunch the numbers. So let me throw a few out there on this particular topic.

6th grade teams in INFC:  48
West/East teams:   10/38
Undefeated teams & one-loss teams:   14 with 3 in the west
That means 30% of all west teams and 29% of all east teams fall in this list

Divisions 1, 2 and AA1 each have 3 teams on the list while Divisions 3 and AA2 have 2 followed by Division 4 with only 1 team on this list.

Now, let's talk strength of schedule for all of these teams. Like the east/west debate, strength of schedule can be extremely subjective and based on preconceived bias. Therefore, I am only going to look at how these 14 teams have performed against teams that currently have a winning record.

Surprisingly, the team that has had the toughest schedule so far is Choctaw Gold (4-1) who has played 80% of their schedule against currently winning teams. Second toughest has been Bixby Red at 60% while Edmond Bulldogs, Union Silver, TYAA Blue, Jenks Silver, Lincoln Christian, Westmoore, Owasso White, Cascia Hall and Berryhill have all played 40% against winning teams. Bixby Blue comes in at 20% while BA Platinum and Hilldale finishes the list with 0% of their opponents so far having a winning schedule.

The data certainly supports my hypothesis about parity across the grade and league. It will be interesting to revisit this topic towards the end of the regular season with the final test coming in the playoffs.

PRESSPass i took your idea a step further to show opponents played average winning percentage and a kind of power ranking. OPPW% is what it is, but the Power Rank takes into account overall wins, overall scoring differential, divisional points / standings and OPPW%. Concerning parity you're right, 6 of the top 20 teams are from the West, with the top 3 teams being Edmond Bulldogs, C. Gold and Westmoore, who will likely make the playoffs in that order. well, short of Westmoore beating Edmond in the last game of the season, or if the Huskies or C. Blue can steal a win from Westmoore.

What's really interesting is seeing Metro's power ranking...even with two losses their rank is on par with a one loss C. Gold and even a 5-0 Jenks Silver. Metro will end a higher seed's run in the playoffs.

@Literary_Cemetary    Bixby Red has gotten lucky twice now.    Their offense is lacking.  QB play is highly questionable.  That Defense is for real, thats the only part that keeps them in the hunt.  too bad for them that 39 can't run that ball.  TYAA and Edmond seem to be the new top dog.   I'm betting that Jenks knuckles up and beats Red.

The Red Machine got more than #39. They have some ballers. Jenks Will have to find a way to put up 2TD to have a chance at pulling the upset.
