Look at trhe situation: 1,800 students, all boys, solid academic rep, huge endowment fund provides money for "diversity" scholarships, ability to draw from a vast geographic area, excellent facilities, excellent coaching, don't look for them to lose too many games in the near future or for many years to come.

Apples and oranges.

Sounds like a sticky situation.

Is that supposed to be some sort of immature joke?

Ok?

Anyway, back towards the topic at hand, a better poll would have been something like St. X (-15) vs. Coffman. Not many people outside of central Ohio are giving the 'Rocks much of a chance in this game. Coffman has a great offense, as does St. X, but the overwhelming push in St. Xavier's favor seems to play of the team's defense. I figure Coffman and St. X's offenses are about equal whereas St. X's defense is vastly superior to Coffman's defense. The only way I see Coffman taking this game is if they can manage to keep the St. X offense off the field, which may be tough because they're going to have to run the ball on the St. X defense, and no one has been able to do that. Coffman will have to force turnovers and rely on 5-10 yard tosses in the flats to keep the ball moving and control the clock. The name of the game is ball control, and no one has done that better in recent years than St. X. Should be a good game to watch.

I'll say . . .

St. X 34
Coffman 17
