Just by looking at the records, one would think that this EPC tilt should go the way of SWE, but Bfield comes into this game in first place in the conference because they did what SWE couldn't do....beat Washington. Because of that loss, SWE comes in sitting in third place, but can secure a conference championship if they can pull out the win tonight. Don't let Bfield's record fool you...they essentially played a 3A Big East non conference schedule for four games, and only lost by 2 vs the #7 2A team Greene Central, whose defense is immovable. So that 4 in the loss column is deceptive, especially since all of the games were touchdown close. By contrast, SWE's non conference record was meh. It would have been awesome last year. This year's opponents all together were 76-64 last season. This year, all opponents thru ten games, they are 42-57. Advantage Bfield. Bfields defense is the best in the league, leading in ppg. Had it not been for the Washington debacle, SWE would be leading. Advantage Bfield. Offensively, I think this is where SWE will win the game, for as good as Bfield's defense is, their offense is unspectacular. In 6 out of 10 games, they have score 20 or fewer points, while SWE has score 33 or more in 7 of 10 contests. Because of this, I give SWE the edge in the game because if we can get at least 21, the odds of Bfield being able to keep up score wise deminish. It should be an awesome game with much to play for. Bfield has drawn the number three seed in the event of a three way tie, which will happen if they lose and Washington wins their game. A win erases all of that a secures the one. SWE drew the second seed, but will fall to third with a loss. So basically, the loser is the third conference seed. A home playoff game is highly unlikely. I'm expecting a lot of drama in this one and I can't wait to report it.
